Parlour Talk

Let's start a conversation. 💜 On hiatus.

[EveryDoctor @EveryDoctorUK]

Do you think that a private commercial property company should be running an NHS ambulance service?

If the answer is no, please RT this. We need everyone to understand that politicians are privatising the NHS

Weeks ago, I was left stranded on a train b/c staff were “too busy” to tell the arrival station I needed a ramp in time.

I complained, & received an email offering me…a £20 M&S gift card. For breaking the Equality Act.

Pls tell me I’m not the only one who finds this absurd??🤦🏻‍♀️

@divinedomino They'll be added slowly as individual stickers to the Parlour Talk Etsy store over the next few months! 🥰 https://t.co/Dw6HSj10mQ

If you’re part of the #covidconcious community, but you are unwilling to learn about disability justice from disabled people, please realize you are contributing to the systems you claim to hate by refusing to learn. There’s still time to course correct. We need humility.

This collection is absolutely divine. 💜

There are many vulval conditions so it’s important to check your vulva regularly.

What if you made one change only:

If you see someone wearing a mask, put on a mask around them. Assume that they are vulnerable, and meet them where they need to be met.

Could you at least do that, please?

[Emily♡ @ItsEmilyKaty]

We know that the ‘if you’re not looking at me, you’re not listening’ rhetoric is out-dated and incorrect. So many students (especially those with autism or ADHD) learn, listen and focus better whilst fidgeting, doodling, or doing another activity.

I built an air purifier using PC fans as a fun project! The instructions will be linked below!

This is my first time building one of these. You don't have to use light up fans. I did because they were on sale and I thought it would be fun and pretty.

[Dr Julia Grace Patterson💙 @JujuliaGrace]

Just a quick reminder that the politicians who don’t think NHS staff should have a proper pay rise have had 10 pay rises since 2010.

About a year ago, I decided I would make things easier on myself. More than a few months ago, I made a start and worked to combine all my blog sites.

Today, I've finally finished.

This is absolutely terrifying: state-funded researchers in Poland have developed lab tests that can detect if a person has taken abortion pills and they've used them to investigate pregnancy outcomes. The tests work for both mifepristone and misoprostol.

An important thing I learned as a sex worker that I wish I could share w civilian women: A good body is one that can give and receive pleasure, not one that looks a particular way. And relatedly, all kinds of bodies are desirable.

[Parlour Talk @ParlourTalk]

Parlour Talk will be back up again in (hopefully) less than a day!

Mobility aids are essential for many disabled people. Touching them without someone's permission is an invasion of their space and privacy.

Disabled cyborgs! Do you feel vulnerable thinking about all the things we need to live?

I rely on 24/7:
- hospital bed
- mechanical Hoyer lift
- power chair
- feeding pump
- nebulizer
- ventilator
- cough assist
- feeding tube
- suction machine
