I upgraded my Oral-B pro 2 to a 3 and I can’t help but think that no disabled people were included in the testing process? It’s now so slippy it’s very difficult for me to grip. Such a shame when so many #disabled people use electric toothbrushes because they can’t use manuals!

This #IDDP2021 I would like to remind you that I AM NOT SANTA AND EVERY DAY SHOULD INCLUDE DISABLED PEOPLE. #InternationalDisabilityDay2021 #disabilityday

Been on the phone to Lambeth Council for 2h as every issue falls under different team so have to go back in queue! Surely this doesn’t make sense? Can’t do online as all were to chase things not done or ignored web subs. Outcome: someone will call back and still no heating 😡

“…When you get a group of people with diverse abilities together the sum is greater than the parts." - what a group of disabled astronauts can teach us about the benefits of inclusion for all - bbc.co.uk/news/disabilit… #disability #DisabilityHistoryMonth #Inclusion

Ah what a reason to wake up before 9am on a weekend: to get time to see Twitter going mad about Sajid Javid having access to PPE the nhs staff can’t access, a mansplainer not letting women speak, and an anti vax anaesthesiologist (also the mansplainer). Delightful. #sajidjavid

I’m at #TheMound and I think it might be the only place in the world I’ve been made to queue for the stair queue when I obviously can’t use the stairs. At least I got to see London’s shittest attraction though.

Where’s the campaign for a spin off show about #SafeInAustin I can sign? (Although also going to need one for them not calling disabilities ‘super powers’ though!) But seriously THIS is the show I need in my life! All the disabled animals 🥰😭Queer Eye Netflix

Just received a Christmas present posted on the 16th Dec - FOURTY TWO days ago, along with some (now inedible) brownies from the 20th. Still waiting for 2 things from early Jan Royal Mail this isn’t good enough you’ve had two years everyone else has figured this out by now.

Instagram normally is creepily accurate with its targeted advertising. It knows I might be interested in perfume (samples specifically) but seems to be under the impression I could be the kind of person who can afford perfume that they suggest requires its own leather travel case

Just found out that in the year everyone is concerned about covering energy bills, the gov have scrapped the warm home discount for over 200,000 disabled households. Why are there not riots in the streets at this point? #disabled #WarmHomeDiscount #EnergyCrisis #energybills

So pleased that Lizzo has heard what the disabled community had to say about #Grrrls and rather than dismissing has listened and changed the word. Hopefully this will be an educational moment for a lot of people because I see this word making it in to US tv/film too often still

Sometimes I really think our politicians would do well to read a book or listen to a podcast. Freakonomics have shown us time and again that something like this £10 fine will make people think they have legitimately paid to miss an appointment and will do it more #RishiSunak

Used Octopus Energy’s forecaster. Even raised to 2k/pa - #electricity only, 1 bed flat, gas paid on rent, I’ll still be in debt by Feb. I have higher costs due to #disability but I don’t believe I’m eligible for the warm home grant this year due to changes. Something has to give!
