#TopicTuesday Long Read: Disability Inclusion within Brimbank.
My first question raided at this months council meeting was as follows:
“Brimbank's 2022-2026 Disability Action Plan was released around 4 months ago, yet there is no reference to Neurodivergent people (other than reference to a symbol identifier), let alone any planning to ensure their inclusion in our community. Neurodivergent people should not need to wait until 2026 before their barriers to inclusion in Brimbank events will be considered, so what action is Brimbank City Council taking, to ensure their inclusion is possible at council run events?”
(continued in replies.)

The #Na̱mǥis #FirstNation located in #AlertBay on #BritishColumbia #WestCoast has relied on #salmon as a main #FoodSource for thousands of years.
Salmon are #sacred for #Indigenous people living there, but that #legacy is now #threatened by long-term consequences of #industrial #FishFarms over the last 3 decades.
Namgis are one of several BC native ppls I've worked w/ to #ProtectWildSalmon over many yrs. #WildSalmon are #KeystoneSpecies & are #AtRisk

Covid Update:
If you are an At Risk individual like myself (fibromyalgia, asthma, immunocompromised, and other At Risk qualifiers) the second bivalent Booster is now available at most pharmacies. I signed up for mine last night at Walgreens and got my shot this morning.
ALSO Reminder that take home covid tests are no longer covered by most insurances after May 11th, so stock up on your thirty day allotment pronto before they are all gone from shelves!

I am honoured to have helped raise $300,000 in 2022, to support four First Nations whose traditional lands include the Inland Temperate Rainforest in British Columbia, Canada, the only one in North America and 1 of only 3 inland rainforests in the world.

I'm still on the tail end of my recovery, 7 months of Hell, and I don't recommend it.

Stay. The. Fuck. Home.
Today I’ve spent the day in the office with no less than two people who both said they were a little unwell. Both were adamant that it couldn’t be #Covid. Both tested positive for #Covid19 this evening.
And to tell you the truth with asthma and only 50% lung function it’s making me somewhat anxious. Being #AtRisk sucks.
