If you've ever doubted you're 'disabled enough', or struggled to advocate for yourself as a disabled person, or if you'd like to know more about ableism; this blog post is for you.
“She explained how much Covid could hurt her & how vulnerable it felt to be unable to wear a mask to protect herself.
She was a perfect example of why other people need to wear masks even if they don’t personally think Covid will hurt them”

Thank You Alice Wong
Alice Wong has passed away and the disability community has lost a leader. I lost a mentor and a friend. The Disabled Ginger wouldn't exist without Alice and everything she taught me.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

the normalization and weaponization of calling women “crazy” is exhausting
If a man calls a woman “crazy” please know that it’s actually code for “she is reasonably upset by the compounded experiences of injustice that her mere existence has subjected her to and I don’t want to acknowledge it or I fear I will realize I’ve benefited from the culture of it.” Hope that helps!

There is no reason on this Earth that we cannot have the same. We have been told that this is Socialism, and Socialism equates to Communism, and Communism will take our freedom. Propagandized? Damn right we have, for all of our lives.

I put #DanielleSmith and #DougFord at the centre of this toxic embarrassment. Underfunding healthcare, public health and education, while actively allowing anti-vax nonsense to impact policy decisions. #ONpoli #ableg #measles #cenpoli
Excuse my language, but fucking anti vaxxers who have no compassion or empathy for others caused this. Listen to Science not the keyboard warriors who think they know more than doctors.

if there was a national day of cancelling your party membership over healthcare just to put the fear of god into them with some hard numbers, that’s where I think I’m at now

By using s33 pre-emptively, the UCP is not simply admitting that their laws are breaching Charter rights. (Governments have done that before.)
By foregoing judicial review, they are further admitting that their laws cannot be justified in a democratic society.
