The @ThePwdcast has no new episode this week and will have to go into a short hiatus as @ODSPoor (Creator/Host/Editor) has to focus on himself.
Advocating from within the oppression is exhausting, punishing and destructive to the self. We will return after rehumanization/rest.

All this spotlight on UCP social murder of ADAP recipients, but this is happening nation-wide. In #Ontario we lost Erin, who was on ODSP, facing eviction, and literally losing herselfmin realmtime online here: @veganlovebunny.
She begged her Mayor in Ottawa for help, she begged the courts, the premier, the prime minister... Everyone failed her.
This is happening daily, and most of the life endings are not being attribute to social murder.
You are forcing us in slums, onto the freezing or burning streets, you feed us slop while you waste so much food, you vilify then homeless and addicted like it could never be you...
Wake up call, anyone can become disabled, injured at work, mentally ill, homeless or addicted.
Social murder, democide and eugenics are rampant in #Canada and have been for hundreds of years, ask the colonized Indigenous population. Ask the buffalo. Ask our oil sands. Turtle Island has been raped and pillaged and when our bodies aren't enough, soon the forever hungry machine of capitalism, war, and environmental destruction will come for YOU.

@veganlovebunny or Erin was an outspoken advocate for her own life right up until taking it herself while facing eviction, targeted online harassment, and worsening physical and mental health.
Her passing was the direct result of underfunding, vilification and ignorance on the behalf of #Ottawa, #Ontario and #Canada. She begged for help and no one came, and when she passed her elderly cat was automatically put down and an entire household was gone.
This isn't unique, there are thousands of stories like hers and it could be your story soon too, anyone can be disabled, anyone can be cornered but everyone deserves compassion.
Where is your compassion #Canada?

Please help @Jewels4203's daughter, her mother who we knew owned the account has passed and she is trying to relocate to her father's house with mom's dogs and luggage.
Jewels was a fellow advocate friend of mine, and we lost her just a very short time ago, she fought as long as she could and we need to help get her daughter on the way, it's what Jewels would have wanted.

TPS OWN POLICY.
And if the argument is the officers couldn't see the driver, or into the vehicle clearly, that's... worse.

Living with a disability is tough, and I’m struggling to get by right now. I am respectfully asking for any donations to help me through this month. If you can’t give, a quick retweet helps so much. Thank you for your compassion and support. ❤️
Still seeking assistance with wishlist help and groceries for the last two weeks of June & 2 bills, one for $50, one for just under $200. My deepest gratitude to anyone wishing to help 🙏
