My second #Ekphrasis piece inspired by AshleyCook’s art and my lived experience of #chronicillness #ME is now live on the wonderful #DisabledTales. Involving the myth of the siren, Wolf Larsen and even a Beatles reference! 😌 www.disabledtales.co.uk/essays/the-l...

Thank you to @sensecharity.bsky.social for providing an accessible campaign template, enabling me to write to my MP @gordonmckee.bsky.social re #disabiltycuts more swiftly than I would otherwise be able. The fact we have to do this at all is shameful.

The first page of an article reporting the outcomes of the Glasgow Disability Alliance campaign I was involved in says it all on a day when this current incarnation of the Labour Party abandon their founding ethos YET AGAIN #disabled #activism #austerity #disabilitycampaign

Happy Burn’s Night all.
Here’s to the continued appreciation of an enduring, eloquent, meaningful, working class voice, who recognised inequalities of power and hoped for a better world. #burnsnight #rabbieburns #poetry #radicalism

Living with #chronicillness can make building a snowman tough, but drawing one on a bin lid not only brought me just as much joy - it gave the bin men a smile too ⛄️😅💕 #snow #disability #adaptation #photography

Looking out of my window at midnight towards the fireworks across the city and wishing all a happy, peaceful New Year typically it’s taken me almost 24 hrs to post, but the sentiment remains ☺️ #newyear #2025 #glasgow #photography
