linda sepp @lindasepp.bsky.social · 10/09/2026What kind of practical support is there for disabled people who can't work, so have been legislated into deep poverty, and can't afford rent, food, medical needs, assistance, etc to live in dignity, all while Track 2 MAiD is made easily accessible? 000

linda sepp @lindasepp.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Many brands of organic dry goods changed their packaging around the beginning of, or just before covid started, & I could no longer eat those foods. It was (still is) really hard to find packaged foods that are safe for me to eat (as a human canary). Regulations are too far behind the times. 000
linda sepp @lindasepp.bsky.social · 06/09/2026How exactly are we a caring community when you keep using ableist language to describe bad people & bad actions, when ableist language dehumanizes & harms actually disabled people? I had to turn off the discussion when you both laughed & laughed at your ableist takes. So disappointing. 100
linda sepp @lindasepp.bsky.social · 23/08/2026It's so frikkin ableist... Ableist language gets disabled people killed by reducing them to non-human/sub-human status. 000
linda sepp @lindasepp.bsky.social · 23/08/2026Many #HumanCanaries, people with chemical/environmental "sensitivities", can detect all kinds of hazardous ingredients/pollutants when they're not on any labels... Glad to see science catching up a bit... 010

linda sepp @lindasepp.bsky.social · 31/03/2026I wonder about the threads, if during breakdown they could entrap or cut off circulation for little beings. Maybe more a concern with synthetics and hair that doesn't break, but some cotton is pretty strong too. 100
linda sepp @lindasepp.bsky.social · 31/03/2026Some burlap was used near me last year, & it smelled like it had been dipped in petroleum or something! If you can use well washed (with fragrance-free bio detergent) cotton sheets, they could be useful, altho if you are sensitive to moulds, there could be issues, but also so with leaf mulch. 200
linda sepp @lindasepp.bsky.social · 31/03/2026"Normal" had left a lot of people under the bus. Disabled people are still being left under the bus by everyone. I wish people would start examining ableism, & stop using ableist language, as it harms everyone, not just disabled people. 000
