Hi, BlueSky. It's Hillary. I've joined up here to help get the word out about an important election in Wisconsin tomorrow, and other ways to defend our democracy against those who think votes can be bought.

Nope. You own this. You choose a racist, ableist Nazi takeover of your country. Knowing this would happen. Sometimes the lesser of two evils saves millions of lives. And once the Dems were in ramp up the protests for Palestine. This way you’ve destroyed USA and Palestine. Well done.

Yeah. Instead they allowed Trump who had a whole dossier called 2025 win. Which is Hitler level evil. Elon now has access to worldwide security info. And Nukes. But hey. It’s all fine. They showed the Dems.

No. As a citizen of another country, by being ridiculous wankers over one policy position, you’ve put the whole world at risk. You’ve turned your country into a dictatorship. Allowing an unvetted person access to all information the USA holds. And Palestine is being ethnically cleansed anyway.

The United States of America started as a penal colony. Even though they don’t like to admit that history. Here in Australia, we’re kinda proud of it.

So. Mexicans in USA - bad. Refugees in USA bad. Stealing the land (again) from the Palestinians after a genocidal war and makes millions of people refugees. Nothing to see here.

You need in person action as well. Sit ins. Stop work at the Musk companies. Stop buying anything from their companies. Including Zuckerberg and Besos. Cancel starlink, cause he is stealing your data.

Yeah. Too late for me too. We love USA, got married there. But I’m pretty sure I’m on a watchlist for calling Trump unsavoury names on Twitter last time he was in.

To prevent me from doom scrolling I’m working on this lovely jumper from Tin Can Knits, Love Note. In a Les Garçons yarn, lavender tea. Just saw on the label it’s jointly Canadian and UK made. Go 🇨🇦 🍁. 🥰🥰
A light lavender lofty yarn knitted yoke of a jumper. A blue stitch runs through in the left hand side with visible blue and silver stitch markers on the right hand side. The knitting sits on a white pillow with a diamond motif.

Of all the marginalised groups to start with, the Trans community is the worst. They already have highest risk of suicide, sexual assault, poor healthcare. So sure. Let’s throw people just trying to live their best lives under the bus. It’s fucking atrocious.

People kept telling me I was being overly dramatic. And I don’t even live in America. However the leader of our opposition has been partying with Trump and already started a shadow DOGE portfolio. Australia is in for some tough times.

It’s been 20 years since I finished my Masters in this stuff and I don’t have access to the journals any more. But look at Vocational Rehab research. Heaps of great info/resources around this. These arguments were honed from 20 years working in the industry.

Robust reasonable adjustment systems help with an ageing workforce to keep knowledge within the business. Things can happen at any time to disable us. It also opens up your employment pool to highly qualified people you might overlook otherwise.

The addition of quiet spaces for neurodiverse employees are often also used by non disabled workers. Especially in times where they need to focus or they need confidentiality in the task they’re completing.

Built environment changes like lifts, toilets etc mean that people with injuries can enter the building. Assist the elderly, parents with prams etc. not just people who use wheelchairs.

Having employees work to their strengths improves morale and productivity. By slightly modifying a job for a PWD, you often find other employees benefit as well.

ImLisby @imlisby.bsky.social · 02/02/2025
I like using strong examples. Yes, working from home helps everyone. Parents can use it to help work around child care, workers can use it to make sure they can access regular medical appointments. It benefits the whole workplace, not just PWD.

If you become permanently blind via glaucoma of course you’re disabled. Because it’s a likely to last more than 6 months. And no medical treatment can fix that. Wearing glasses or surgery.

Yes. Anti-discrimination. That doesn’t mean all people captured by that Act are Disabled. You can be discriminated against for disability and illness, hence why the Act covers both.

@albomp.bsky.social can I ask what sanctions and tariffs Australia is planning for the actions of Trump and Elon Musk? They are systematically dismantling democracy in one of our closest allies and starting a trade war with another. We cannot trust them with our national security.

Cutting benefits doesn’t fix the issue with employment. Lack of access to reasonable adjustments. Sterotypes from employers limiting opportunities. You know. That sort of thing.

people with disabilities and work. When you throw medical conditions into the mix with disability it gives the skewed view that people with disabilities are sick. We are not. australiandisabilitynetwork.org.au/resources/di...

Migraine is a medical condition not a disability. Under no definition of disability does it fit. Autoimmune conditions and ME/CFS are generally also determined to be medical conditions, not a disability. Except in the most very extreme of cases. However they are not included in studies of

FO stage of FAFO is more terrifying that I had thought. Elon has never had any scruples. He is not a vetted or elected official. He has stated and won a coup for USA. Trump is his puppet. If even WAPO is concerned that says something. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
