Long enough without medication I'm considering MAiD again.
Idk if it's worth living if I have to do this every time I run out.
It's been a month since I've been trying to collect money for it.
I cannot live without my meds.
I don't have much hope for life anymore.
I want out.
Still need help with meds.
It's been over a week without, probably closer to two, but without meds my sense of time gets funny.
Please, I have no other way to get my meds.
Please.

Yes. Peeping to "check" on people's "correct" gender matches the sign on the door.
They're the ones peeping.
They're the ones causing that spike.
I do believe that extreme poverty is a trauma. Prolonged inability to provide and access basic needs for yourself (and possibly children) is a trauma.
It may not be a big T Trauma, but it's absolutely a traumatic experience to not know the next time you'll eat, of have meds.
"No government has put as much into Healthcare as we have"
Excuse me?!!!
YOU MADE EXTENSIVE INAPPROPRIATE CUTS TO HEALTHCARE.
Our health care system is failing BECAUSE of you.

Doug Ford, on his jokes about sending people to animal clinics for MRIs: “all just a little bit of fun” 🤬🤬🤬
This corrupt goon needs to resign. He doesn’t care about anyone but himself and his mega donors.
#odsp
only gives people $495 for rent. If your rent if higher than that, it comes out of your living expenses.
The maximum amount a single person can get is $1,169.
Most places to rent are more than our entire income now.
#ODSPoverty
leaves us with nothing after our day.
@ContraPoints
I agree.
But there are families who couldn't afford it without a sale, or thrift shop (if available to them) or something else.
Most families, even around the poverty line could usually afford few barbies.
But to deny that there ARE people that can't afford it, is kinda naive
Honestly, being on Twitter right now, with the amount of posts I'm seeing advocating for odsp raises, it's actually really triggering me and my anxiety.
It has to happen, but it's also so, so publicly loud that society wants us dead, and/or homeless.
I'm scared that there's

If you had any basic understanding of fitness you would understand why the bmi is actually a horrible way to rate someone's body.
That's all it is.
Is a rating system.
A flawed, and skewed rating system
@AmericaMamabear
@NewEnglandFreez
Because everyone deserves autonomy.
It's their bodies, they also may not want to ask about sex-ed to their parents, but know they can talk about it medically/factually with a doctor.
It's not rocket science.
I'm scared that when they implement the canada disability benefit, it's going to be another 3 year long application process, rather than being able to have like... odsp files sent over if we're already on assistance.
That, or there will be so many more hoops, and disqualifiers.
Harlow needs to go to the vet.
She has a bladder infection and I'm afraid it moved with how cats hide things.
I spoke to 3 local vets and found the lowest price one.
She is basically my ESA and I'm actually going into a panic attack.
I need help please 😭

Below are costs
Bill c22 was not ratified.
Confirmed it will be at least 12mo after royal assent.
We need help.
I can't keep living like this.
Having to rely on the kindness of strangers so I can have toilet paper.
So, my landlord (who's also my friend) stopped by to drop off the salt for the water tank.
She had heard about the tough time, and also brought me 3 bags of groceries!
I wanna cry.
Not going to be any change.
I can't live like this.
This isn't living.
I said it before, I'll say it again.
Having to fight the government and social views, on whether you deserve to live at the same time you're fighting your brain on not committing suicide daily is not easy.
I'm tired.
I'm tired of fighting to survive.
I'm tired of fighting to be seen as human in nearly every aspect of my life.
I'm tired of fighting my own brain day in and day out.
I'm tired of fighting just to stay alive.

do not receive enough for their living needs. Basic needs.
Let alone replacing things around the house that just wear out with time.
When bedsheets are worn thin enough for runs, but can't afford milk, your top priority is going to be milk.

I'm in no way purchasing anything other than fan made content, and not supporting the branding financially anymore.

From my understanding (from a fb article... so not sure) it was because the tenants were speaking up about property maintenance that the LL didn't want to do....
@AHinkle628
I'm glad you advocated, and I'm glad it went well.
About 87% of the time though, you'll be met with being belittled and dismissed.
Honestly? I'm damn near turned away at a 7.
I explained I have Fibro, and deal with chronic pain. I'm at an 8.
Well, it's not a 10 so you're fine.
I want to be dead.
I'm tired of my life medically. I'm tired physically, mentally and emotionally.
It's a bad night. Hell it's a bad few days.
I can't afford to live.
I can't afford to keep food in the house regularly.
I can't always afford my medication.
I can't be alive.
My mind is back to MAiD...
I spent nearly 8 months waiting for this psych appointment.
I only chose to stay alive because I could have help soon...
It turns out there is no help available in Ontario
At all
No psychiatrists are taking patients some not even taking waitlist names

My perspective: I am Canadian, and we went to olive garden for special occasions.
No. Olive garden is not in Canada.
We crosses the damned boarder (which we lived near) just to go to olive garden.

So... as a Transperson, I will wear old merch.
Nothing bought withing the last like..... 8 or 9 years, but still.
I love the universe, and I can't deny the amount it's impacted my life.
I'm not getting "rid" of my stuff, or my NAME.
I'm ftm. My first name is from this series.

You act like people didn't sit around and read newspapers, magazines, books, those things that our phones all do in one tiny thing.
People on busses didn't talk to each other either! They sat, minded their business, read the paper/book/magazine or looked out the window.

It's true.
The were never trans. They were experimenting with their identity and trying to see what fits.
Trans didn't fit. - they just realized a little later than others.
Nothing wrong with that.
But acting like it is an embarrassing phase is wrong.
@CQualtro
My grocery list is now meal replacement shakes, and vitamins.
Because I cannot afford food.
Because of you ignoring what disabled people really need.
Support.
Inclusion in society.
But don't worry, MAIDS here to fix it.
If we get depression from it, we can just off ourselves.

