Kinda done with people who say they're supportive of #PeopleWithDisabilities - saying they support #MarginalizedWomen - saying they're #AntiCapitalist - when their personal actions speak stronger truths about their blatant hypocrisy.

#FOSS folks who claim to hate corporate algorithms crap - yet try to capitalize on their work & being shitheads to folks who say they're behaving like a Jr #Zuckerberg. Maybe, don't be so egotistical, that more than a handful of people who don't know you(nor ever want to know you) are telling you that your Zuckerberg energy is gross as fuck. Maybe stop trying to turn your shit into an IG/TikTok clone & thinking your lying shit doesn't reek as much as Zuckerberg - only because you don't have his funds or else you'd go full Zuckerberg & laugh at everyone here, afterwards. Maybe don't think you're full grown & emotionally mature at mid-30s - when you're not.

I'll tell you all of this - to your faces - cowards.

Horticulture Centre of the Pacific is one of my fave local places to visit & get healthy plants from. I've been going there for 30+ years.

*Almost all pathways are wheelchair accessible.

I'm one disabled woman, with 2 hoes, 2 shovels & 4 bags of alternative covercrop seeds. Determined to create more backyard spaces to increase our homegrown food security 👩‍🌾
I can do it. Slowly.

Beside the nature house, there's a short trail that leads to the gazebo/outdoor classroom area. It's a nice spot to have a picnic in the shade, when there's not educational programs happening because it has seating & a table.
The #WheelchairPath / #AccessibleTrail is on the left. The native plant garden trail is on the right (not an accessible trail for wheelchair users). You can see plenty of native plants & trees along the accessible trail though.

Jada sent me this photo. She wanted to take a picture of me to show her Aunt/rest of family on the rez. I have gifted those fun rhinestones sunglasses to her Auntie, who has been feeling depressed/bummed out.

If your form of anarchy excludes #PeopleWithDisabilities - I'd say you're not really an #anarchist at all.

#AntiAbleism

I took my #orthotics off.
I wear 2 long leg braces, daily. It gets super hot, with them on, when it's very hot out.

I am confirmed for first sailing session of 2026 season with #AbleSailVictoria - May 6th! ⛵️
Able Sail Victoria is part of Able Sail Canada - nonprofit organization that offers subsidized #AdaptiveSailing for #PeopleWithDisabilities.
I missed almost all of 2025 season & keen to get on the waters more often, this season.

This year, I'll be learning more on the Sonar since I'm already very familiar with the Martin 16 sailboats. I'll also be sailing out of Sidney North Saanich Yacht Club more often. I only sailed out of RVYC Cadboro Bay area in past couple of years with Able Sail program. I also signed up for their new subsidized CANSAIL certification program, in August. That program will be run out of RVYC only. I want to get certification to be able to compete in a future Mobility Cup regatta 😀

Also: Able Sail Victoria is getting behind the movement afoot to bring the #MobilityCup to the West Coast in 2027! #VictoriaBC has hosted the event at the Canadian Forces Sailing Association’s marina in the past and hopefully, this or another venue will be available to us in the near future!

@avilewis Any politician who truly cares about wellbeing of all citizens, not just the lives of privileged people, would spearhead much better, preventative public health policies. A sustainable workforce, requires a strong rather healthy population. How every political party/politician here has normalized getting infected with covid multiple times - when that's preventable - is not true leadership. Long covid disabilities have hampered a lot of prior workforce & is continuing to strip more people from workforce. Not a single political party has any idea on how to deal with increasing funds needed to help newly disabled folks - who are unable to keep working with their long covid issues & with other medical issues triggered by covid infections like TB, Lyme disease, neurological dysfunctions & multiple organs damages - to name but a few that has been directly attributed to covid infections.

Will you wait until you or someone you deeply love to die or become disabled from covid, before you step up to lead by example? You'd be the first & millions of us would support you with leading better, by living example & demonstrating your words are not empty but you actually do care about disabled folks & every citizen, even most of you who normalized covid - when it should've never been normalized.

@avilewis I wish you had worn an N95 mask to show all #PeopleWithDisabilities that you care more than other politicians about #DisabledLives & are against #eugenics in #PublicHealth policies. We have been failed by every single political party in Canada & are treated like none of our lives matter to any of you politicians.
