Thank you I tried really hard! I think it only gets funnier when you remember they dictate them

... how did you know about all my unwritten formal complaints? 😅 I'm also hoping that, I think their legal are probably being cautious because they've been having issues with TERFs for years now

Fair, it really does depend on the local group. Mine was very high % disabled so I got lucky

I got a letter the other day which said "this lady's fracture has united very nicely indeed" and the wording made me laugh so much because it sounds like I did a good job of having bones

Yeah I think I will when doing admin tomorrow. GG defined so much of my childhood, really sad to see it go this way

Fuck the Supreme Court ruling but also fuck every organisation which bows to it - I don't fully understand the legal aspects here and nor do I claim to, but I've seen other organisations get around it with solid-looking arguments

Yay for lived experience leadership and all that but also it never stops feeling weird that I can know all these niche policies and be a trusted sector voice and whatnot and still can't stop my own degree getting fucked up at random points

Yeah I waited similar for chronic illness which is why I was wondering about it for this - was thinking if the wait was that long, everyone would be getting frozen shoulder. But hey ho, I finally get to go to Selby Abbey today hahah

If you are eligible for the mobility component of PIP, you can spend *your own money* topping that up to have a great accessible car. Critics should ask: Why are you against this? What it is about disabled people that makes you believe it’s wrong to have nice things they paid for themselves?

In basketball news they *can* appreciate, I complained literally once today about having to shoot one handed (can't get my left arm above my head still) and my coach heard + made sure to cheer really loudly every single time I scored after that, which made me feel very lucky 🥲

which like.. on the one hand, bit funny. on the other.. we don't know enough men/have enough male friends round to actually solve this problem so ??
