Welp, I've given it over 24 hrs. ALL of my disabilities and chronic conditions that are easily observable without additional sciencey stuff like #bloodwork or #CT or #MRI or #XRay are still OBVIOUSLY active. I am STILL disabled. I am extremely disappointed that the #UCP's decision to put me on #ADAP as of yesterday (July 1, 2026) instead of remaining on #AISH is clearly so arbitrary. They're supposed to be the #MostGenerous* of all the provinces!!!1! (*Their phrasing, not mine. Probably not the words most of us here trying to survive now on what is $200/mo LESS THAN in 2016 would use either 🙄😡) #LegislatedPoverty #PovertyAsPolicy 😳😬🙄😂 #ableg #abpoli #AISH #ADAP #ActuallyDisabled #disabled #disability

Replying to @likelyjanlukas@mstdn.ca
Apologies for digressing somewhat into the weeds: the point is that all of this figuring-stuff-out on an #AISH (provincial #disability pension) that has not risen since 2016, is expensive, time- and (personal)energy-intensive AND are all genuinely monumental accomplishments given my disabilities and lack of functionality in extreme heat. My #mitigations don't even necessarily make things comfortable, they just make it less-likely I'll die from preventable consquences of #ExtremeHeat. And this point is important, because I HAVE been successful in not-dying (yay! 🙂), but the mitigations are NOT SUFFICIENT for me to live a 'normal life' (my normal, under my normal range of restrictions/challenges) during the #FireSeason and #HeatSeason. IOW, not a lot of extras get done during these extended periods. 10x #chores #housekeeping #management
