Disabled & chronically ill writer. Former theatre critic. Clean air is a human right & vulnerable people aren’t expendable. Covid is airborne 😷 A redheaded snippet who loves Sondheim. Once fainted into Hugh Jackman.
Leaked video from an ICE camp details people suffering from tuberculosis, a never ending “flu” & conjunctivitis. ICE enforcement is a mass disabling event. These are concentration camps. They’re a breeding ground for disease which will lead to preventable suffering, disability and death.
This is how you manufacture consent for eugenics. This is what happens when you put capitalism and the economy above human lives. Covid isn’t over. People are still “falling by the wayside” every day. Fauci deemed us expendable. We are NOT expendable.
Can we have universal healthcare? No. Can we address the absurd cost of food? No. Can we get ICE to stop murdering people? No. Can we get affordable housing, childcare or disability benefits? No. Heck many American communities don’t even have clean water. Literally no one wants this.
My disability impacts my proprioception… meaning I’m constantly bumping & banging into things. A few weeks ago I developed a nasty foot infection, and two days ago I sliced open my hand cutting the gauze FOR the foot infection. Chronic illness is no joke. Signed, gauze paw.
When you’re chronically ill, you have to lean into accommodations Sometimes a small change makes a huge difference! I had my monstera by the kitchen island. He got damaged because I was constantly fainting & grabbing the counter Replaced him with decals & now I can safely use counter as a railing
I’ve had an absolutely horrible few weeks rife with endless health setbacks… but there was an unexpected moment of joy. Meet my “calma llama”… a gift from my best friend. “When spit happens, give me a squeeze!” This little guy makes me smile whenever I see him. What should I name him?
While the US detains and mistreats athletes arriving for FIFA… Toronto has decorative football beavers scattered throughout the downtown core. The Mayor has also formally invited Omar Artan to referee the Toronto games. Omar is the Somali ref who the US won’t let in.
Figured I could just get someone to replace the faucet … but since this is a “special” faucet getting a normal one put on is a big job and involves removing tile and all kinds of other stuff. Looking for alternative suggestions? Things I maybe haven’t thought of?
Anyone into DIY air purifiers want to help me figure out how to fix my VOC filter? It’s a carbon canister attached to a PC fan. I thought I could refill the charcoal and just found out it’s not refillable. I’ve now got 8lbs of charcoal, an 8 inch PC fan and a hunk of metal. Any ideas?
Clothing update … this is the worst item. The white stuff all over it was not there 6 months ago. Friend soaked a drawer full of clothes in sodium percarbonate and the water was black after 6 hours. I assume that means mold? Friend says the clothes smell and look much better 1/2
The Toronto Zoo has dentists who are taking full airborne precautions for their animals! It’s great to see, but sad knowing how hard it is for us humans to find covid safe dentists.
This is Kirk Moore, the Oklahoma school principal who stopped a mass shooting by tackling the gunman despite being shot himself. Not all heroes wear capes, and many public servants will do anything to protect their communities. His students honoured him by making him Prom King.
The El Gamal family did nothing wrong. The father committed a crime & his children are paying the price. 5 kids and their mother have been held in Dilley for 10 months. Mom has fluid around her heart & needs urgent medical care. We made noise for Liam Ramos. Let’s make noise for this family.
Dr. Roberto Fernandez humiliated and harmed multiple women during gynaecological procedures. The disciplinary board deemed him “likely to reoffend”. Yet he gets to keep practicing medicine. He’s facing no formal charges. This is misogyny. Shame on everyone who enables this abuse.
Any member of Congress still supporting Trump will be complicit in crimes against humanity. They must be reminded their duty is to the people, not to one man who is on a mission to destroy everything. History will remember who tried to stop this, and who “just followed orders”
The new acting Attorney General, Todd Blanche, says it’s not a crime to party with Jeffrey Epstein. He says it’s not a crime to email with Epstein. He moved Ghislaine Maxwell to a cushy minimum security prison. This is not a man who will fight for survivors. This is a predator protector.
Trump says the federal government can’t take care of daycare, Medicaid or Medicare. Why? Because they only have one priority. “We have to take care of one thing…. Military protection”. There’s always money for war and destruction. Never forget it.
Women dressed as Handmaids march at No Kings in Nashville while holding signs of the men named in the Epstein Files. We won’t forget. We won’t rest until every file is released and every pedophile predator is prosecuted.
Look at this No Kings crowd in the Twin Cities! Minnesota has not forgotten what Trump did to them. They’ve not forgotten Renee Good and Alex Pretti. They’ve not forgotten the regime cutting off social supports and Medicaid funding. We won’t forget either.
“Guys wearing masks. Beating people, shooting them in cold blood in the United States… without consequence? Bill Nye explains why he’s protesting at a No Kings event. Because we don’t accept tyranny. We don’t accept the government murdering people. We don’t accept fascism.
A male nurse made a suggestive video about putting catheters into “Gen Z female patients”. Gen Z starts at 14 years old. He’s licking his lips over putting catheters into children. He’s playing a song about “opening your p*ssy wide”. This is a predator. He’s allegedly lost his job!
This is ableism at its most vile. A President saying someone is “dumb” for having learning disabilities. Saying a disabled person should never be allowed to be President. This is why disabled people hide. This is why they don’t disclose that they’re disabled.
Zahid Chaudhry is a disabled US veteran who ended up in a wheelchair after being injured training to deploy to Iraq. He lost his health for America. He risked his life for America. ICE threw him in a camp anyways. Held him for 124 days. Fascism & eugenics are always linked.
A 41 year old man and father of 6 was taken into ICE custody. He fought alongside America. He received numerous medals and commendations. He died 24 hours after they grabbed him. A healthy, 41 year old man should not die immediately after being thrown in an ICE camp.
This is state sponsored media. You can’t criticize Trump, ICE or the war in Iran. They sued ABC & Stephanopoulus. They cancelled Colbert. They tried to cancel Kimmel. CBS bent a knee. More will follow. If you’re not alarmed you’re not paying attention.
Tens of thousands of people in Cuba are unable to get the necessary medical care they need because of Trump’s oil blockade. Little children are waiting indefinitely for surgeries. People are suffering unnecessarily. It’s a genocide.
The Premier of Manitoba, Canada says what everyone is thinking… there’s no reason for the war in Iran unless its to bury the Epstein files. Children are being killed to distract from them being raped. We won’t forget. We won’t stop demanding transparency & accountability.
Pro gun “activists” are at the Virginia state legislature protesting a bill banning the sale of AR 15 magazines They handed a 30 round magazine to a child This is not normal No one needs assault rifles There’s a reason you have more gun deaths & mass shootings than any other developed country
ICE uses children as bait. They did it with little Liam Ramos, the boy in the blue bunny hat. He ended up being detained in a camp until public pressure got him released. This 14 year old girl was taken & transported across state lines. It’s kidnapping.
This woman has been in America for over 5 decades. She came to the US as a toddler after being adopted by a US Air Force officer. The regime wants to deport her to Iran. A country they’re intent on destroying. They want to send her to her death.
