Cherie Priest has a new book out!

In case you didn't know she is one of my fave authors and a huge part of why I returned to writing.

I've never been paid for my advocacy, nor have I ever expected it.

I want to share my experiences, hopefully make life easier for others.
Friendly reminder that many disability advocates are generating content for free

They want to save lives and provide community support

Most of us are struggling to make ends meet ourselves, but show up every day in the hopes of helping someone else

Be kind. Don’t make demands. Lift each other up

"Doing you best" often just means "being present."

I stepped on a rake and hit myself in the face like a cartoon character.

Thankfully, my wife was there to help me find my glasses: otherwise I'd have been doing an imitation of Velma too.

I'm a general contractor who works with people who work in the film industry locally.

It's weird watching TV and knowing I painted the house in that commercial.

There is no way changing my diet will cure my diabetes. That's like saying the country life will cure asthma; it ain't happening folks.
Food sovereignty must include food accessibility
Here’s the thing about suggesting “cooking classes” as an alternative to insulin for diabetics.

It’s ignorant. It’s ableist. It’s eugenicist. We know all of this.

It’s also incredibly privileged.

It assumes that healthy eating is accessible to everyone & that not doing it is a choice 🧵

I earned a Bachelor of Arts (Greek and Roman History, minor in English Literature). Then I studied a trade.

I think that people should study both, at least a little, to be fully grounded.

Me: ...goddamn, fine, I'll allow it.

Totally bragging here. I ate pizza last night and stayed in range.

Thank you, insulin pump. #T1D

This is horrible.

I don't always agree with the personal opinions of @rachelgilmore.bsky.social, but I do think she presents the facts in an accurate manner (with minimal bias).

Her being canceled to dodge trolls will allow the spread of mis/disinformation.

I wouldn't hide it; nor would I use it.
If Donald Trump and JD Vance were both on fire and you only had one fire extinguisher, where would you hide it?

Méllanie Joly is a tough and polite person; like most Canadians. She speaks for what most of us feel.
Hey - anyone Americans in red states? Please tag me on a photo of the new Canadian billboards if you see them! (Minute 1-2 for info)

"...when Noem visited she stood on the American side and said "U.S.A. No. 1" and then, after crossing onto the Canadian side, said "the 51st state."

Boudreau said Noem did this multiple times."

Fascists are big babies caught in a perpetual tantrum.
U.S. limits Canadian access to iconic Stanstead, Que., border-straddling library, officials say | CBC News
The U.S. government is making it more difficult for Canadians to access the Stanstead, Que., library, an iconic building that straddles the border, according to town and library officials.

Without massive support within Canada, a military invasion of our proud nation would require: 1. A staggering number of troops; 2. Massive air support; and, 3. A willingness to waste lives.

It would be a logistical nightmare.
Whenever people would talk about military threats to Canada, I'd say: as someone who studied this stuff? The only country with a realistic ability to threaten us is the US. They'd think me a nutjob. This gets to be another of those scenarios where a leftist was right but gets no satisfaction from it

You know it's bad when even citizens of the U.S.A. see how far they've fallen.

It must feel like being a Canadian under the Harper Government.
HERO vs ZERO
I'm in a state of shock & still trying to process yesterday's shameful, traitorous debacle in the WH: A DAY THAT WILL LIVE IN INFAMY. Our standing in the world has plummeted overnight, but the repercussions will be felt forevermore.
