If you're listening to "Alice's Restaurant" today, this is the real Alice Brock, a lifelong artist, who I met in #Provincetown in 2012. A brilliant, spunky, lovely, talented woman eventually forced out of her home studio by predatory real-estate practices. I wish her well.

Youth organization 'ringing the alarm bell' about dire need for #AffordableHousing For a single person receiving $672/mo from #ODSP, "deeply affordable" rent would be about $200/mo. #HousingCrisis #ONpoli Sam Oosterhoff Monte McNaughton @DrFullertonMPP cbc.ca/news/canada/ot…

Here is my annual reminder that if Santa is bringing a games console, Santa might want to plug it in and turn it on and get all the updates done now, in advance, so that it is all ready to go on the big day.

To seriously improve the current #HousingCrisis, policy must tuck itself under, and soundly support our most vulnerable residents first. In ON, we’re currently paying between $6,500 to $7,000 a month per homeless person occupying a shelter. 🤷 #ONpoli maytree.com/publications/a…

Cat sitter sent me this photo last night; much appreciate the updates #CatsOfTwitter #Cat

The reg's for the new #ODSP earnings exemption, coming into effect on Feb 1st, are posted. Apparently it'll only apply to disabled clients in the benefit unit. Abled spouses/partners or adult 'dependents' will stay at the old (current) exemption. #ONpoli ontario.ca/laws/regulatio…

Disabled people kept in a cycle of poverty... by policies that restrict work & threaten benefits. It’s a Catch-22: If they earn “too much” or work “too many hrs” they can become ineligible for benefits. It also impacts housing and relationship options. ottawacitizen.com/opinion/tom-ja…

Today feels like a good day to curl up on the couch with a good book and a cat

i should probably not make hair decisions on only 4 hours of sleep, but hey!

My wonderful friend Mike Rinder has shared some important news on his blog. He has advanced esophageal cancer. Mike is not only friend, but one of my heroes and a big reason I fight to expose Scientology's abuses. Please send him your love and support. mikerindersblog.org/a-new-challeng…

"I’m personally a Holocaust survivor as an infant, I barely survived. My grandparents were killed in Aushwitz and most of my extended family were killed. I became a Zionist; this dream of the Jewish people resurrected in their historical homeland and the barbed wire of Aushwitz

How will the new #CanadaDisabilityBenefit interact with existing disability supports like #ODSP and #CPPD? #cdnpoli @KamalKheraLib Michael Parsa maytree.com/publications/h…
