People think being disabled is like being on vacation
They say “you’re lucky! I wish I didn’t have to work!”
Most of us would love to work. We would love to get out of bed. We would love to not be forced into legislated poverty
Imagine your worst sick day on repeat forever
That’s chronic illness

Lately, I've been researching the life of Barbara Fea who was born in Stronsay some time* in the late 17th century.
Her story is one of power, legal process and, sadly, awful violence. Throughout this, she endures. I want to tell her tale.
* We'll return to her age in a bit because it's important.

ICE didn’t just kill Wael, they ensured his last months were full of suffering.
He knew he would die without his father.
His father was the person who made him feel safe.

Slow handclap for Amazon, who took over Comixology, gutted it and then killed it stone dead. A decent, viable product people liked, destroyed for the stock bump. The way we live is completely insane. Fuck these vultures.

Whilst I’m in my photos of the National Museum in Copenhagen, you’d better have this 360 of the Gundestrup Cauldron. Found in 1891 in a Jutland peat bog, there are more questions hanging over this silver Iron Age vessel than answers…only its shocking beauty is uncontested.
