I was contacted by an ODSP employment provider in Ontario who asked me to help get a message out about Ford's privatization of our social services and healthcare, so they could be anonymous. It's important and will be a big thread. These are their words: #onpoli
@BitchyKnitter Do shouts of, "Get off my lawn!" work so well in the part of the world of direct expression with sock knitters? Please leave immediately is um not a disclaimer.

Twitter is invaluable to chronically ill, disabled, and neurodivergent folks. Without places like this many of us would not have found answers, diagnosis, support, community, friends.
For some communities, it isn't possible to just up and move to a different platform.

@GermanderCC @ursulasalcove @naogannet It's not hard. I have capacity for this but am at its limit between a fibre club, Patreon, and some newsletters at this time.
@GermanderCC @ursulasalcove @naogannet I know we are not mutuals, so will expand. In the pandemic my email load has increased significantly for things I need to stay on top of as a parent/ main caregiver homeschooling. It is the scene of emotional labour. I don't find newsletters fun.
@GermanderCC @ursulasalcove @naogannet It's not great for my inbox, and I would caution sellers from thinking along those lines. There are many reasons to unsubscribe even if you sign-up. I hate the splintering and limit noise.
@Shawlexa Respect is learning that even in your 1 & 2 the person is able to form and hold valid opinions about their lives. Nobody is defined by your measure of their intellect or mental status. Plus symptoms are just that. 1 & 2 check the ableism. 4 can shift.
