I keep seeing sentiments like "don't let the world get to you" which feel a lot like "don't let your disability hold you back". The world is getting to all of us. It's not your fault if it does. It isn't up to you to ignore it and smile. If we must cry and weep and be gloomy, that is okay. - ThreadSky

It is OK to cry, scream, whine, and complain! If the world crushes you, you should NOT remain silent.

I feel the same way. Here in England they have just announced billions in welfare cuts. It is terrifying.

Starmer: a hug for Zelenskyy, a knife in the back for the vulnerable here.

Starmer is also a supporter of Israel.

Btw I am not sure of the situation in Wales and Scotland, which is why I don't say "the UK."

It's hard when the world is trying to tell us we are all different but we are going through so many of the same things (I'm in Canada).

It's scary and stressful!!

Anger is the appropriate response to cruelty.
