🚨 I urgently need your help.
I only need $40 to buy my chronic illness medication, and $100 more for essential medical tests (CBC, CD4, TSH, Cortisol, HbA1c, and kidney & liver function tests).
Every delay puts my health at greater risk. If you can help or even share my campaign, you could make a life-saving difference.
Thank you for standing with me. 💔🙏

CW: Massachusetts: Stop denying transgender patients gender-affirming healthcare!!
Please sign this petition!
Fedizens! Hello!
In the process of
*working on a petition to get a 🏳️⚧️ woman's death investigated
*being denied GAC as MA DMH patient myself and
* continuing to network with various law and legal groups I've come across a horrible truth:
⚠️MA Dept of Mental Health has no policies in place to ensure gender-diverse patients receive gender-affirming care!⚠️
This is shocking when considering that
👉🏼MA's Dept of Corrections already have policies and procedures in place👈🏿 to ensure inmates receive life-saving gender-affirming care!
We have law and policy makers and legal advocacy groups expressing interest! However, let’s sign this petition to ensure the job gets done! You know what to do!
https://action.allout.org/en/m/68f59987
Please *sign* (regardless of location), share and 🚀 BOOST🚀
🏳️⚧️✊🏾🏳️🌈

Time for my annual PSA for #Video Creators:
*Subtitles Are Vital*
Also, plan on them going Over your video
When you put important info at the bottom of the screen I have to pause, turn off subtitles, rewind, play it to see the info, pause, & turn subtitles back on- unless I miss it entirely because the subtitles hide it!

Ten years ago today, on Nov 27, 2013, my life and @[email protected]'s were changed forever. Teresa was taken out for a nice breakfast -- and then put into a nursing home (with no medical need to be there and against her wishes).
Read the rollercoaster story: "Freeing Teresa: A True Story about My Sister and Me" https://a.co/d/cZgr0Lr #memoir #books #disability #forcedcare
I've wanted to tell this true story for 10 years. Today, my book, "Freeing Teresa," is live in print and as an e-book. 🙌 Please help me spread the word!
Advance praise:
“A courageous, personal account of fighting the system—and family— to free Teresa from #forcedcare.” Alanna Hendren, Executive Director, Developmental Disabilities Association

TLDR:
If you got a lump sum cumulative payment from CPP-D
Contact your MP (this is the only way, though you can try yourself to get this T1198 form filled out by Service Canada) & an accountant to ensure you get the taxes you paid back-distributed over those years & very likely a lot of $$ will be returned to you.
They don't tell you this & are not informed & fed is stealing millions from disabled yearly.

CPP-D is stealing many billions of dollars from disabled people through denial of services they are legally responsible for & through complete service incompetence or willful fraud are robbing the poorest & most tired.
There needs to be an investigation but also a class action.
Most #disabled don't even KNOW of the theft they experienced, because they are not informed of their rights...

05-27: What #Music Genre Best Fits #WIP?
The series title says it all: Heavy Metal. (Okay, technically #80s hair/glam metal, because only those wild guitar solos on vinyl hit the right frequencies to charge the sonic batteries in the heroine's faulty bionic parts.) All the chapter titles are song titles, and the characters sometimes make lyrical references.
Why the heck did I weave that stuff into a #SciFi novel?
Partly homage: the story explores themes of #disability drawn from my own and my sister's experiences, and #rock music helps us both cope.
But mostly just because it's fun. #Cyberpunk too often wallows in bleak, gritty nihilism. I wanted to twist the genre's characteristic 80s aesthetics in a quirkier direction.
And so it came to pass that I started writing #books about a cyborg karaoke queen who solves murders.
Being able to not think about #disabled people, being unaffected by all of this “inconvenience,” is a privilege.

#Introduction
Howdy! I'm Heather from Texas. I am a Ph.D. candidate. I am currently writing my dissertation on disability studies in education and working part-time for the university. I have two young adult daughters, a Great Pyrenees, and a shorthair tabby cat with socks and mittens. I dream about living in a place with robust public transportation. I like to follow people who post about #scifi #fantasy #art #politics #books #disability #education
Okay, so I've seen some people have these hashtag posts that they put up to meet new people here, and to give people an idea of what they're into beyond the obvious:
