you couldn't make a comic about a robot girl called transy (who gets called "not a real schoolgirl", can't swim with her class, and feels self conscious about her singing voice) today without conservatives accusing you of spreading the trans agenda

...but it happened in the 60s!

[✨“hekate”✨♿️ @hekateonwheels]

so nothing is different! nuttin at aw!!

except maybe possibly some other charity or state organisation becoming Another lease partner in the future?

maybe there’s some background legal differences but… really they should’ve matched the rest of the PIP continuity reassurances!

[✨“hekate”✨♿️ @hekateonwheels]

had a minor adhd autism panic attack about the idea of having to learn some new scotland-only scheme instead of the motability i’ve been used to my whole life

go to new the special scotgov page for it, and –only 3 screens– down mention, motability is “currently only provider”…

just saw a telegraph headline which said starmer is even worse than truss lmao

[✨“hekate”✨♿️ @hekateonwheels]

whew, got a DWP letter and was kind of afraid since this isn’t the spring uprating nor is it yet time for the winter £30 bonus thing

turns out it’s just my PIP finally transferring to ADP though. they were cutting it so close i wasn’t sure if i’d be spared another PIP assessment

[✨“hekate”✨♿️ @hekateonwheels]

people who know their history, their enoch powells and priti patels, know that “anti-immigration” means a host of other odious views

but without journos pushing back, everyone else will think “they’re just concerned about jobs/borders”. esp with starmer saying the same stuff now

[✨“hekate”✨♿️ @hekateonwheels]

so weird to see journalists in “centre left” newspapers just happily calling marine le pen’s national “rally” party simply an “anti-immigration party”

they’re the fucking national front, they’re fascists, if you can’t call them what they are then what hope is there

[✨“hekate”✨♿️ @hekateonwheels]

fyi if i reply to one person but not someone else, that’s not a conscious choice on my part but just a factor of how awful the notifications are on twitter now.

we now signpost days where we actually Are On twitter and look at the reply tab. otherwise it’s all just notifications

@KandiCritterOut i said reuse too, they used to collect and sterilise the glass bottles. barr only stopped doing that for irn bru bottles like, a couple years ago. it was standard for milk as well.

you don’t need a collection scheme for aluminium precisely because it DOES commercially recycle.

[✨“hekate”✨♿️ @hekateonwheels]

it is SO WEIRD to read this after the scottish govt was blocked from doing a similar scheme a few years ago

it’s fucking obvious that businesses should pay to collect the packaging & reuse or recycle it.

it used be common sense when it came to glass bottles! we’ve fallen so far

[✨“hekate”✨♿️ @hekateonwheels]

i just want a little solidarity from able-bodied pensioners, recognition that disabled people share the same vulnerabilities and social exclusion

at best, the issue gets ignored.

at worst, we’re discussed as scroungers draining their NI pot; practically stealing their pensions!

[✨“hekate”✨♿️ @hekateonwheels]

like honestly mostly i’m just pissed at how none of this reportage is even MENTIONING that disabled people were the guinea pigs for govt cruelty

they’re quoting multiple people who say “pensioners are always hit first.” so they didn’t even Notice we were getting fucked for YEARS

[✨“hekate”✨♿️ @hekateonwheels]

this isn’t a call for infighting, or prioritising one over the other; it’s a call to have equal compassion for people in similar circumstances.

especially since many people interviewed are able to jog around town for warmth etc. what about the bedbound pensioners with no choice?

[✨“hekate”✨♿️ @hekateonwheels]

gods i wish when cameron’s govt came in there were all these headlines like “attack on the disabled”, “new govt’s evil plan to punish disabilities” etc like we’re seeing about pensions now

because. this exact quote could’ve been said about us disabled people too, yk?

[✨“hekate”✨♿️ @hekateonwheels]

like. the fuel payment thing sucks. no doubt about it

but it sends a clear message about our disposability that we don’t get this outcry. we never have.

every headline about Vulnerable Claimants shows they could’ve mustered to care about disabled people too. they simply don’t.

[✨“hekate”✨♿️ @hekateonwheels]

i started noticing it really pick up 6-9 months ago, but on a weekly basis i’m still noticing NEW people that suddenly have it

and it just. doesn’t seem to go away (so far)

[✨“hekate”✨♿️ @hekateonwheels]

holy shit it is SO concerning how a fuckton of people suddenly have croaky voices and a smokers’ laugh

[✨“hekate”✨♿️ @hekateonwheels]

sigh, i’m glad the conversation is happening but…

“demisexual behaviour”, and “made the choice to take it slower” kind of bely the point (or at least the author’s misunderstanding) — the point is for those for whom it’s an Orientation it is Not a choice! https://t.co/l6qU84eeWc

[✨“hekate”✨♿️ @hekateonwheels]

lmao not having trauma flashbacks because of all the companies’ bottles having lids stuck to the bottle now

(at a young age i used to struggle with removing them bc of our dyspraxia, but always got mega shouted at by the abusive parent that it’ll make a mess while pouring…)

[Gizmo 🇵🇸 @basedgizmo]

All these celebrities apologising for tweeting their perfectly normal Trump thoughts is 100% a sign of it being over, btw

[✨“hekate”✨♿️ @hekateonwheels]

me when i had two partners over at once for the pride parade in the summer, and they realised they look exactly the same except one is twinkier than the other

The thing about being polyamorous is that if you have a type, it's going to get real obvious real quick.
