“Many disabled people use PIP to get to and from work and to pay for essential equipment like mobility aids. Making it harder to get benefits will just push even more disabled people into poverty, not into jobs.“ mirror.co.uk/money/dwp-plan…

If you want a clear illustration of the Government’s disregard for really engaging with Disabled people, they have produced NO accessible versions of their plans today.

A wholly unsurprising read — but a timely one. In the week that PIP is slashed for millions, the shambles of the accessibility of public services is highlighted. That PIP money? It funds taxis when public transport just isn’t an option — as experienced by 98% of disabled people.

⚠️PERMANENT #FacialRecognition cameras on our streets⚠️ This tech is capable of ID'ing and tracking any one of us. It changes what it means to just live our lives. There are no laws covering this tech. The Government must urgently create safeguards to protect us all

I’ve been quiet on here as of late — don’t really intend on that changing —, but I had a lovely evening on the Southbank last night, and whilst the world feels like it’s spinning faster and faster these days, a moment of tranquility feels worth savouring.

It’s not enough to hope that in 10, 30, 50 years, we’ll look back on this with shame and disbelief. For trans people in the UK today, the stripping away of rights, within an unspeakably hostile political environment, is a lived reality, today, now. theguardian.com/society/2025/j…

We don’t talk enough about the difference a 4-day week can make for disabled people. Now, South Cambs District Council are helping to change that. They’ve completed a full study on their 4-day week trial and the results are profound. See below for some standout quotes🧵

Okay I’ve found the best trans pride flag

So proud to call London home 💚 Last weekend, Croydon Pride, and yesterday, # LondonTransPride, with 100,000 taking to the streets in a show of love and resistance. The fight is far from over, but humanity, acceptance, light, and joy will always win out 🏳️‍⚧️ theguardian.com/society/2025/j…

Sobering day today. Whilst the day itself is yet to come, a final date has now been set for guide dog Lacey (who many have met and fallen in love with — with Lace, it’s one and the same) to hang up her harness after 8 years. Here she is last weekend at #LondonTransPride 🐕‍🦺

Extreme cognitive dissonance for a Sunday morning. We are living in a delusion, chasing a fantasy of economics whilst our homes, our livelihoods, and our realities are destroyed and swept away in front of our very eyes.

8 years ago today, this team first assembled 🐕‍🦺 And what a team it’s been, crisscrossing the continent by land and sea: there’s “ no other teammate id rather have at my side ❤️ With a short time until Lacey hangs up her harness, we’re making the most of every trip we have left.

In my happy place. Batch cooking vegetable chilli I absolutely do not have room in my freezer for. Tupperware Jenga — can’t beat it.

NEW: Brits would back Zack Polanski if they had a vote in the Green Party leadership election. After seeing campaign videos from each candidate, voters across all age groups, parties and regions preferred Polanski to the Adrian Ramsay and Ellie Chowns candidacy 👇
