I've been offline for a few days because Mom's ascites flared up again. She's had a rough few days. Her first appointment at cancer clinic this past Monday was canceled because oncologist was sick - we're waiting for rebooking. She's back on lactulose & a couple of meds for her ascites. Today is first day since her ascites flare up that I'm able to get more than 4 hours of sleep/rest time. We still need mutual aid help to get us through this Winter. Please donate to my family via my mutual aid links in profile or via etransfer ( quebanhincedar@gmail.com ). We need funds to get more logs/candles for lower budget Winter heating, pay remainder of municipal services bill, replace one tire on only drivable family vehicle & for Mom's ongoing special dietary needs. #LiverCancer #Cancer #Caregivers #PrayersForMom #LivingWithCancer #FuckCancer #HelpNeeded #PeopleWithDisabilities #DisabledCaregivers

#PeopleWithDisabilities Yet, people with disabilities are two to four times more likely to die or be injured in climate-related emergencies such as heat waves, flooding and storms. People with psychosocial disabilities such as severe depression, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or post-traumatic stress disorder are three times more likely to die during heat waves https://phys.org/news/2026-06-ways-climate-action-inclusive-billion.html #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate
