Life is hard enough, let people have what little joys they can find ffs.

@AmazonUK Amazon could you please let your drivers know that if neighbours can’t take a parcel for someone not to be irritated because there’s usually a good reason for that??

Her face when the turtle pops out. Too precious!

[Candace D. @DiaryofaSickGrl]

For the record, no—I don’t get “used to” being chronically ill. I am shocked and offended by every moment that I have to suffer 😂

[Laura Gillies @LaurasCarousel]

@sainsburys hey Sainsbury’s, will you be getting more of the Irish cream banoffee pie in? I only just seen that you had this on the app a few days ago, didn’t realise before! And its now showing out of stock 😕😳 keeping everything crossed it comes back in 🤞

@allyc375 @timboxall Oh my god 😳😳😳

[Laura Gillies @LaurasCarousel]

The online discussions on social media at the moment around disabled people and motability cars is really disgusting and just highlights that so many people just don’t understand.

[Laura Gillies @LaurasCarousel]

@Matalan hey! Do you know if your hello kitty wrapping paper will come back in stock? Thanks ☺️

[Carlsberg. @Carlynotcarley]

The most ridiculous thing I've read today is that 'disabled people shouldn't flaunt wealth'

[Laura Gillies @LaurasCarousel]

@Carlynotcarley I just feel like I’m not even really surprised with everything I’ve read lately 😳😳😭

[Laura Gillies @LaurasCarousel]

@Uber_Support really disappointed in the service I’ve received from your app. Could you possibly help further?

@DiaryofaSickGrl Some disabled people are unreliable and therefore unemployable, it's not that we don't want to work. We just can't guarantee work on any given day. Those work from home at your own pace jobs are a myth.

[Candace D. @DiaryofaSickGrl]

Some people think that chronically ill people are faking for attention. Do you think that if I could choose ANY WAY to be interesting that *medically* would be my first choice? 😂😅 It is NOT fun. I would love to be medically unremarkable and interesting in better ways.

[Candace D. @DiaryofaSickGrl]

Anyone can become chronically ill or disabled at anytime.

It's so sad that it's considered radical to say that even disabled people who are unable to work should still have nice things. A coffee every once in a while, a nice dinner, a fun trip. Just because you're unable to contribute to capitalism doesn't mean you should suffer.

@Matalan hi Matalan, I’ve had no help from your messaging service. Please can you DM me?

[Laura Gillies @LaurasCarousel]

Nah what is with EVRI drivers and not even knowing the door?! 🤦🏻‍♀️
