Daniel: “Disabled parking should only be valid during business hours 9 to 5 Monday to Friday. I cannot see any reason why people with genuine disabilities would be out beyond these times.”
Jennifer: “We're disabled, Daniel, we're not werewolves!”
@paul_fendler @movermicky @drpatrick I take high-dose melatonin nightly and have throughout 5 years of Long COVID. It's great, but it's 'not the answer'.
@areyoflight It's because they want to pour resources into private enterprises to offer voucher schemes for what contractors presume – based on earning-potential – disabled people need: prescription glasses from specific vendors, wellness bollocks dressed up as counselling, et al.
I’m seeing even well-meaning accounts criticise disability cuts as hitting “the most vulnerable.” Reminder: disabled people are not inherently vulnerable. We are vulnerable when governments choose to withhold the resources disabled people need to live dignified and secure lives.
@CounsellingSam It's pathological (i.e., society doesn't exist) that after/continuing austerity, a disabling pandemic, an aging population, a severe rise in poverty & the financialisation of the public sphere so to erase a real-healthy economy, that the care economy has a boot on its neck.
