Canadian here…NO ONE NEEDS TO DIE IN THE COLD! If individuals don’t have the means to heat their homes, even if they don’t have warm clothing or blankets, or quilts, municipalities or states or the federal government can and should provide warming centres i.e. buildings with heat.

Can confirm that I voted by mail in our last Canadian federal election. Can also confirm from my lived experience as a person with a disability (MS) that I would be much less likely to vote if I was forced to go out to a polling station, and it would be impossible if there’s a lineup. πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

Purse hanging from hook inside washroom stall

 Close up of purse on a hook. The hook has 2 screws that look like cartoon X eyes, making it look like an octopus with raised fists.

MS meme: β€œPut on a pair of heavy gardening gloves, pick up a pencil, then stab yourself in the arm with it.” I read it & laughed. Today I dropped a pencil on the floor and with my heavy MS hands, managed to pick it up, then stabbed myself in the hand with it. I didn’t laugh.🀬 #ThisIsMS #MS #FUMS

An old black and white portrait photo of a young soldier in uniform in the early 1900’s. He is gazing into the camera and smiling with closed lips. No one in our extended family inherited his shy smile or his slightly protruding ears. He was unmarried and only 22 years old when he was killed in action.

Remembering my great uncle, Private Michael Francis Kennedy, Royal Newfoundland Regiment, one of The First 500 β€œBlue Puttees, killed in action in the battle of Beaumont Hamel, July 1, 1916. We honour all who served, and those who serve to protect us still. Democracy is a precious thing.

Don’t forget to consider: PMS, perimenopause, menopause, the fact that you’re post menopausal, or that you just need to move more, and/or lose weight.

I wish people would stop fixating on causes and cures for Autism and neurodiversity more broadly. It's time people listen to us, especially Neurodivergent people of color, women and others who are often excluded. Let actually Autistic and Neurodivergent people take the lead. This shouldn't be hard.

This was true for me. I had a lot of sick days a few years before my first relapse.

When you β€œhave a fall” vs β€œfall down”. Also, no one laughs when you do.

A promo poster for "Late Bloomer". A young bearded man is lying on a red floor. He is  wearing a brown jacket and turban. He's holding a bouquet of flowers, there are petals on the floor, and a couple of small brown birds sitting nearby.
