There is no reason we can’t provide all disabled people a living wage Forcing us to live in legislated poverty and subjecting us to dehumanizing & difficult applications and appeals processes is a political *choice* Society undervalues us. They won’t fight for us So governments deem us expendable

I might not manage all the prompts, but hope to dip in and out throughout June. Day 1: Not sure it qualifies as a queer book, but the first book I remember reading with a character who questioned their sexuality was Amy’s True Love from Francine Pascal’s Sweet Valley High series. #ReadingPride

This is a great list. I was expecting good books, but this is also good. And not really all that hard to do.

At Dad’s and, while waiting for painkillers to work, reading The Ballad of Smallhope and Pennyroyal by @www.joditaylorbooks.com – a mistake because I don’t want to stop reading and go to sleep, and I have to keep smothering myself with the duvet so I don’t wake Dad or sisters by laughing so loudly!
