I've received so much assistance these last few days. Please, consider helping someone else in kind if you see this, if you have the means to. So many of us are fighting to survive, so many of us need help & kindness.

The 24ct of mini raviolis is on for just under $37 if anyone can swing that rn. If you'd rather send me the funds, my PP is in my bio.
🙏 Thank you for the continued support.
My roomie has just informed me that a friend of theirs has an
#autistic
brother who lives in assisted living & they're going around to everyone & asking them if they "WANT"
#MAiD
when the people there DON'T know what it is. This place is for people who cannot live on their own.
My surgery is Thursday and I have a major recovery ahead of me (cross your toes for quick healing!).
ANY help truly helps.
♥️🫂 Thank you for any shares, etc.
@BeingCharisBlog
Going to the ER and saying the words "Yeah, I have endometriosis and borderline personality disorder and MS" among my list but that's all they hear and they wanna send me home immediately cause I MUST be imagining WHATEVER I'm experiencing 🙃🙃🙃
Talked to a
#TTC
driver today. Was informed the bus drivers are being told to allow overcrowding. The driver said to take photos of overcrowded buses and post them on social media. The drivers want change, too. The TTC doesn't care about it's drivers or it's customers.
@ttcriders
Next to no good, running out of cat food, almost out of B12 tabs (you know, the thing that keeps me alive?), out of Gatorade, almost out of beverages
I can't handle this stress.
Please someone help.
Also need the $33 to cover my phone bill ASAP before midnight today. PP in bio.
They handed out forms to individuals who didn't have cognitive understanding of anything to do with
#MAiD
and expected them to sign these forms and sentence these people to death.

How does me having a sense of humour and flash sense of memory to a Danny DeVito flick equate to the toxic masculinity you got going on?
Don't use my tweet to bait this into some shit about "men being emasculated". You got some fragile ego,my guy.
Disgusted by Trudeau's comment about "the past eight years" wrt 'helping' our community. $600 that you could only get if you had the DTC, $500 one month that you applied ONLINE for, and a rinse & repeat doubling GST?
Where's the accessibility,
Where's the lift out of poverty?
Despite years of advocacy from the disability community to fast-track the Canada Disability Benefit, this government still hasn't committed to funding it.
That's why, ahead of the federal budget, I shared what I've been hearing from people with disabilities with the PM directly.
Tired of being told I'm strong for still being alive. For having all my ailments and mental illnesses and still being alive. I don't want to be considered strong and brave all the time. I want to be weak, shattered. I want to crumble. Why do I always have to be painted as strong?
This particular place (that I do not know the name of) does, in fact, have people listed in place for instances such as this where their (I'm gonna go with) Guardian/etc comes in and helps them with basic understanding and signing the forms if that's ultimately what they wish.
@kikimonstarrr
Idk why you're getting some of the responses you are (I mean I do, but regardless). Minimum wage isn't enough to live off of. Yeah, it's nice to pay for someone else's drink, etc. But tipping goes a lot further than paying for something that someone in line can already pay for.
@adamfare1996
My mom was abused in her childhood, and first marriage. She didn't know how to broach most, if any, subjects about sex (or anything revolving consent) other than Just Don't Have Sex. School gave me the real tools I needed in the brief sex Ed classes I had (& parenting class,etc).
I'm panicking. How am I still $32 short in my budget. I got the money for cat food 🙏 but somehow I'm still $32 short at the end of the day. I hate this. I hate ODSPoverty. I hate everything. I hate what this puts me through. I'm having an anxiety attack. I'm gonna vomit.
Caryma needs to keep Erin's name & tweets out of her dirty grifter account & mouth. Erin was not, & did not, support her (which is to put it lightly). Caryma retweeting/reposting ANYTHING about Erin is a gross misrepresentation of Erin's feelings towards her. Idc about Cs feefees
People are going to die.
This is BEYOND reckless.
This is guaranteed murder of minorities, vulnerable/disabled, and poor folks. Toronto police are trigger happy, violent, brutal individuals who unequivocally discriminate on these facts alone.
People will assuredly be killed.
Toronto police officers will be stationed in hospital ERs as part of new pilot program.
The one-year pilot program is in partnership with several Toronto hospitals including Toronto Western Hospital, St. Michael’s Hospital, and Humber River Health.
second edit:
Replies are now turned off to public due to inability to understand that I, as stated numerous times, will not divulge personal information and documents that I was not given consent to do. This person wishes for privacy presently while they seek counsel. Thanks.
My internet will be cut off. My CC will be cut. I need someone to care. I need someone to give a shit. But no one does. No one fucking cares. I'm alone in this void and no one cares.
To those saying "It's too hard" & "This is the norm" et al.... You need to wake the f— up to OUR reality. We KNOW it's hard, we KNOW that the policy choices make this 'the norm', we KNOW that we are seen as less than.
You know what doesn't help?
Telling us what we already know.
No one outside the disabled community cares about a death due directly to the system.
We are alone in this fight.
And the sad part is this is history repeating itself and people can't see that.
One day, it will be you.
Woke up from my nap and still wanted to continue sleeping, if we're being honest. Being awake is one of the hardest things to do in moments like this. Keeping on keeping on is the hardest thing to do.
Because when one of us dies,
We all die.
Stay cool and comfortable all summer long with this gorgeous Hawaiian design slip-on canvas shoes. Mens and women's sizes are all available right now at
@WriterArtistEH
All I can say is, for myself, I refused to remove my mask under any circumstances. I didn't care what they said, what I was told, the mask stayed on until I was going into the OR (this will be the same attitude I have Sept 5th for top surgery). Made them mask around me, there /1
being on disability in this province/territory/country under this government(s) is the reality of constantly having to ask for help, feeling the shame & guilt of doing so, and in turn being gaslit and harmed for asking for that assistance.
⚠️ I need help this month with:
$72 - CC / Aug 20th
$33 - phone bill / Aug 22nd
$112 - internet / Aug 15th
total: $217
any & all help is appreciated, truly.
please label any donos "for bills" ♥️🫂
my pp:
Seeing so many people trying to raise funds for housing (rent, arrears, etc — not just these, but everything really) just fkin breaks my heart. I hate we're all stuck here. Fucking hate it. The government treats us worse than yesterday's trash.

