I use Bluesky to talk to myself because I really don’t want to hear from people in my life when I want to talk about my experiences with disability. Watching my ability to live my life disappear from me over the last couple years has been hard - and most people really don’t “get it”.

I can’t emphasize enough how much accessibility benefits everyone. Ramps, elevators, ventilated air, automatic doors. You caring about accessibility is literally caring about your future. You will become disabled unless you die young. Investing in the disability community is investing in yourself.

Maybe it’s the depression talking but it’s kinda funny to watch how quickly Canadians suddenly care about not being American when this is the thing they beg for in casual conversations. Like Ya’ll WANTED this???

Brother on the clock app said the reason you not seeing black farmers lose their shit is because they’ve been excluded from these subsides all along.

I keep seeing sentiments like "don't let the world get to you" which feel a lot like "don't let your disability hold you back".
The world is getting to all of us. It's not your fault if it does. It isn't up to you to ignore it and smile. If we must cry and weep and be gloomy, that is okay.

The urge to not tell the boomer man with the “Canada Isn’t For Sale” hat that the reason we’re even in this mess is BECAUSE Canada is, indeed, for sale.

It’s easier to forgive other people than to forgive yourself. Often we don’t even get to the point of forgiving ourselves.
Please forgive yourself.
