I'm tried of ableism in all it's forms. Yesterday Irish Rugby wore white against their 6 Nations game against Wales to make it more accessible for those who are colourblind. Didn't stop jerks on JOE.ie's Facebook comments belittling and mocking the efforts. #Colourblindness #Disabled #Disability

Today my 3 year old niece came to visit. She asked me why my hair is white and if it's because I'm very old. Think I'll have an early night, goodnight y'all.

#AssistUsToLive #NoToAS #BetterOffDead #NotNoise It’s a slippery slope when the debate only applies to those who agree with you, and you call the rest "noise". #Disability #Disabled #DisabledLife

I think people underestimate how common it is for us to view ourselves as burdens. I've had many disturbing conversations with older disabled people, in particular, where their valuing of their own life was low. Add coercion to the mix and disabled people are in danger.

Really good to see UTV and ITVX platforming a disabled activist on this subject - so much of the media has very heavily slanted and misrepresented the debate.

#AssistUsToLive #NoToAS I am very outspoken on deaf and disabled rights in Ireland and UK. Sometimes the trolls come out and make snide remarks. I tend to ignore them. When it comes to the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, I won't be silenced. #DisabledLife #Disabled
