⌠Oh. Oh dear.
Did you not read this link first..?
There isnât even a question about supporting trans people.
I donât think your still-entirely-unlinked Reddit research is going to help you much if this is any indication.
There is no demographic, including âsensible middle-aged liberal ladiesâ, that is immune to propaganda.
Whether they sincerely believe their bigotry is important isnât actually relevant to whether it *is*.
Please do write to your MP and ask them to vote against these cuts. âReformâ that impoverishes will never help anyone work, itâll only cause suffering and death.

The âwelfare reform billâ is out and letâs be clear: this is not reform - it is devastating cuts. Disabled people will be made poorer, sicker, and more isolated as a result. That it is a Labour government causing this misery will be a mark of shame on the party for years to come.

Cuts to disability benefits will push 250,000 people into poverty, including 50,000 children. Let that sink in.
Disabled people already experience higher levels of poverty compared to non-disabled people. Cuts to benefits will make this worse âď¸
Itâs entirely unacceptable.
ALT Silhouettes of people depicting the number of people that will be pushed into poverty by benefits cuts. Text says: Cuts to disability benefits will push 250,000 people into poverty. 50,000 of them are children.
Spread the word, attend if you can.

If you want to write to your Labour MP about disability benefit cuts but have limited spoons, hereâs a template from @sensecharity you can use:

Public backlash *does* work at times so letâs keep the pressure up. You too, non-disabled allies!

The Vagina Museum is just one month away from closing. Forever. A perfect storm of circumstances means that we may have to close our doors permanently and cease all digital activities. But we're not going to go down without a fight. Save the Vagina Museum. gofundme.com/f/btscc2
Can confirm that this is insanely stressful and scary.
Disabled women have warned MPs that the continuing process to move them onto universal credit from their existing benefits is risking their health and putting them at threat of destitution.

Zoning back in because: The Rossiâs have long been pillars of the online gaming community and theyâre having an extremely rough time: Vision loss, severe cardiac problems, cancer, and now their furnace has died. Theyâre fundraising to replace it. gofundme.com/f/help-with-medâŚ
This seems like a decent thing to maybe go out on, Twitter-wise.
Am in the process of moving over to the place with the skies of blue, feel free to follow me over there, same username.
Mutuals who wish to stay that way: Do feel free to say hi and speed things up for me!
I have finally made an account over at the cobalt atmosphere place, same username because Iâve been using this one for a long time and hopefully people will remember who I am if I keep going. :p Itâs going to take me weeks to get through adding people from here, sigh.

I am exhausted hearing this again and again, sick of hearing it over and over.
Never on the side of:
Carers
Disabled people
Pensioners
Single parents
Oppressed minorities
It really is heckin great.
Happy Anniversary to the Underpinnings Museum!!! This is literally my favorite museum in the world, and it's 100% free and digital! If you enjoy their work, want to support them, or just like to look at pretty things, buy one of their exhibition catalogs!

People love means-testing because they get to feel like theyâre taking something away from those who donât deserve it.
They donât like to think about what happens to the people who need it if the cut-off is in the wrong place or who fall through the cracks. That bit isnât fun.
What is even the point of Labour if theyâre just Tories in red, complete with all the same problems with cruelty and corruption? This needs to change.
