PSA if you see a young person using a walking stick on your morning commute, don’t stare at them. Were you not told as a child that staring it rude?

And yes, I will stare right back at you.

Private healthcare is much more expensive than NHS provision and leaches funds from the NHS

Also, the profit motive is a destructive force in healthcare and setting up the incentive to kill as many patients as possible to maximise profits is obscene

My mind drifts back to the people who told me that "all politicians are the same" and that it made "no difference" whether Harris or Trump won.

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”.

This is a manifesto against disability.

This is the language of eugenics.

Trump official announces that Trump has signed an executive order claiming that only the president can speak for “what the law is”.

That is quite simply the announcement of the dissolution of the Constitution. Trump will rule as a dictator who decides arbitrarily what is or is not lawful.

Fun fact: if you're buying from a creator on etsy, you can reduce their etsy selling fees from 6.5% to 2.5% by ordering via 'shopname.etsy.com' instead of 'etsy.com/shopname' or searching from the main site. It costs you the same but the creator makes more

"don't look away" means "don't pretend the horrors aren't happening, don't let things happen without scrutiny or observation", not "continually re-expose yourself to horror"

I found out about South Carolina’s ‘Prenatal Equal Protections Act’ bill yesterday. I am horrified but not surprised.

If you don’t know what’s going on over there, please look this bill up.
