This is what bothers me the most, official government data makes it clear that fraud within PIP claims is virtually non existent, so all cuts made will affect a genuinely disabled person who is already struggling due to an inadequate UC system. It's just wrong, fuck Labour.
You especially need to highlight that the government's OWN data shows PIP fraud is ZERO despite EVERY government since Thatcher spending extortionate amounts of time and money trying to find such fraud. If they KNOW there's no fraud they're admitting they're punishing people just for being disabled

My contract is over soon, the org can’t afford to keep me. I’m running out of my (private, waiting for NHS) miracle drug which keeps me functional. Any tips for remote part-time work would be helpful! If you don’t know of any, you could buy one of my books or a coffee 💜

The midnight delicatessen twins struck again.
Woke up to a delivery of baked goods and a box of quiche. I’m so sad they’re leaving.

Two years ago we published TWENTY-EIGHT, a collection of stories from the Section 28 generation.
Edited by @kestr.al and containing works from 28 incredible contributors, this book is an important look at the impact of the UK's "don't say gay" law.

Couldn’t sleep so went for a not-even-5am jog, followed by sauna. Now, less excitingly, I’m off to the dentist 🫠 On balance, not a bad start to my year. #lunarnewyear #yearofthesnake

If you’re not familiar with the Nazis Aktion T4 program, please look it up.
Too many folks forget that Hitler targeted disabled people first. No one spoke up, and rampant ableism means little has changed in 80 years.
Centre disabled people in your resistance planning. We can help.

A flash fic for our times. I am imagine quite a lot of people, particularly those who have to liaise with a certain president, are also asking the question, "We're supposed to talk to meat?"

Tried my new magic beans (Rimgepant) which are meant to help when the magic stab pen’s effectiveness wane and… I just woke after a 2 hour nap? A trip to the White Lodge? Alien abduction? Less discombobulated, more feeling akin to what many abductees describe in the X-Files.

I've built a machine that can be Confidently Wrong. It can also make pictures that all look a bit the same, as well as make a video of you kissing any celebrity or person you know. In payment, I'd like to boil the world's oceans dry, & steal all literature. For some reason, my head is not on a spike
