Now seems like a good time to say that this flower amongst the beach rocks reminds me that a difficult life, can be a beautiful life #MS #disabilityawareness #newfoundland
A woman wearing a ball cap, tee shirt and shorts, and using a trekking pole is standing on a beach in a small cove. It’s a wild beach with kelp and wildflowers visible in the foreground, calm ocean behind her, and hills in the background, there are wispy clouds in the sky.A yellow wildflower and some leaves are poking through beach rocks. There is no visible soil.

I'm one of more than 90,000 Canadians living with MS. For over 50 years, the carnation has been a symbol of hope and support for the MS community. Every post shared reminds Canadians affected by MS that an entire community stands behind us. #TakeActionForMS #MultipleSclerosis #MS #MSAwarenessMonth
A photo of 2 red carnations on a blue background. Text reads: May is MS Awareness Month. I'm joining MS Canada's Digital Carnation pinning to #TakeActionForMS.  MS Canada

An annoyed disability advocate reads yet another account of someone “proving” competence or health through displays of physical prowess that are not available to disabled folks. #ableism

Canadian here…NO ONE NEEDS TO DIE IN THE COLD! If individuals don’t have the means to heat their homes, even if they don’t have warm clothing or blankets, or quilts, municipalities or states or the federal government can and should provide warming centres i.e. buildings with heat.

Can confirm that I voted by mail in our last Canadian federal election. Can also confirm from my lived experience as a person with a disability (MS) that I would be much less likely to vote if I was forced to go out to a polling station, and it would be impossible if there’s a lineup. 🇨🇦

MS meme: “Put on a pair of heavy gardening gloves, pick up a pencil, then stab yourself in the arm with it.” I read it & laughed. Today I dropped a pencil on the floor and with my heavy MS hands, managed to pick it up, then stabbed myself in the hand with it. I didn’t laugh.🤬 #ThisIsMS #MS #FUMS

Remembering my great uncle, Private Michael Francis Kennedy, Royal Newfoundland Regiment, one of The First 500 “Blue Puttees, killed in action in the battle of Beaumont Hamel, July 1, 1916. We honour all who served, and those who serve to protect us still. Democracy is a precious thing.
An old black and white portrait photo of a young soldier in uniform in the early 1900’s. He is gazing into the camera and smiling with closed lips. No one in our extended family inherited his shy smile or his slightly protruding ears. He was unmarried and only 22 years old when he was killed in action.

Don’t forget to consider: PMS, perimenopause, menopause, the fact that you’re post menopausal, or that you just need to move more, and/or lose weight.

I wish people would stop fixating on causes and cures for Autism and neurodiversity more broadly. It's time people listen to us, especially Neurodivergent people of color, women and others who are often excluded. Let actually Autistic and Neurodivergent people take the lead. This shouldn't be hard.
