Disabled and annoyed

[Chelsea Sowden @ChelseaSowden]

And that brings us to now. They aren't taking me and this other woman who experienced the same thing seriously.

So please, if the same has happened to you, reach out. We can figure out if it's the same guy. We can make sure this isn't brushed under the carpet.

I need your help.

Niche, but not as niche as you'd think.

I'm looking for people that have been spoken to in an inappropriate sexual manner by a man from Lush's UK customer care team.

I've found 1 more person he's done it to so far. I want to find more, if there are some, to strengthen our case.

Great, so first I'll hear back "in due course." Now I'm not going to be hearing back at all?

So I email them back again.

We’ve turned off replies to this post.

Because the use of social media to further incite hatred and cause harm to these communities is inexcusable.

We refuse to provide space for it, or subject our colleagues to reading it.

📢 There is no equality without equality for all.

And in the face of these senseless riots, we stand together against racism, Islamophobia, and all forms of discrimination and hatred.

We stand in solidarity with Muslim communities and people of colour.

Hate will not win.

Not because I'm disabled. Because of discrimination, inaccessibility, and a complete lack of humanity from employers.

At one job, all I needed was a seat at the till and a fan. That's all.

And the Tory government calling me a scrounger, believe it or not, didn't change that.

📆 Welcome to week 20 of waiting for... literally anything from Access To Work.

If I didn't have the most supportive and understanding employer, I would've had to leave my job. Just like I've had to leave others.

I've had to leave 3 jobs before now.

The government should be taking quick and positive action on the cost of living crisis and increasing rates of poverty.

Not making the worse off families poorer with welfare cuts, sanctions, and ever-increasing red tape.

[Chelsea Sowden @ChelseaSowden]

As someone that lived in 'bed-poverty' as a child, I know how important an initiative like this is.

But what a sad state of affairs that so many children are without the means to get a half decent sleep before school.

But it shouldn't be down to schools and teachers to solve this. They have a role to play, but projects like this shouldn't need to exist.
