There’s nothing wrong with healthy living.
It just won’t prevent disability. It won’t make you bulletproof.
Telling people to “get healthier” if they want to afford healthcare is effectively telling sick people to accept being left to die.
Healthcare for all.

The uptick of people using pigs as an insult the last couple of days is disheartening. What may seem like a fair rebuttal to a vile man only serves to insidiously reinforce the idea that these intelligent, empathetic individuals are lesser than. A commodity, an ingredient, a slur.

“If I lost everything I would just work harder and take any job to earn it all back”.
Cool story. Try doing that if you’re disabled and bedbound.
You know what often causes people to “lose everything”. Sudden catastrophic health issues.
You can’t “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” when sick.

Those who're currently able need to wake the fuck up, & start realising that our whole society is deeply flawed in how we deal with situations & address issues. By not addressing many issues to be inclusive, it facilitates fascism & eugenics. Healthcare, social care, cost of living are all skewed!
“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”
If you want to honour Alice Wong’s memory, please mask up

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.

No, I will not mind my own business about things that happen in the United States. The Americans have no qualms about butting into the affairs of other countries. When a demented US President threatens to annex Canada, you’re damn right I’ll make a lot of noise.

This is so breathtakingly stupid, I suspect it is fake.
But it is funny. Enjoy.

The biggest problem to our democracy and sovereignty is politicians who spread misinformation.

Poverty and disability often go together
Most people have no idea how fast their life can change
One accident or illness is all it takes
Losing your health can quickly wipe out your finances, your contingencies and your support network
It’s why we need robust social supports.

Disability is a minority group you can join at any time
Many of us were “young & otherwise healthy” when we became ill
We were working & couldn’t imagine being unable to earn a living
We didn’t plan to become disabled. We didn’t plan to stop working
It can happen to anyone
