.@cloudylilbaby Social worker came to home of her parents. Asked so what happens to people who don't have people in their life who can be back-up.
Social worker very non-nonchalantly said: Oh well then we would just put you in a home. #DisabilityFilibuster

.@cloudylilbaby is studying political science and English.
Used to want to be a politician because she wanted to do things to address injustice and create positive change. Said she has since learned those are not the people who do that. It's grassroots community activists.

Tracy Odell says she's glad to hear @cloudylilbaby say she wants to get into journalism because we have such a need for disabled journalists and the two are discussing examples such as framing of #BillC7 and Tracy Latimer.
.@cloudylilbaby Tracy Latimer was living the life of a disabled girl. She didn't want to die. And yet the media coverage was sympathetic to her father who murdered her instead of her.
.@cloudylilbaby high school was an interesting experience. I spent a lot of time convincing teachers to talk to me and not my educational assistant. They would come up and ask what 'she' could do while I was sitting right there. #DisabilityFilibuster
.@cloudylilbaby I don't know if I'd be here today and surviving if it weren't for my crip friends on social media.
