Roses are red,
violets are blue.
If you'd be fragrance-free,
then I could hug you.

Image of a canary wearing a gas mask and Santa hat, perched on a branch inside a wreath that has all kinds of fragranced & other products that emit hazardous air pollutants (rubber duck, plastic toys, fragranced or otherwise toxic laundry products, personal care products, candles, pesticides)... "seriously 'sensitive' to pollution" is written in pale text over the canary's belly.

What to do when one is at the end of one's cut & frayed rope due to systemic discrimination & systemic accessibility barriers for very basic needs?

Image of a frayed rope with one strand left. Most strands have been cut, a couple are worn out. Text includes (from top to bottom): multiple chemical sensitivities MCS/ES environmental sensitivities People with MCS experience adverse effects that range from mild to disabling to life threatening from exposures to products and materials made by the oil, gas, and chemical industry. Ever wonder why you've never heard about us? The 'seriously "sensitive" to pollution logo text runs up the upper left side of the image Image of a frayed rope with one strand left. Most strands have been cut, a couple are worn out. Over the last strand in the middle of what's left of the rope are the words ACCESS IS LOVE Text includes (from top to bottom): SAVE LIVES! BE SCENT-FREE In the middle (right) there is an image of a woman with long dark hair, dark sleeveless top, and long light skirt inside a bubble, with arms upraised, trying to get out. Over her head is the word HELP Under the woman trapped in the bubble is the 'seriously "sensitive" to pollution logo text and the words invisible barriers, invisible disabilities, invisible people systemic barriers, deterioration, people no more In faded text below that and in the background of the entire image are the words BE SCENT-FREE, DON'T POLLUTE, and BE FRAGRANCE-FREE Image of a frayed rope with one strand left. Most strands have been cut, a couple are worn out. The 'seriously "sensitive" to pollution logo text runs up the right of the rope At the top of the image is the text ~ Canadian Human Rights Commission Medical Perspective on Environmental Sensitivities There is a woman with long dark hair wearing a sleeveless dark top, and light coloured skirt Her arms are raised and extended as if she is in a bubble. Above her head is an arc of bubbles (largest in the middle, with bubbles getting smaller down the sides) with a faded image of the woman inside them. The text below the photo is from the CHRC document, and states: "The health and ability for those with environmental sensitivities rests with the choiuces and actions of others" The words 'invisible barriers, invisible disabilities, invisible people' run across the bottom of the image

screenshot What you need to know What is environmental sensitivity? People who have allergies or sensitivity to certain products may have a bad reaction to a much lower level of chemicals, perfumes or environmental triggers than the average person. Their reaction is a medical condition. It is a recognized disability. People with allergies or environmental sensitivity are entitled to protection from its cause. The Canadian Human Right Act protects people with allergies or environmental sensitivities, like any other disability. Employees or clients with environmental sensitivities can ask employers or service providers for accommodation. Employers and service providers must ensure that their facilities are accessible and safe. In the case of environmental sensitivities, this means: - reducing the use of chemicals; - having a scent-free policy; - purchasing less toxic products; ... These measures can prevent injuries and illnesses and reduce health and safety risks. ~ The CHRC
