I should know better than to be surprised at this, but, wow.

I've only just realised how people with degenerative conditions are going to be affected. Huge oversight on my part. I just can't believe they thought that telling currently disabled people "we'll protect you but not those that come after you" was going to appease us.

Pip moves people towards employability. It helps with additional costs and barriers to work.

Hope that helps!

It feels like the sanitised and patronising 'differently abled'.

If someone finds peace and encouragement using that term for themselves that's great- but I think it's disingenuous to pretend like ME/LC isn't rooted in suffering and pain

There WAS an important movement to stop using wheelchair bound. As far as I am aware, there is no such movement from us chronically ill cripples who are trapped in our homes, often without appropriate medical care.

Also, the narrative of the "good cripple" has nothing to do with it?

FFS.

they are missing the *incredibly important* point that we phased out "wheelchair bound" because wheelchair users are not physically restrained to their chairs AND wheelchairs are freedom and movement.

We housebound and bedbound cripples are literally trapped in our homes/beds.

Seriously. If your main contribution is "some babies just gonna starve 🤷🏻‍♀️" maybe you should just stfu and let the grown ups talk

Do they even hear the shit that comes out of their mouth????

Oh amazing! Some of the best poems I've written have been about the erotic expression of my disabled body. I love that intersection, the way our bodies hold both pain and pleasure simultaneously

That is an absolutely gorgeous cover 💗

I'm pretty sure most punters know how to go downstairs.

And why are we locking them in????

That's the funniest shit that's happened to me in a LONG time

This skeet has a target audience that's bigger than it should be 😬 lol sob

Are there inside jokes about the absurdly cunty things you did? Some of them are pretty funny, I bet