@Mikeggibbs
If you look through the replies, I spoke to a constable earlier this evening who saw him this morning & said he was ok & there were no safety concerns. My assumption is that he's taking time to himself right now. But yes, I did first call at 630AM.
@jameelajamil
I think it would be better to reevaluate your position instead of publicly putting down ppl so quickly who are part of the queer community. Especially ppl so young. Especially ppl who are even so much younger when they made the comments they did. Holding ppl on a pedestal is bad.
Opening up my mailbox to find these 😭😭😭 thank you so much to
@holliepollard_
or else I wouldn't have any! My brain is worms or else I'd talk more about how the government sucks at helping us out, but just 😭😭😭 thank you 🙏❤️
People telling me "you don't" (not in a cruel way, necessarily) on that tweet as if that wasn't the point of it. I'm a person living in Ontario on ODSPoverty. Of course I know I don't matter in the eyes of our government.

@JessPected
🎯. If I could have ducked and rolled out of a cab not too long ago, I would have. The driver and I got into a talk about marriage, forget how it came up, and it turned into him talking about how "marriage is a contract" and "sex is part of that contract" 🤮 Tired of this sfm.
If we all deserve a home, why can't people on disability afford any of them (or the future homes that are being built)? Why are there still so many people living on the streets, unable to obtain/secure proper, accessible housing? Will these homes be accessible?
Doubt it.
Every Canadian deserves an affordable place to call home. That is why we are helping build 4 million more homes across the country—including on public lands. We are making the math work for builders to help families to get that new set of keys sooner.
only here to share my awesome shirt(s) before i paid rent today & share some good news: i am receiving generous help with my arrears situation and have taken down my tweets for aid 🩵🩷 thank you to everyone for the love & support & kindness shown
my surgery is four weeks away and i still need so much help with everything down this list. four weeks isn't a lot of time - and i won't deny that i'm feeling pretty depressed & deflated.
i can only say: please help.
i need help.
11 days left before surgery! Would love to get this ordered ASAP. Want them for surgery day & post-op. Thanks for any shares & any and all help 🩵🩷

I made infused chocolates!!!
(with decarbed flower, not oil/butter)
I used Hersheys milk chocolate chips, Prana dark chocolate chunks, two mini After Eight chocolates, and a dab of canola oil
I clearly don't have "proper chocolate molds" so I used the smallest ice cube tray✌️😂
I'm tired of losing people. I'm tired of people getting mad because we're "e-begging"/asking for money online. I'm tired of people not minding their own fucking business if they aren't going to help. I'm tired of people wanting to know my business like they're my doctor or smth.
Please lord help me with this. The AC that was in the living room now isn't working properly either so that leaves me completely without one. It's too hot, I'm too hot, I need help staying cool. Please, I'm begging, please help me 🙏 $26/450

