Tidal recommended this playlist for me called “Garden showers” by beepo🍓. It is exactly what I need right now as I’m recovering from a medical procedure. Thank you beepo🍓, whoever you are and wherever you are! 💜 It feels like a gentle hug in the garden.

Seeing lots of common terns around the coast at the minute. They spend a lot of their time diving down for food, it doesn’t always pay off, but this time it did. #commontern #birds #wildlife #ukwildlife #birdphotography

I’m sending love to all of the people still taking Covid precautions five years in. I know how exhausting it can be where the majority of the world has stopped caring about it, but you’re still doing it. You’re standing for community, love, and solidarity. Keep going. 💜

I absolutely love Ann Jones’ “What the Duck?” podcast! And I think I’ve just listened to one of my favourite episodes in the “Hollywood Lied to Us” series- how biologically accurate is The Little Mermaid? 🧜‍♀️ It made me laugh so much - thank you Ann! www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...
Hollywood lied to us: The Little Mermaid - ABC listen
Yes, the Little Mermaid is an animated movie, but if it were real, where would this mermaid paradise be?  Is it plausible that Ursula the Octo-woman would have henchmen in the form of eels?  Ann Jon...

I am proud to have written this story, published in @croakeynews.bsky.social today. I believe it is time for the world to feel the stories of psychiatric survivors. Thank you, Fay Jackson. #NotAllPsychiatrists

Aussies, sign this petition before tonight. We shouldn't be forced to depend on our partners if we are on the disability support pension, it puts us at great risk of abuse and heightens our vulnerability.
Hi pals, last chance to sign this petition ✍️ to abolish the partner income test. So that disabled people, for example, can apply for assistance even if they happen to have a partner and a budgerigar ffs.
Closes tonight.
Thank youse x www.aph.gov.au/e-petitions/...

My friend Grace wrote this powerful piece on @croakeynews.bsky.social about centring psychiatric survivors’ voices in the NSW psychiatrists’ pay dispute and what it means to our psychiatric system. Thank you Grace & Croakey for publishing this!

Disabled people need you writing and calling and badgering your reps.

We do not need replies of "I'm in a red state, there's nothing I can do."

There are reports around the country of politicians sweating pressure. One more call can help more than you know.
17 states are literally suing to make it okay to kill me and people like me.

Abled allies, please show up. I haven't seen much from you in the last five years. I want to believe you'll be there now. Will you be?
17 states are suing to overturn section 504.

Include disabled people in your resistance planning. In many ways we’re built for resistance, as we have to find creative and sustainable ways to survive every single day.

This is the time for intersectionality and community care. We need to work together and save one another.

I discovered these at the grocery store today - salt and vinegar sweet potato nibbles! They were $6 (expensive!) but they are so yummy. Hopefully they’ll go on sale soon.

So today I started a Substack! My first post is about acknowledging the state of the world (a dumpster fire 🔥) and sharing some moments that have brought me joy over the last week or so.

If you can’t handle the social discomfort or personal inconvenience of wearing an n95 to protect disability communities, you won’t be able to handle the discomfort and risk of actual “resistance” work.

Expand your capacity for discomfort to expand your capacity to liberate.

And wear a damn mask:

Hey. Using the r word or the ending of the r word attached to whatever suffix for our enemies is still

1. Ableist in ways that HELP THEM
2. Repugnant
3. Telling disabled people like me exactly what you think of us

I do not care what your rationale is, it is wrong.

An incredible photo from Berlin this evening.

An estimated 100,000 have been on the streets in the German capital today to protest against the Far Right and fascism in Europe.
