Valentine’s Day isn’t easy for everyone.
As a single disabled man, I know how much of today is built around a narrow idea of love. But being single doesn’t mean being incomplete.
Love is also friendship, family, community, and self-respect.
Everyone deserves love.

I’m sick of hearing people on the news, discussions panels, and in columns about welfare calling deaf and disabled people “needy.”
It’s demeaning, outdated language that treats us like we’re lesser or a burden, not equal citizens with rights.
It needs to stop.

Dog mess on paths ends up on wheelchair wheels.
That means bringing it straight into your home. Floors, carpets, hands.
It is not just unpleasant. It is a hygiene and accessibility issue.
If you have a dog, scoop the poop. 💜

I cried twice today.
Once in front in a friend and once on the phone to a fellow disabled campaigner.
My glass is empty.
