Doug Ford’s plan to privatize alcohol sales will cost Ontario taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars. Now it’s forcing LCBO workers to go on strike. Workers say Ford is helping billionaires and big business siphon profits from healthcare, education and public services

two things are true for me a disabled person in legislated sub-poverty living in canada: 1. i'd be dead if not for public healthcare 2. yet i've still had to crowd-fund thousands upon thousands of dollars multiple times for basic needs & out-of-pocket medical costs like oxygen, mobility aids etc

i live in canada & while what's left of our public healthcare system is better than the US, that's a very low standard. public services are defunded & bought off by private equity, our disability "support" rates are just as abject poverty level as the US & out of pocket medical expenses are absurd.

so my partner just told me that when i was in the hospital in march, i woke up from surgery & mistook the bag that was attached to a tube in my back to drain excess fluid & blood for pomegranate juice?? apparently i kept trying to open it to have a sip so they eventually had to just hide it from me

New study by Linsey Marr:

“We aerosolized SARS-CoV-2 & pulled it through masks. After 1hr we were able to recover infectious virus from fabric masks but not an N95 or surgical mask. When we pressed artificial skin against the masks we found viral RNA but no infectious virus on the skin.” #MasksWork

i am tired of ppl in healthcare putting their hands on me without asking first. it's bad enough that strangers feel entitled to violate my privacy & personal space as a visibly disabled person. ffs i am not some inanimate object to be manhandled nor am i here to satisfy your curiosity. ASK FIRST.

truly infuriating when ppl can't grasp the concept that they themselves having a marginalized identity doesn't absolve them from the capacity to inflict harm when aligning themselves with the values of deeply oppressive power structures

not only is it wrong (social media can & has been a useful tool for organizing & activism) but it necessitates some level of ignorance & privilege to say that shit during increasing surveillance, eradication of third spaces, criminalization of protests on top of generally inaccessible infrastructure

I don't know that folks who haven't been paying attention realize how extremely powerful social media has been for allowing Disabled people who are otherwise isolated and excluded for so many reasons to connect and share ideas and be heard.

You can't both shove Disabled people out of offline spaces and then say "online discussion of how not to be a harmful person isn't praxis". I mean, you can but you're being an asshole. And for many Disabled people, those offline spaces were never accessible. It's not just masking.

For a lot of Disabled people, posting-as-praxis is what we can do. I don't have a lot of respect for people who want to denigrate this specific part of community participation.

also not to keep ranting but it's not just costs that gatekeep poor disabled ppl from the vital mobility aids/assistive devices we need. it's the arduous, time-consuming application process. repairs which are also not covered often take many months -even YRS. but those barriers don't exist for MAiD.
