Retired early from a fabulous career in WHS and Voc Rehab Counselling. Born with Spinal Bifida, I’m a strong disability rights activist. Here to make friends & spread joy in through baking, crochet, knitting and yarn spinning. Also dog pics.

Hi, BlueSky. It's Hillary.

I've joined up here to help get the word out about an important election in Wisconsin tomorrow, and other ways to defend our democracy against those who think votes can be bought.

Hey all you conscientious non voters in the USA who didn’t vote for Kamala cause she wasn’t strong enough on Gaza, do you feel like a fucking idiot now? Cause I knew this would happen under Trump. #genocide #WarCrimes #USACoup #ElonIsANazi

To prevent me from doom scrolling I’m working on this lovely jumper from Tin Can Knits, Love Note. In a Les Garçons yarn, lavender tea. Just saw on the label it’s jointly Canadian and UK made. Go 🇨🇦 🍁. 🥰🥰

It’s funny his every gun nut in the USA I’ve ever conversed with is like - duh 2nd Amendment to protect America! Well this is your time my friends. Stop shooting school kids and take back your country.

@albomp.bsky.social can I ask what sanctions and tariffs Australia is planning for the actions of Trump and Elon Musk? They are systematically dismantling democracy in one of our closest allies and starting a trade war with another. We cannot trust them with our national security.

Hey USA, Australia has a burgeoning film industry, we’ve shot some brilliant shows and films here. We wouldn’t mind if you made us the new Hollywood.

I’m not cut out to be a politician. If I were Justin Trudeau, I’d have held my press conference right next to the valve that shuts off natural gas or electricity, ready to turn it. 😩

FO stage of FAFO is more terrifying that I had thought. Elon has never had any scruples. He is not a vetted or elected official. He has stated and won a coup for USA. Trump is his puppet. If even WAPO is concerned that says something.

Step 1: Remove people with disabilities from the workforce because "they're not as effective as able bodied people".

Step 2: Complain that disabled persons are sucking up healthcare resources because they don't provide any economic input.

Step 3: Destroy disabled persons in gas chambers.

Things like not getting fired or shut out of public life for contracting COVID or getting vaccinated or wearing a mask.

I need you to understand that rescinding this protection will hurt everyone. Disabled people first and foremost, but anyone with any medical condition ever. That’s everyone.

What getting rid of the ADA would do is force disabled people out of workplaces and schools. It will force us into deeper isolation. Deprive us of medical care.

They want this very badly. Eugenicists believe we are a drain and should “just die”, in Trump’s own words.

I already have a little crush on this woman and now I find she crochets and knits. If she’s in Australia in September, she should come to the Gympie Spinners and Weavers Camp!!! And bring Kamala with her. 🥰🥰
Thank you, I’ll have plenty! I used to crochet a long time ago and just started knitting a few weeks ago.

It’s been a great way to stop doomscrolling and reflect 😌

I’ve finished a Sophie scarf and have started a sweater. (I’m waiting for more purple yarn & am casting on a new cardigan as I wait 🫣)

Why is my t-shirt more offensive to our prime minister than a 50-year assault on democracy?

If you ever wondered what you’d do if you lived in Germany when the Gestapo began rounding people up and putting them in camps, congratulations. Now you get to find out.

Another part of the biter guidebook - dumb down the populace. Stopping all research grants cause you’re upset you had to get daddy to pay for your degree? Proves you are less intelligent than we thought Nazi wannabe president.

The time to get your country back is NOW.
Until very recently I was supervising two graduate students whose salaries came completely from NSF grants. I’m extremely glad right now that both have graduated and are no longer relying solely on those funds to survive.

I’m remembering that it was only 80 years ago when the prisoners were released from Auchwitz. It reminds me of my old neighbour who took care of me when I was working full time and studying my masters. He and his lovely wife would invite me over for dinner and send me home with food.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.
