The 'Times' put out a toxic atricle attacking disabled women over using mobility aids, claiming its for attention, the illnesses are a trend, & more ugly claims. This petition aims to get the Times to edit the article, educate the writer www.change.org/p/demand-acc... #disability #disabilitybias

@openmedia.org just sent the Bill c's 22 campaign to my MP. But I copy pasted it cuz it didn't want to put my address in. I wanted to be on your mailing list but you're asking for my postal code which I do not want to include. Gentle suggestion, to be on a mailing list a postal code is not necessary

The Sick Times @thesicktimes.org · 23/03/2026

Republished from @thecanaryuk.bsky.social: Marcia Doherty (@madelinenerd.bsky.social) is a 45-years long Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) patient fighting to survive in Canada. She writes about the Herculean effort it takes day by day for her to simply survive. bit.ly/41mRJeB

The image is a selfie of Marcia Doherty, a woman who sits in a medical bed in a medical facility. She wears a blue and white striped hat, stylish tan glasses, an white N95 mask, and a white and black t-shirt. The text reads, “The Sick Times. Marcia: Life with severe ME is like screaming into the void. By Marcia Doherty.”

Hope is tricky business. On the one hand it keeps me alive, it fuels my tenacity, it helps me take a deep breath and do my best to understand other people’s perspective so I can better build communication bridges.

But begging for my life on the internet, staying alive month to month on donations from strangers, attempting to get a foothold of logic in policies and ways of thinking that are entrenched in illogical bias: these rob hope of its strength. And when you’re approved for Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) on quality of life, despair is an easy thing to teeter into.

Really good constituency appt with my MP(feds) this morn. Surprising cuz his predecessor blew me off. This guy gets it. So being hopeful after the meeting got a much better response than I thought i would get was actually super disconcerting #Canada #canpoli #myalgicE #longcovid
