Here's our last parody song about the #USElection2024. It's called "Bohemian Trumpsody" (based on the inimitable @QueenWillRock but with only six voices & no overdubs) & we've self-trolled in it as 'libtards' already, just to save folks time who might be offended 🎶🗳️🤞

Thinking about the issues listed in this thread, it seems to me that there's a strong case for a public inquiry into the chronic mistreatment of people with ME/CFS.

This story is one of the most disturbing I've ever covered. It's about how the views of a deeply weird ideological sect affected science, medicine and the media, with devastating impacts on patients. Please read and pass on. This horror has to stop. https://t.co/qVjkbiGQY3

One of the hardest parts of the pandemic was when, in the beginning, disabled people were finally included. We had more access to the world than we ever had. It got taken away once able bodied people got tired of it. It hurts knowing it’s possible to include us but they don’t.

I wondered whether I would do this, when the time came. But there don’t seem to be many tales of him as a person going round. And, for reasons that will become apparent, I’ll always be grateful. So anyway here it is:

A 🧵on the personal kindness of @Keir_Starmer

[Amy @alexandrite113]

I’ve spent the last 2.5 years mostly bedbound in a dark room, watching the rest of my 20s slip by while the world does nothing.

All I can do is remember the person I used to be. She’s long gone.

What is the most ableist thing a doctor or nurse has ever said to you? #DisabilityTwitter

PIP has nothing to do with employment.

PIP is for moderate to severe disability and it is v difficult to qualify for.

It is not something one can blag. I research this.

Sunak's idea people can go off PIP with treatment is wild and dangerous. It is disability denial,no less.

X-Ray tech to me a wheelchair user:
Tech: “Can you walk?”
Me: “No.”
Tech: “Can you stand?”
Me: “No.”
Tech: “Well that’s a problem. I don’t know how you’re going to get up on the table.”

The problem is not the disabled person.
The problem is the inaccessibility of exam tables.

@JillHodgson62 @MrsEmmaB12 @richardosman Same with me for earth! Arghhh

[Sparrow @UntoNuggan]

ok this story is embarrassing but it is my most concise explanation for the kind of exhaustion some chronically ill people are dealing with

that is just completely ineffable if you have not experienced it

@latifnasser @threadreaderapp unroll please

Absolutely delighted to hear that @Jeremy_Hunt is going to 'cure' my Myalgic Encephalomyelitis! What a genius. There is currently no cure for M.E but finally we have one in the form of stopping our benefits? I'll make sure to tell my consultant of this new development.
