Jill Murphy. My Inspiration, mentor and dearly loved friend has passed away.
I am so grateful to have been her friend. I owe her so much and love her with all of my heart.
🗣️"The waiting list for a new-build wheelchair accessible home is currently 40 years.
If you don't live in an accessible home as a Disabled person, it's a dangerous home, and a dangerous home you could be living in for 40 years."
DR UK's Mikey speaking to @CommonsHCLG 👇
being part of the age cohort that hasn’t had their brains utterly blown out by short form video content is what i imagine it was like to be literate in medieval times
Me: If I don't tell you why I'm in a wheelchair it's not because I'm trying to be mysterious or keeping it a secret. It's just such a normal part of my life I forget that people might be curious.
Acquaintance: Why are you in a wheelchair?
Me: None of your business.
