It’s been over a year since it was formally tabled with over 30,000 signatures. The AB government has yet to taken action — but I’m not backing down. 1107
Reposted by Karli Drew ♿️Friends of Medicare @friendsofmedicare.bsky.social · 12/04/2025Albertans who rely on our underfunded home care system aren't getting their care needs met.

Karli Drew ♿️ @karleia.bsky.social · 01/12/2024If there’s one thing I’ve learned as a Disabled person, it’s how to protect my peace. I can’t escape persistent ableism, barriers, or inaccessibility, which means I’ve always reached my stress quota and I’m incapable of tolerating avoidable toxicity. 150

Reposted by Karli Drew ♿️Rachel @rachelneedsanap.bsky.social · 20/11/2024Autism isn’t a disease or an epidemic. It’s not something to fear or to prevent. If “combating autism” seems like a worthy political goal to you, you’re either a eugenicist, or you’ve been deceived by eugenicists. #Autistic 251079290

Reposted by Karli Drew ♿️A @parrykat.bsky.social · 20/11/2024Trans rights & disability justice are linked, not only by disabling consequences of transphobia, but by the unthinkable cruelty of us being forced to advocate at, empathize with, and soothe the people gatekeeping resources for our survival--typically while we experience intense personal danger 16319
Karli Drew ♿️ @karleia.bsky.social · 20/11/2024We have the power to shape this platform into the refuge we want it to be—and it’s important to be cognizant of that moving forward. Avoiding ableist language, using alt text, amplifying Disabled voices, and choosing GIFs mindfully are all small ways to make a big difference for Disabled users. 02310
