2 Information cards with bold text 'How do you usually use your free time? if this is a question you’d like to respond to via a questionnaire (or meeting), visit the website below.' The second card reads: 'Bread & Roses: The Politics fo Rest and Free time in, against, and beyond disabling capitalism. Research participants needed: UK-based, over the age of 18 self-identifying as being disabled, chronically ill, learning disabled, d/Deaf, neurodivergent, experiencing mental distress, having impairments, or other similar terms'.

I am immensely grateful for everyone's time, energy, and input! After the completion of a few more focus groups, I will take some time to plan the next phase (alongside finishing off the last logistical steps for the publication of the Disabling Capitalism book).

Violence is a feature of the welfare state, not a bug. In No More Deaths by Welfare, China Mills exposes the lethal mechanics of Britain’s social security system that has been weaponised against the very people it claims to support.
Book promotional review graphic set against a solid sky blue background. On the left is a 3D perspective view of the book cover for No More Deaths by Welfare by China Mills, featuring bold black typography over a welfare assessment form design. On the right, white text reads: “An enraging and energising call to action” — Gargi Bhattacharyya, author of Rethinking Racial Capitalism. A small white logo sits in the bottom right corner.

Weekend time ☕️ for @NotesFrom_Below’s lastest issue - Workers’ Inquiry: The Politics of a Method You can subscribe for printed issues or access them digitally: notesfrombelow.org/issues Stay tuned for the issue on work & disability in 2027 (editorial collab b/w Nfb & us at MDN)
Workers’ inquiry: the politics of a method front cover fraturing 4 hands holding a variety of tools and devices

ALT Workers’ inquiry: the politics of a method front cover fraturing 4 hands holding a variety of tools and devices

Back cover of the issue with a hand holding a screwdriver. There is a paragraph about the issue at the top which reads: This issue of Notes from Below focuses on the politics of workers inquiry. For us, it is the method that can begin to lay the foundations for a new practice: beginning with the actual experience of capitalist exploitation in the workplace, but also with the technical knowledge needed to transform society. The aim is to support the emergence of new centres of rank-and-file activity and link these up into a larger movement. This issue reflects on both the politics and the method of putting this into practice.

'What begins as a search for support can gradually become another source of emotional exhaustion. In this way, mental health is not only influenced by what has happened to someone, but shaped by the processes they must navigate to be heard, believed and supported' 👇

The government has announced plans for stronger protections when airlines lose or damage wheelchairs. For a wheelchair user, damaged equipment can mean losing independence, mobility and the ability to carry out everyday activities. Compensation matters. But preventing damage, training staff and holding airlines accountable matter just as much. These are proposed legal changes, not protections already fully in force. #WheelchairUser #AccessibleTravel #DisabilityRights #AirTravel #Accessibility
