I'm a full-time powerchair user, have Muscular Dystrophy, a mum and fiance, advocate for the disabled. I want to make a difference, in-between the tears, anger and frustration.

Menopause....menopause, that's what's up blue sky!
Disability isn't sufficient in aggravating me everyday, menopause at 39 is needed. Is there anything about being a woman that doesn't royally suck?

Being disabled, sucks more than being related to Trump....
And not just for me, I have friends who are practically prisoners in their rooms. Because spare of the moment outings and visiting friends overnight is like a military deployment, time and expense.

We are seeing more and more lies being told about disabled people.
There is hardly any fraud in the benefits paid to disabled people.
We need to challenge the scapegoating of disabled people - and fight for a wealth tax instead.

Beyond disgusting!! Even after it was ruled, the woman involved was clearly unable to consent as in an unfit state. Judge ruled because of the accused young age and promising future (as a gynecologist 😡), he would serve suspended sentence.

He’s backing a trade deal with Trump that could force the UK to accept US agricultural products that don't meet our standards.
