@DRDisabilityReb Young carers aren't eligible for carers allowance. 15 year olds are expected to do the work of a carer, with none of the recognition.
The Nimbus system is bad. The old system wasn't great. Disabled people and their carers deserve Decent as a bare minimum standard.
@DRDisabilityReb Why does Nimbus require so much additional personal medical information, to provide less options than the Hynt card does in Wales for the same service, and at no cost to the applicant?
#nimbusdis#accesscard
There are only around 8 registered venues advertising the scheme rn, but hey, we don't have that many big arts venues... There are a lot of independant places that happily acccept it and mention it on their website, they just aren't on the Hynt pages yet
For those currently upset or unable to access the #nimbuscard to fast track disability accomodations: good news!
Wales has its own version. It's called Hynt, is free and absolutely does not require a doctors letter unless you don't have one of the many qualifying letters below
@beccajiggens@nimbusdis Not even the only scheme. Wales has the Hynt card. It is free to apply + for the card and all cards allow the holder to request any of the reasonable accomodations available under the EA. The card doesn't mark what type of disabled you are, it trusts that applicants will be fair
@oldenoughtosay Have you been handed a bucket or large saucepan and very precise instructions for exactly where in your bedroom to place it yet? Then it's not a Proper Storm.
@speakoutsister@skarjay92 We did. Both at the start of the parade as we were near the front, where she had stationed herself, then later at the green where the entertainment was. She was outside the information booth talking to police as my son dropped on some glasses he'd found on the floor.
@gracepetrie The new guy isn't polling well and his apprentice is doing even worse. Only makes sense to see quietly seething resentment as an improvement and break out the necromancy team.
@_aliabbasi_@realDonaldTrump Will it be coming to a streaming service anywhere? I'm a 2+ hour train ride away from a proper cinema so streaming is my only chance to see anything and I really want to watch this film. Mubi, maybe?
@krill_collins To be able to use that information to facilitate your goals and your peace.
Those red flags are banners now. That purchase that sends you overdrawn and hungry suddenly doesn't look so necessary. Whatever it is for you, you've lived it once so that you never have to live it again
@krill_collins Ok all the things that are making your life feel hard rn? In your 30s you learn how to avoid or mitigate them, because you went through it in your 20s. You're in your tutorial stage rn.
It's great to know what you like, but it's even more important to know what you won't accept+
@Melethonomia So basically exactly what the major studios have already done with any minority representation for the last few years?
"It'll be a hit with marginalised groups in 100+ countries, but we might have to edit it for this one government so we'll just not, eh?"
@the_veriest_@kentuckymanpain@DisasterShipB I had to move a shoe rack so took the chance to clear it out. A bag of outgrown but good kids shoes to pass on, another of worn through ones. Got mixed up halfway through, realised, did a Cry about it and flung both bags into a pile for 'later'. Bags are identical 🙃
