Right now working works for me. Thinking about my potential near future . It’s not a bad guess to say ‘I have brain damage. Futures could see degradation in my standards for living.” I have pushed myself too much and I could live to see a future with regrets.
Canada’s Disability entitlements are failing or non-existent in certain provinces. For the longest time, I have been under the impression I would cope with this. Through forced attempts at trying to work. After years, I am finally going to say? We still need a Disability system that will help adults thrive, even if working isn’t realistically an option for them.
Working has strained me. Strained my relationships and all because, for a time, I couldn’t just say. ‘It’s not realistic for me to work currently. Therefore, I am choosing not to work.”
There were economic needs at play…
Bad work experiences I have voiced:
Others include:
Belwood Lodge & Camp James Lortie, attempting to pass liability to a CPR AED trained junior Counselor, who I will repeat ‘Was not qualified to care for disabled adults.”
I have a lot of dehumanizing work experiences. Is it fair to say? Maybe I should just pack it up, stay home for a while, and attempt to regulate my difficult nervous system. Well, I finally have a conclusion to voice.

This is why I am coming out to say? I support Marit Stiles idea to double ODSP supports. Work is not welfare, and I have had a lot of issues with the nature of the work I have done. To the point where I tell old bosses. Don’t worry about Professional? My ‘I fucking hate you!” Public on a WordPress.com Blog is purely personal, and I mean it. The fact work relationships are forced relationships outside a humane disability system. Is not lost on me.
Why should I be happy with them? Why should I be happy with most or almost all of my working experience? This is my summary of working at 32. Every employer exploits you to the max, there is no work/life balanace and I get home without the basic energy to care for myself. I am unhappy with how life has gone! I am hostile to opposing forces around me, which include family of different opinions as well as opposition in the community of Belleville, Ontario. Which is what for the Love of Belleville is about. This hasn’t gone well for me. I would like to see change or be aggressively hostile, and that is what I am committing to.
I mention medical assistance in dying because the fact is this. You will have a lot more medical-induced deaths? If you don’t make staying at home and collecting disability an option. To use a family psychology reference? The dependence we are asking workers to place on employers? Through work is welfare logic. Is the same as saying ‘You have no right to prosper unless you face maximum exploitation?” Why would I stand up with pride for the Country or province, or family, communicating this point? MAID is the turning point for me, where my country said, ‘If you don’t like the rules of the game? Die then for us!” To which I said no volunteer for death here. However, I will gladly fight back!
This is the image I made as the featured image of this post, and here is why. If I have to do this kind of thing, just get by with my basic job? Then the job is not basic. Therefore, it doesn’t require a basic wage. I should not be getting gouged, and with how I am booked for work? The Job fails to meet the reasonable threshold for the provided supplementary income with Disability. Well, going over the top with physical exploitation. If it wasn’t for weed? I couldn’t do my unspecified work.
I should hate you if you oppose my politics.
In fact, go one step further. I should be actively hostile to you if you are an adult choosing to be Conservative. I am not interested in your freedoms. Just the fact of allowing for your feel-good participation? Means there is a voter who actively aims to take my rights and entitlements away. I say ‘No!” to that being your right and freedom. I am not interested in your differences to me! Just get out of my way, moron! Please leave the environment where we are forced to share the same oxygen.
It’s not a job accommodating disability if I get blood blisters, damage my neck, or walk out with a visibly sore back. It is a highly exploitative employment. Then add to that. Am I being empowered to have a life? It arrives at the conclusion. I work as an autistic adult with psychosocial hazards, not because I want to. I do it because I have to, and one day there may be negative fallout & repercussions. Especially related to finding ways to go above my maximum stress allowances.
About for the Love Of Belleville and all Ashton Deroy blogging?
It has always been an expression that life should not be this hard for adults with disabilities. However, if it is going to be this hard? Then I am going to meet those around me with Hostility. If I can’t change the world around me? Then I am just going to do my part to make sure if I am not enjoying myself. Others around me should also not be having a good time. That is my conviction. I don’t care about control. Can other people be having a bad time? That would be swell for me. However, my conclusion is that I support doubling ODSP. We have to stop thinking of work as a means for Welfare. Working doesn’t get workers by. Why would it work positively for disabled adults? Also, never think your family is a resource to take over after bad politics. Believe my ex-homeless concussed self. It’s not happening. I have no problem living every day with a ‘I fucking hate you.” Attitude. Believe me, I am an anti-Conservative. Cause I understand who is actively making my life worse. I don’t care about benefits for anyone else not named ‘ME” . Conservatives make sure those never exist in their platform for me. Hence why I am a Democrat.
For The Love of Belleville.
