This one did but I would rather not use a bus bathroom if I can avoid it.
My stomach has mostly been okay this whole trip despite intermittent stress and the one time I had pork. Now that we're back in Canada waiting for a bus back to our city (which will take 2ish hours and has no washroom probably) my stomach is acting up.

Good timing, Crohn's.
Thank youuu! Just landed in TO
*good bathroom design. Over 10 hours into the journey home and I'm not fighting with autocorrect.
Back in Canada waiting for a connection and I already miss Japanese bathrooms because every single one I used had indicators for whether a stall was occupied or not.

Idk that just seems like very basic food bathroom design.
Leaving Japan imminently. Bittersweet. I miss our cats and reliable access to food I can eat (I love Japanese food, but the prevalence of pork alone is like playing minesweeper sometimes). I also do need some time to rest. But I'm hoping to resume streaming this week and talk about the trip a bit.

“Let them go a month without meals. Maybe they will get a job”

First, many SNAP recipients have jobs. They’re just living below the poverty line because of tremendous wealth inequality.

Second, many are disabled and children and can’t work.

Third, no one should starve to death.

The likelihood of dying by bomb or drone is lower now. But materially... not much else has changed. Hardly any jobs. Very few habitable buildings left. Disease rampant and treatment scarce. And a hard winter ahead.
I know that it’s because of the ceasefire but all the donations stopping right when there are actual affordable food in the markets is rough for people

Ruaa needs to raise $1,700 to provide shelter for her family and start rebuilding after the war. She’s a long-time, active member of the Bluesky community who posts regularly about life in Gaza.

Please share and give if you can.

It is difficult to imagine
having to manage without sanitary
towels as a woman
Women in Gaza are denied this
It is causing uterine diseases & infections.
What's more, it is a rather unpopular topic,
fraught with shame
It should not be necessary to have to
ask for them!

Hey folks!
Here is my list of SE alternatives!
I tried my best to cover all of the areas that SE included in their features such as chat overlays, alerts and donations!

Each area lists Pros, Cons and tutorials!

[This is still a work in progress but I will try my best to continue making updates!]

I am live early in the morning on the Fruities Ace Week Train!! We shall chat about asexuality and play some Echoes of Wisdom! www.twitch.tv/tyeewhyee/
In honour of Ace Week (Sun Oct 19 - Sun Oct 25), the Fruities are hosting a week long raid train! I will be featured on Thu Oct 23 at 8am Eastern! We will be playing Echoes of Wisdom and chatting about Asexuality!
People who want to live but need care are so easily seen by many as disposable.

I have a lot to say about this topic, but it's something I need more time and mental energy to discuss carefully in a way this topic deserves. But I will say that no one deserves to be offered MAiD unrequested.
“Sick and elderly Canadians who have refused to end their lives via MAiD have reported being called selfish by their providers”

This is happening in Canada

Disabled people have assisted dying suggested to them when what they need is care

Unsurprisingly, it happens most to those living in poverty
Disabled Canadians increasingly under pressure to opt for euthanasia during routine doctor visits
From LifeSiteNews By Clare Marie Merkowsky Inclusion Canada reported to Parliament that disabled Canadians feeling pressure to choose assisted suicide is a ‘weekly’ occurrence due to MA…

Anyway there have definitely been some hiccups like getting lost on our first day in Tokyo, getting stranded in Hakone briefly, and struggling to find protein that I can eat (which seems easier now that we're out of Tokyo), but overall it's been good! I'm just very tired every night lol
And I find many (locals and foreigners) don't always move or adjust for disabled and elderly folks. Some do, such as a local woman in Tokyo who gave me her seat on the subway, but not everyone. Most people seem pretty focused on getting to their next stop.
Accessibility-wise the hotel we're in seems way more accessible than places even in Canada, such as having a floor selection panel in elevators that runs horizontally along the side of the elevator rather than vertically at the front. That said not everything is fully accessible.
Trying to be a mindful tourist because so many white folks and others here are not and I don't want to add to it. Obviously mistakes happen and there will always be misunderstandings! But I'm a guest here and I want to be respectful.
Over the half way point in our Japan trip. Honestly it's been amazing seeing so many temples, shrines, and different landscapes. I'm really finding that, in general, the big cities/city cores especially are not my thing. Which I expected since crowds are overwhelming to me even back home.
We may have gotten more than job stones
And idk being sat at a completely separate table away from the group just triggers a whole lot of stuff in my brain I guess.
We were told by our agent we could purchase lunch but I think for groups that's an ahead of time thing. There's a nice little shop at the restaurant with snacks though and a cake place nearby.

It's just frustrating because my spouse was left out too.
For example, we just did half of a walking tour up steps and steep hills and neither my spouse nor I have a meal set like the others because I guess they opted to not include a meal instead of finding an alternative??
