Here's today's column on the astonishing, ongoing mistreatment of people with #ME/CFS. Please spread it far and wide: the only thing which can break the media's wall of indifference is seeing an article about the issue go viral. Thank you. 1/2 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Abandoned, dismissed and gaslighted: there is no excuse for the way ME sufferers have been betrayed | George Monbiot
Changes in guidance and science seem to have little impact on millions of devastated lives. It’s a social crisis playing out behind closed doors, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

I am disabled and very very underemployed ever since I was laid off in November of 2024. If I’m being honest I am losing hope of finding full time employment again. So I am trying to come up with other ways of supporting my family, bit by bit.

Wow. Fucking disgusting. Pierre Poilievre is such a loser, man. Note to everyone: if your rights become politically unpopular, Poilievre will throw you under the bus in a heartbeat, apparently.
Poilievre quote tweets JK Rowling saying « what she said » after JK writes: « Today's ruling by the IOC means a welcome return to fair sport for women and girls, but I'll never forget the scandal of Paris 2024, when people who consider themselves supremely virtuous and progressive publicly cheered on men punching women. »

A few months ago, ICE hired me I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!" My latest for Slate

I *really* wish that someone would explain to right wingers that government debt is not the same as household debt. That our grandchildren will NOT be living in poverty because in 2020 we gave out relief to people who lost their paycheques due to Covid. It's exhausting listening to them yell.

I started watching "Who's the Boss?" on CTV Throwback yesterday. Just an episode here and there. But it's so calming. Sometimes hiding in nostalgia is a form of self-care.

I think one of the worst of the problems with the Ford government is the sheer NUMBER of horrible things they are doing makes it impossible to keep the ire up about anything for very long, because then the next indignity comes along. But I will never not be angry about the Science Centre. #ONpoli

It will never cease to amaze me how people will talk over disabled folks, tell us we’re wrong, infantilize us etc… and yet they can’t realize that in refusing to believe us and give us agency they’re almost always proving our point. We aren’t listened to. We aren’t believed. Ableism is everywhere

Random thought of the day: women seem to - on the whole, individual cases excepted - be more open re bisexuality. Men tend to stubbornly insist they are either gay or straight. I don’t think it’s that there are fewer bi men. But I wonder if it’s just indicative of overall black and white thinking?

Brian Wilson, visionary creative spirit for the Beach Boys, dies aged 82
Musician, who suffered from mental health problems, wrote and produced the 1966 album Pet Sounds – seen by many as the greatest album of all time

It's somewhat miraculous that Brian Wilson managed to live as long as he did, given everything, but it's still a loss to his family, and a great loss to music. His talent was truly a gift for the ages, and I hope he managed to find peace in his later years.

"Like watching the dead-beat dad next door and his POS son - who have been openly threatening you and your family for months - start whaling on each other in their own driveway," say Canadians. "So yeah, keep it up eh. Smack the shit out of each other. Fuckin' boneheads."

If you think job searching is tough these days, try job searching while requesting reasonable accommodation for disability. I am so disheartened. I am still me, the same person I have always been, and I am DAMNED good at what I do. But as soon as I ask for accommodation... *POOF* ghosted.

The failure to protect farmland now threatens Ontario’s food sovereignty and our $50 Billion food and farming economy that employs 875,000 people. We're losing too much farmland too quickly. It's time to establish a Foodbelt to protect Ontario's farmland. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

2 MPPs have proposed an Ontario foodbelt. Could it help tariff-proof the ag sector? | CBC News
Two MPPs have proposed Ontario create a foodbelt of protected farmland. Two former Markham councillors pitched the same idea in 2009 for their area and say it's time the province takes action.

Thinking about the fact we say a corpse has more rights than a woman in some states because you can’t harvest organs without consent but you can force a woman to give birth. But with the case in Georgia… we need to amend. A MALE corpse has more rights than a woman - alive or dead. #AdrianaSmith

What we’re witnessing now is widespread abandonment of disabled and vulnerable people. We’re seeing policies enacted that are designed to harm us. Cuts to services that are necessary for survival. This is eugenics, and it’s been made easier by the normalization of ableism.

When you become disabled or chronically ill, people abandon you. Most people have an internal clock. If you’re not “better” by the time their patience runs out, they disappear. If we can’t trust our loved ones to stick around, what hope do we have with elected officials or the general public?

!!!! NEW: Canada is summoning Israel's ambassador after the IDF shot at four Canadian diplomatic officials in Ramallah earlier today.
Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand tweets:

"I spoke with Canada's Head of Mission in Ramallah earlier today. I can confirm 4 of our personnel were part of the delegation in West Bank when the IDF fired shots in their vicinity. Relieved to know our team is
safe. I have asked my officials to summon Israel's Ambassador to convey Canada's serious concerns. We expect a full investigation and
accountability."
