New doctor: You're rather educated about your condition.

Me: Yeah. I have to be. I’ve had to teach myself about my illness because doctors not only are uneducated about it but seem to think gaslighting is more appropriate than treatment.

Thread on how NOT to be an ally to disabled people (plus a bit at the end demonstrating how easy it can be to get it right).

The @PoetryForAllUK #anthology has landed! Printed on recycled materials by @inkylittlefinge & published by @allographica with @StairwellBooks. So chuffed! (Pls note: I'm #disabled and deliberately reclaim a derogatory word used about us in this video.) https://t.co/ika1ie1h6e

Today is one of the darkest days for disabled people in living history. My heart is breaking for my community who have had our financial lifelines removed. There is no future for those of us who cannot work and therefore will have no income. Everyone is so frightened. @UKLabour

@adwoodward227 Excellent question - we'll check with the @yorkearlymusic in case they have a different policy, but I think we should be fine with late entries (@RoseBoneCrone can you confirm?) as long as they enter relatively quietly!

[Fay Roberts @fayroberts]

Part of #fundraising for @PoetryForAllUK was for production costs for merch which has started to arrive. Last week badges, today notebooks from @ALocalPrinter (specialising in really good quality products made entirely from recycled materials).
