CN: DWP I've talked about this before, but as this ad is activating trauma, I want to explain what disabled people live with. More than 15 years ago (yes, before the Tories), all my benefits suddenly stopped. When I called to ask why I was put through to the fraud office. 1/

Colin Farrell out here doing more for post-viral education than the world’s doctors and politicians combined.
"The actor said he plans to lie low while recovering from his second bout with the virus.": "The first time I went out about a week after testing negative and I started running again and I messed myself up and got the long COVID for about six months." parade.com/news/colin-farrel…

Bigger corporate profits account for *over half* of the higher prices people are paying.

If you have never given much thought to the essential importance of a functioning and properly resourced social care system please think for a moment on this tweet…
There are disabled people in this country currently laying in their own urine because their local councils are too underfunded to get a social care worker to help them get out of bed today.

Hey @PassAssistance seems train company accessibility policies and training relating to your app info or your app design needs to be improved here. Perhaps another iteration with a paid Disabled-led steer group or service design practice? Maybe contact @QueerCantHear to resolve.
Hi @PassAssistance train companies have recently told me that "seat transfer" DOESN'T mean transferring to a seat (I was confused), but so staff members are aware assistance is needed into the train with ramp/to wheelchair space. The logo is misleading. Maybe needs looking into?

We pulled it off! We streamed the closing ceremony with audio description. This wouldn't have been possible without @DisabledJess @lilririah @brulafu and @FreakyFwoof who donated their time and skills to make this happen. Thank you so much!

Both chilling & horribly inevitable. We knew this was coming, it’s been carefully engineered by govt underfunding for the last 12 years. Now the convenient “solution” is self-pay. Please *please* fight a pay-to-use “NHS” with all your might, people 🙏💙 theguardian.com/politics/202…

Well this is chilling. The UK government has quietly just removed "sexual and reproductive health and rights" & "bodily autonomy" from a multinational statement committing to the fundamental rights of women & girls. Why exactly? Abortion is a human right. humanists.uk/2022/07/19/abor…

Festival producers & event designers let’s start to hire & work with Disabled folks to scope & create our events eh! Trust me, exploring access will only start an amazing journey of creativity & broaden your markets… no good reason not to #DisabilityPride #UniversalRecognition
