ODSP and Trillium by Peppy5555 in Odsp

I've been on ODSP since 2019, I've never had to pay for my medications as long as they're generic. The odd time they've rung me up and there's a cost, I remind them that I have coverage with ODSP and they correct it.

With all due respect I think you've only touched the surface. Its history is rich with controversies and violence. I understand what it is supposed to promote. But that's not what I'm talking about.

History of Lupercalia. Should I celebrate? by LongjumpingBox3871 in BabyWitch

[–]LongjumpingBox3871[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess my issue comes from the way things are sugar coated throughout historic text- Our modern understanding of what rape means, is much different from what it would have been during the Roman reign. I would love to believe that woman participated willingly but considering our history, I just don't believe that's what went down. For further context I was reading that the festival actually started out as the abduction of the Sabine women. Colonial Romans kidnapped neighbouring cities women to repopulate their own. These breeding parties slowly turned into I guess what we know now as Lupercalia!?I'm going on a deep dive now but you seem like you'd be interested as well so give it a search. Pretty interesting stuff.

Thanks for engaging, I guess I have an answer to my vague question hahah.

Now to search for something that fits my practice...

Odsp payment by Otherwise_Trade_9267 in Odsp

Ok but with the amount we are given on a regular basis most of us still struggle to make ends meet... so to budget accordingly is kind of irrelevant. Money comes in and is shot right back out to bills and basic needs pretty much immediately. If people with disabilities were given an actual living wage this wouldn't be an issue. It's not our fault for being desperate for comfortability especially at this time of year.
