The AB government has yet to taken action — but I’m not backing down.12 Apr 2025 20:53 +0000at://did:plc:abnsrwndd7qrhs3zmzbbmb4e/app.bsky.feed.post/3lmng35fpck22https://bsky.app/profile/karleia.bsky.social/post/3ljxwld5frk2aAn inaccessible “safe space” is actually just an unsafe space with performative advertising09 Mar 2025 20:59 +0000at://did:plc:abnsrwndd7qrhs3zmzbbmb4e/app.bsky.feed.post/3ljxwld5frk2ahttps://bsky.app/profile/karleia.bsky.social/post/3lcr5ged75k2a“wow, you’re so detail-oriented!” thanks, it’s the trauma08 Dec 2024 02:17 +0000at://did:plc:abnsrwndd7qrhs3zmzbbmb4e/app.bsky.feed.post/3lcr5ged75k2ahttps://bsky.app/profile/karleia.bsky.social/post/3lcbcj6ei3s26If there’s one thing I’ve learned as a Disabled person, it’s how to protect my peace.
