It's weird to see so many people openly talk about struggling with #POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome) because I've been dealing with it since I was a kid and had gotten used to having to explain it to everyone including many doctors, nurses, and paramedics (and thereafter having to tolerate most laypeople on top of medical personnel dismissing me as being over anxious hypochondriac). POTS being a "trending topic" and an actual hashtag because of long covid is a real reality shift for me.

The systemic, communal, governmental hatred felt towards trans children and adults is hard to carry today.

Seulement à Montréal est-ce que l'on planterait un arbre qui porte des fruits toxiques pour les chiens dans un parc à chiens. #Montréal

This Canada Post strike is an existential one. Canada Post either treats their workers right, or Canada eventually loses its national postal services in a slow war of austerity that leaves the marginalized, especially in rural communities, in even greater isolation and distress.#CanadaPost #Canada #Labour

Last August, Lynch (who had emphysema) said he might never direct again because of the "let it rip" covid unmitigation strategies adopted by governments everywhere.Wondering how many mourners would willingly, and without prompting, wear a mask around people suffering from Long Covid, respiratory illnesses, or other immune dysfunction, out of respect for their struggle, instead of placing the entire burden on vulnerable disabled people. https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/news/david-lynch-age-movies-emphysema-smoking-b2591296.html#DavidLynch

🇨🇦 I will be keeping my posting about the Canadian federal elections to this thread today, in case you want to follow along/mute. Some articles today that touch upon the federation or the elections: - Separatism is in the Alberta air, as Liberal victory looms from Ricochet: https://ricochet.media/politics/separatism-is-in-the-alberta-air/ (I'll probably follow along with the Ricochet elections livestream at some point today.)- Arshy Mann and Jordan Cornish's last minute commentary on the election: https://hatchetmedia.substack.com/p/and-one-last-thing?utm_source=podcast-email&publication_id=3224756&post_id=162310704&utm_campaign=email-play-on-substack&utm_content=listen_now_button&r=19xef&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email- Strange bedfellows: In Québec, Trump’s threats driving sovereigntists into the arms of the Liberals https://ricochet.media/politics/strange-bedfellows-in-quebec-trump-is-driving-sovereigntists-into-the-arms-of-the-liberals/ #CdnPoli #Canada

This article in the Walrus is really interesting: > Carney likes to jibe, accurately, that his Conservative opponent Pierre Poilievre, as a career politician, has never worked a real job or had to make payroll. But it’s worth asking how many livelihoods Brookfield destroyed during Carney’s time at the company.The prime minister sells himself as a public servant, but his private sector past reveals his true loyalties: Mark Carney, Cutthroat Capitalist https://thewalrus.ca/mark-carney-cutthroat-capitalist#cdnpoli #Canada #MarkCarney

Question of real interest to me: will this (finally, finally) be the last time I have to hear about Elizabeth May in a Canadian federal election? #cdnpoli #Canada

Is 7 million (a figure I've seen and heard floating around) advanced votes a record for a Canadian federal election? That's roughly 1,5 times the population of Montréal all voting in advance. #cdnpoli #Canada

Does anyone have good readings on the disability framework of autonomy? Basically, what does autonomy look like in a disabled body that has lost or is losing capacity?I'm not sure I'm wording this correctly, I kind of have a very vague notion about what this is in the first place.Updated to add: I have created this list on Mille feuilles with some of the suggested readings in book form in the comments. Thank you so much! https://millefeuilles.cloud/list/97/s/disability-justice-autonomy (However it's worth digging into the replies below anyway, several very interesting articles and online ressources have also been shared!)

There is an infantilization of Greta in some online discussions that really bothers me, and though I am finding I have a weird time trying to explain why I am so bothered, I think it boils to: Neuro-divergent people are not inherently more naive, more innocent, more righteous, or more childlike.