@WholesomeMeme
Sharing a name with a neighbor is perfectly fine.
He probably saw the kid while they were moving in, and he is being so polite and kind in returning a note.
He went to the trouble of translating and writing out this message, just to have that friendly interaction w/ neighbors.
@monnoxide_
I think, maybe, since its both adults, (Belle and her audience) it's not really up to us to choose right or wrong.
Its between two consenting adults, involving no minor at all. Fine. Not my tea, but you do you. Especially if that will keep some preds away from actual minors.
It's the end of the month again, and with
#ODSP
rates what they are (1,169 a month, for absolutely everything, including rent) I'm not left with much left for basics of survival, let alone basics that wear out for your home.

These children have had to experience things that most soldiers haven't had to.
That a miniscule fraction of adults have ever experiences.
All in the course of a month.
These kids deserve better.
I am unending proud of how they stood together, and are working as a community.

@BigTucsonDad
Instead of using "off! Down! You fuck get off that"
Use paws off.
You can then teach them what paws means, and it narrows it down to a simple command.
It will also work as a consistent command when they may only have their front paws on the table to beg.
@GeorgeClark12
@BigTucsonDad
OH!
To reinforce this, simply tap their paws when you are saying it.
Basically annoy them off it, with the command and they'll know you'll do this that they don't like, if they don't to the word.
It's a completely non-violent way of getting your message across. No fear.
I want to say a proper thank you to

I want to say that we see your work. That we remember the petitions, the communication, numerous times standing up in front of a bunch of people, to call them out for their shitty behavior, time and time again.

This. Is. Not. Frustration.

Stop trying to play that off.
You're coming across more apologetic to the business than them by playing down their experience to some silly little emotions.
This is illegal.

If you actually cared there would already be numbers available.
If you actually cared there would be at least an outline for infrastructure.
If you actually cared, this would have been done years ago.

Look into laws regarding confiscation of medical devices.
As well as medical devices and the schools policy regarding theft of medical devices
I'm having another panic attack.
I fucking hate
#ODSPoverty
I can't support myself.
I want to.
I fucking want to.
So badly.
I want to be healthy enough to maintain a work schedule.
I want to be able to agree to do work and be able to actually physically get it done.
Honestly considering dying or just offing myself soon.
I'm so tired, and ashamed, and feel dirty, and like a waste of space having to beg for donations the way I do.
This isn't a life.
I shouldn't only be able to eat if a post gets so many shares, and a kind, well off person

Just an another announcement about how they have an announcement coming for an announcement about their plan.
Our government is legitimately gaslighting us

Because of this lack of training, I've found all the responses from the workers are like canned lines.
There's been a few times where I called in crisis, and instead of talking to me, they told me to call 911.... on three separate occasions.
I stopped calling

Where are we supposed to give this greatly wanted feedback?

@ElyKreimendahl
I always figured sober October was a way to remind people without addictions how to support those with addictions.
Prompting more dry hangouts.
Kinda like going to a vegan restaurant with vegan friends. Show support through actions?
I'm desperately hoping this petition takes off.
I'm at the point of applying for MAID because of forced poverty.
My mental health I'd not reliable enough for me to hold a job, and I have chronic pain issues also stopping me.
It's not a choice.
There's no way out.

It looks like it might need stitches,

Whatever cheapest.

Jen... I'm sorry.
But after all this time, I don't even qualify.

I get no help

"When persons with disabilities have the same opportunities as everyone else, we build stronger communities – and a stronger country."

Exist.
With the

info that got release...
I was hoping to get a service dog when it came in.
Now, not only is it not enough, but I don't qualify.
I'm never going to be able to get that service dog I desperately need.
I'm never going to have the help I need...

"I’m not even sure where I stand on the trans issue anymore but I could never agree with the idea of no-debate."

Stop trying to dance around your prejudices just to make light of what's happening
Honestly, there's a lot of times where I wonder why I bother fighting the suicidal thoughts so hard, when this is the kinda life I live.
#odsp
is leaving me in ruins.
It's making it so I don't want to keep going.
I'm so tired of begging for help in so many ways
@CQualtro
So what are your active plans, and what's your timeline?
Seriously... it's been a week. Where's more info?
Stop patting yourself on the back for something you did LAST YEAR, then AGAIN this year.
Isn't it time for a timeline?
Shouldn't we know what's happening by now?

I GOT MY FIRST DONATION!
I'm so happy!!!
I'm trying to get access to transportation, to help overcome aspects of my agoraphobia, and allow me to function more in society.
I'm so scared.
I'm out of medication, and have been a while.
I need 235 for my meds, odsp doesn't cover them, and I have no other way of getting then than the mutual aid systems on Twitter.
I'm at a loss.
I've put off begging for meds for too long this time.
I hate this.

My old roommate, when visiting her sister in a multi floor apartment complex, got off the elevator on the wrong floor.
She walked into a families apartment while they were having dinner.
All she said was "You're not my sister. Bye!" And ran.
I was able to get home in time for the second reading.
Watched most of it and everyone agreed it was wildly incomplete, and nothing but virtue signaling.
Which is what the disabled community has been saying.
(1/)I know that I've basically to panhandle online to be able to have medications and groceries.
I am eternally grateful for all the help I've received.
If I could ask that you share this, in hopes that it will mean me, and many other people online, will be able to top begging.
⚠️ Trigger warning ⚠️
I am not okay.
#odsp
is pushing me closer and closer to killing myself
