Disabled people who get UC (or income related ESA) aren't even able to try and save for vital equipment/aids/adaptations... Because they'll get their benefits taken away from them. Many of these adaptations etc... cost more than the savings thresholds. It's a disgusting system.


I truly hate to do this. Does anyone have £30 they can lend me until next Friday? Just so I can put the heating on! Anyway at all? I’ll pay you back Friday when I get paid!


More things upon in Vinted, including some stuff you could get for Christmas pressies! Open to reasonable offers too! vinted.co.uk/member/5762865…

Thread: 1/ Women in the U.S., I need you to gently set aside your grief for a second and look at me. It's time to operate from a place of planning. -If you are married and not the breadwinner, depend on your husband for insurance, it's time to start planning.

Earlier this morning Janey passed away in her sleep. Her family were with her. The love and support from all her friends and fans during this cancer journey brought her enormous joy. It has also been a huge comfort to us, her family and close friends, thank you.

We almost all receive awful, terrible news at some point, & we can often recall exactly how our body responded The lurching pit in your stomach, the dry mouth, your heart beating so hard you fear it might explode out of your chest 4 years ago, we weren’t expecting bad news 🧵

i personally am not the biggest fan of living in a country where the unelected ‘leader’ will boldly with his whole chest say disabled people should stop 'over-medicalising the everyday challenges and worries of life'


Realising why your sister ignores you and hates you is because of your differences is so hard…basically me being autistic is why she does this shit. She’s 18, and I love her more than anything but she treats me like crap and I cry about it every week!


When you forget it’s Sunday so you’re now waiting an extra 40 minutes for the bus 😂😂 oh and then I’m having a flare up with my IBS!!!! Not good!! #ADHD #adhdlife #IBS #invisibledisability

"Just force yourself to have a shower" Yeah because it's totally that easy... Also, no it doesn't always make us 'feel better after'... it can actually cause sensory overwhelm, pain and even more exhaustion. Hence why it's one of the things that stops when I'm struggling.

Please can parent stop saying this shit? Disabled isn’t a dirty word, and denying things are (or can be) disabilities is hideously ableist. We need a new campaign “Just say disabled and stop talking for us”.

I’m so exhausted at the fact that artists still choose venues that are inaccessible to disabled fans. It’s really not that hard to find accessible venues or at least venues with a lift. #Disabled #Disability

So I ask a simple question and get my head snapped off…I had a good day and now I just want to cry 😭

You don’t understand why a diagnosis means so much to us, but that’s because you didn’t go your entire life wondering why you were different, and being excluded, shamed, mocked and misunderstood because of it. Diagnosis literally saved my life.

What's a scam that's so normalized that we don't even realize it's a scam anymore?

PROOF: disabled people are getting wiped the fuck out. And y’all don’t care. Stateside, Anthony Fauci said the disabled + elderly will “fall by the wayside”. WE CANNOT STAND FOR THIS. WEAR A FUCKING MASK. #CovidIsNotOver #CovidIsAirborne #SARSCoV2 #DisabilityJustice

"Nearly 6 out of 10 people who died with coronavirus from January to November 2020 were disabled." This is a disgrace. An absolute disgrace. It was and is social murder bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…

People aren’t just born with a disability , people can acquire a disability at any point in their life. It can be temporary or permanent No one is born a carer but you can easily become one Then what financially? Think before you cheer on benefit cuts, think carefully indeed

This language is misleading and potentially dangerous. Autistic people are not a monolith. My autistic traits affect me in and out of society. Splitting hairs with semantics can be invalidating and triggering. Nuance is hard with character limits, but this missed the mark.

Autism Speaks is a hate group, and they should have no place in any Autistic person’s life. I’ll gladly die on that hill.