We need so many better supports. We need a stable, secure income. We need stable, secure, actually affordable housing (& accommodating). We need accessible healthcare all around the table. Proper med coverage. Support for animals. Caregiver supports. Recreational supports.
what is wrong with some of you
seriously
saying shite like this to someone with serious suicidal ideation that NEVER goes away is so f—d up. do you know i have it? probably not. but that's kind of the point here.
im well aware how many of you want me to go & off myself, thanks
Idk what else to say
There's no other way to put "I have to go to oncology & would like to keep my f—king housing secure, & would rather d!e than lose my roof & be on the street with my cats, I won't survive" but like, that's where I'm at 🤷♂️
If you can help, info in bio
Hey fun fact -
I, as a trans man, would like you all to know that you are leaving out TRANS MEN from all these discussions going on about femme bodies. It's rather horrifying seeing a lot of the language going around.
Be a better ally, guys.
I have bills & I have a portable AC to fund (again) for. Absolutely tripping over myself internally.
I need $450 to cover a new portable AC + shipping/shipping protection. ANY donations made to my PP will be going to that.
Thank you for any help.
My PP:
$505/1000
thank you for the donation(s) that have come in. thank you so much for helping clear my negative balance, and for continuing to support my efforts to keep the roof above my head
it doesn't matter that i'm 34 today. it matters that i only have $143 out of $2000 for tomorrow. IF YOU CAN PLEASE HELP ME, PLEASE HELP ME. that's what i would like for today.

As a disabled and immunocompromised individual, I cannot forgive nor forget this. I don't think I ever will. This is deeply traumatizing to have my life played with so trivially because privileged folks think their freedoms have been violated. Your view is bang on, Jane 😔
@Mikeggibbs
are to call 911 and use your name (Mike Gibbs) to express if any threats have been made. Otherwise, keep talking to us. We're here for you ❤️ You aren't alone.
@bibicosplays
I'm disabled and poor & have three fur babies that keep me sane. Never let anyone tell you this classist BS. You deserve the best in life. My babies have been my rock and are always there when I'm at my lowest, checking in on me. They are my best friends ❤️
Disappointed to see the lack of interest and representation displayed by politicians in regards to PWD and those on ODSP and OW. Once again, we are left last. They talk of affordable housing, but no solutions for institutionalized poverty governed by their own policy.
I need to pay this by end of day tomorrow to pay it on time for the 20th. That gives me today and tomorrow until 11:59PM. So that's two days ish. Please, help if you can.
Every donation adds up!
Shares help, too. Thank you 🫂
$62 remaining! 🙏♥️

!The cat enclosure has been purchased off my list. Is anyone able to get the litter box? It's $17 for the litter box (and $13 for more litter, if that can be swung). It would be PERFECT to have that done!
🫂♥️ Thank you to the individual who ordered the enclosure!
As someone who just got on the CDCP because I have a DTC, you need a Disability Tax Credit (DTC) to be able to be eligible. It was the whole reason I knew I could even bother when I heard about it — because I'm one of the lucky ones with a DTC.
This is blatant misinformation.

The mental anguish as an adult looking back through your childhood & teenage years going "Wow, how did I NOT know? It was SO OBVIOUS!"
Putting children through ANY kind of "therapy" (as I was) is abusive. Flat out.

Wow, I'm gonna do SO much.
Like give it to my LL.
Or suffer.

We deserve to live a life of our own, with full autonomy. We deserve a life full of love, joy, and happiness. We deserve to know what it is to be safe, secure, and comfortable.
This should not be a tall ask.
Canada is in a recession, mate. We all need to accept it. We need to focus on helping the homeless and those poverty stricken.
Hotels will get filled. People kicked out of parks EVEN MORE aggressively, shooed away from streets and stopped from "loitering" for these 'tourists'.
This is the response we get from housed people when calling out their ignorance. It's unacceptable. When a sports event of this size happens, it displaces untold homeless people. Again and again.
$300 million could have us all housed.
🍀 I could use Gatorade (have none), instant meal food, soda/juice, mouth wash (very low), wet cat food, cat litter, almond milk, chicken broth, or snack food.
✌️😔 Any assistance is, and always will be, appreciated. Thank you for the continued support.
Anyone answering no clearly doesn't remember immunization records and/or hasn't been able to travel somewhere that requires a vaccination of some sort (some cruise lines, countries, etc).
🤡
Thanks for the gifts, you guys! 🥳🎉
Updated my Amazon WL.
Added a couple bday items.
Removed items not needed now, etc.
My bday is in seven (7) days. I added a pair of sunglasses? Because mine broke Friday 😣 (that's what I get for touching things, lol)
Please help me. 4k in debt. Need 1k by Friday as a show of good faith. I need stress relief right now. I just found out today I'm being referred to oncology after they found a tumor on my appendix during the appendectomy (it was removed). Please, help me keep housing secure....😞
⚠️ NEED AT LEAST $1K BY FRIDAY ⚠️

I spoke to the office on the phone today & I need at least $1k by Friday to keep me housed & not have a notice of eviction (through failure to pay) sent up next week.

Don't play the part. No one wants your ableist ass in the role, simple as that. How about actually getting a disabled actor for the part? How about THAT? Cause the physical idea of Giancarlo's presence in an X-Men film simply just does not appeal to me.
Giancarlo Esposito would prefer not to be in a Wheelchair if chosen to play Professor X:
“The physical idea of being in a wheelchair every single day does not appeal to me.”
