“I don’t want MY taxes supporting disabled people! Let them fend for themselves!”

Many can’t. They can’t work, they can’t get out of bed, they’re completely dependent on caregivers for survival.

Are you saying it’s ok to let them die? Rather than provide social supports?

What a legacy of joy!

“If you were that sick you would be dead.”

“If it were that bad you would get help.”

“If you can post on social media you’re fine”.

Disabled people are constantly subjected to “if” statements from people who have no concept how bad it can get & how little help is available

Anthony would rather move on instead of acknowledging his past mistakes. He didn’t even send the invitation, his wife did.

It pains me to see parents who would do this to their own children. A lifetime of missed precious moments all because they didn’t want to admit they were wrong.

I've noticed a huge increase in AI images being used by public schools. This is setting a bad example for our children.

Ultra-racist residential school denialist OneBC leader Dallas Brodie just introduced a bill to remove Truth and Reconciliation Day as a holiday in BC:

"We have no regrets, nothing to reconcile for, and no apologies to give — because we did nothing wrong."

Why is it that Tubi has more accurate captions for National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation compared to all home video releases? The home video editions never indicated Clark’s lisp as they were about to cut down their Christmas tree. It explains Ellen’s reaction, a detail I never understood until now.

Alice Wong helped me accept my disabilities.

She taught me there’s no social justice without disability justice.

She encouraged me to start The Disabled Ginger and was a friend & mentor.

She won’t be forgotten.

Don’t let the bastards grind you down:

Thank You Alice Wong
Alice Wong has passed away and the disability community has lost a leader. I lost a mentor and a friend. The Disabled Ginger wouldn't exist without Alice and everything she taught me.

I get really fucking annoyed when I see Canadian healthcare apologia by virtue of the fact we aren't as horrible as the US.

Approximately 3 to 5 Canadians died *today* because they couldn't afford their medications.

Would be nice if Nintendo would take accessibility seriously. Their games are notoriously inaccessible to disabled people. They never caption their YouTube videos, you have to rely on auto-captions, which aren't always great.
