The Netherlands May Become the First Country With a Universal Basic Income
D66's Dutch election win was fueled by a universal basic income plan, backed by trials showing removing work rules boosts well-being without hurting employment
New on my Substack about how the election that just happened in the Netherlands may soon result in the Dutch attaining first place in the race for Universal Basic Income. What happened and why did it happen? Give it a read!

Hey, just a little reminder, if your costume requires you use an assistive device or mobility aid you don't need, you still have time to reconsider your costume.
Like, how about go out as a longshoreman instead of Lt. Dan if you have both legs and don't use a wheelchair.

And today in Ontario politics....
Doug Ford makes me want to eat every dairy product I can find, then go fertilize his entire front lawn while I look him in the eyes.
In other news, I may be in the luteal phase.

Dear Americans..
Doug Ford is as corrupt as Trump. He's just bathing in maple syrup to make himself more digestible.

I don't post here often, and haven't really scrolled in ages... But umm.. there's a whole lot of beautiful bodies on my feed π
... I'm not complaining, just surprised. Unfortunately, seeing beautiful bodies followed up by either Trumps or Pierre Poilievreβs faces is just... Jarring and unsettling πΆ

Forget the Trump ad.
Ford's "Fighting Delays, Building Faster Act" (Bill 60) is a direct assault on tenant rights, especially for disabled & low-income Ontarians.

Just another example of how little Ford cares about the needs of Ontarians. We desperately need doctors, but hey, let's make it even harder than it already is for internationally trained doctors (many of whom are more up to date than doctors here for years)!

We're 27% of the #Canadian electorate, yet full #Accessibility is still an afterthought. We're an afterthought. #Canada pats itself on the back for doing the bare minimum then expects us to be grateful for that? #SocialClimateChange #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs #DisabilityJustice #HumanRights #CanPoli

Infographic. Orange background with white writing stating that there's a lack of accessibility at polling stations despite 1 in 4 Canadians having a disability and 27% of the electorate being disabled. There are images of a bus, a wheelchair crossed out with an electronic device crossed out. It also says "Disabled voters are left out of every stage of the election process. There is an image of a femme presenting person with pink hair and glasses using a pink rollator in the bottom right corner.
When we make up more than 1/4 of the electorate, it speaks volumes that only 15 of 39 criteria are mandatory. Parking? Not necessary. Accessible parking? Ha! Buses to polling stations? If you're lucky! Accessible bathroom? Γ luxury! Seating for lineups? Pft! Also, platforms are highly inaccessible!

Yes, this #Election in #Canada is critical, but that should never negate the needs of some of the most vulnerable in the country. Disability is inevitable and can happen at any time. It is the only intersection that has free admission. It is the group that intersects with all other marginalization.

How are we to hold politicians to account? Are we supposed to pretend everything is hunky dory just because the party you want us to vote for isn't #PierrePoilievre? What happened to being critical of ALL parties?

Not once we're #Disabled people mentioned in campaigns and only broadly without targeted action in platforms. The words disabled and #Accessible were not mentioned once by #Conservatives or #Liberals, and the #NDP are selling out. And all of it will be talked about!
