May is one of the first people I talk about in my book because, while it's important to talk about disability activism on it own, we also need to recognise that disabled people were (and still are) vital parts of all civil rights movements

I RAGED at this on the radio yesterday, and will repeat my mantra: you cannot (MUST NOT) ask people to develop 'resilience' or 'grit' against those things that are in your power to change. 'Develop resilience' so often means 'your disability is inconveniencing me, please be less disabled' 🧵

Governments own research on whats triggered the increase in PIP claims found its mainly from health deterioration and needing more support, with many told about it by health professionals or the dwp itself - not social media www.gov.uk/government/p...

If I may be a little cruder, "The government should punch people in the dick" might poll at 60%, but people will still be angry at the government when their dicks hurt.

I always find it baffling and sadly hilarious that literally the same women who were screaming that clothes dont have a gender 10 years ago are all now terves screaming about who should wear what

It's always baffled me that care is seen as "low skilled" or even easy work.

So lemme get this straight, Labour will - cut disability benefits - stop the majority of carers coming in - cut palliative care - push through an assisted dying bill with no protection for those who feel like a burden Tell me again how Labour wont be worse than the Tories for disabled people?

Really gonna need to start seeing the left on here speaking up more about all the fuckery labour are causing instead of just pointing at Trump cos this is exactly how they're getting away with it. By not being as blatantly murderous and reckless as trump. By convincing us all its to protect everyone

Hi @lewisatkinson.bsky.social I've emailed you several times now, and only had one carbon copy response. So I thought as well as emailing you I'd do a thread here too to I urge you to change your mind and oppose the disability benefits cuts

@rachelcdailey.bsky.social's review of The Diary feels so important because when I was a little girl, I was taught not to talk about being disabled, and it damaged me. So, disabled people telling me why disability representation matters to them feels just nice and right. Here I was a decade ago.
