Canada treating MAID like a pressure release valve will never not horrify me. The cold cruelties of a system that exists to repeatedly communicate the message to disabled people that they are disposable, and more efficient at dispensing death than it is at care.

"“Brilliant people have to be in those positions,” Trump said.

He cited efforts by the FAA to hire individuals with disabilities, including Dwarfism, missing limbs and intellectual disabilities."

That's one for sure!

Great question.

I think that what "seizure-free" means is also opinion. Does seizure-free mean to someone they are no longer epileptic? Does it mean to someone they're epileptic with seizures under control? Refractory or not? Does it mean a day without?

I do stand-up about my epilepsy sometimes (officially year without a seizure btw!)

For those with memory loss, I see you this #Thanksgiving; the anxiety you have going into tomorrow. Will you: remember faces/names, struggle to reminisce with family while pretending to know the stories, be so overwhelmed you need to leave? It’s ok to feel this anxiety. 💜 #epilepsy #memoryloss

What really gets my goat about this accurate observation is that physicians are often so quick to psychiatrize disabled people as hysterical or paranoid--but apparently cannot comprehend the lasting psychological effects of being told your doctor thinks euthanasia is an option you should consider

Danielle Smith’s new policies make all Albertan youth unsafe The harms posed to trans youth are more than enough reason to abandon three proposed Alberta bills. However, trans youth are not the only victims of these reckless policies.

My colleague and I wrote about how harmful Danielle Smith’s new anti-trans policies would be for ALL youth. Don’t think this is only an attack on trans youth—it makes all children more vulnerable.

Great to see familiar faces!

You too, Lori Jaye!

It's great to find you, Trevor! Really glad you're here.

Hi that's great! Glad you're here and looking forward to reading your posts. Liverpool's cool.

I appreciate you reaching out!

Having epilepsy and finding out just how little doctors know about any of it has been such a trip.

You’ve got ghosts in your brain. Do some anticonvulsants about it.

Ive been thinking about how lighting is not all that frequently included in discussions of accessibility--one of my biggest triggers are light and patterns--as someone with epilepsy and migraines, and grocery stores and so many public spaces are so badly lit they leave me a triggered mess.

I was so happy to see you here too! It's great to find you. The epileptic community has kind of gone to the four winds.
