Speech and Language Therapist. I love lifting heavy things. She/her.

I wrote this for Mental Health Day in 2020, but seeing some of the conversations on this hell site at the moment, I thought I might share it again. Things are tough. Look after each other.

No-one risks their life in the Channel in a flimsy boat unless they have no choice.

Labour’s cruel move to block refugees from citizenship — bypassing Parliament — shows a dangerous rightward shift, ditching human rights & international law.

It must be reversed.

I am disgusted by the government’s relentless demonisation of disabled people.

All so they can protect the wealthiest from paying their fair share.

Instead of targeting the most vulnerable, let’s “crack down” on corporations and billionaires evading tax instead.

[India Willoughby @IndiaWilloughby]

CORRECT

[Josie Long @JosieLong]

Even truer today than ever. Fuck him, fuck transphobia, love to trans people every single day.

Non-disabled people truly have no place in disabled conversations where we’re speaking on how it is to suffer from chronic illness and disability. Let us have one thing, and please stop inserting yourself. This is about US. Not you.

[Frances Ryan @DrFrancesRyan]

Just incredibly bleak that when a Labour government is finally in power, disabled people still have to wake up to front pages calling them a blight on society.

Many young people in the criminal justice system have unidentified speech, language and communication needs. Our latest factsheet looks at the size of the problem and how speech and language therapy can benefit those in the justice system.

This. I do complain, often, but it is exhausting and often ignored. Society is inherently ableist and disabled people are seen as an inconvenience.

[pjmardy @PJMardy]

@TeenyBella Oh love. I’m so sorry. What an awful, shitty, thing to have happened. Please be kind to yourself - sending lots of love 💜

[pjmardy @PJMardy]

@TeenyBella (Hair looks good too!)

[pjmardy @PJMardy]

@TeenyBella Chebs look incredible 🔥

[Josie Long @JosieLong]

My friend and I decided that “friend of thatcher” should be a euphemism for pedophile if it isn’t already.

[Catherine @cedgson91]

News flash!
Disabled people have worth & do not need to be working
WORK IS NOT A HEALTH OUTCOME
It is not bad for business when they dont want us!
We are not pulling the economy down ffs
Fck off with this ableism Liz!
People wont get better or back to work by cutting benefits!

Fatigue feels like you have sandbags tied to your feet while trying to walk. It feels like you haven’t slept in weeks. It feels like gravity is pulling you down. It feels like cotton balls are in your head, clouding everything.

Fatigue is NOT the equivalent to being tired.
