A banger from Julia Marie — shared a few thoughts on my SSDI experience: “ME/CFS & #LongCovid are.. some of the most disabling conditions known to the history of man..& almost always are subjected to years or denial, appeal, just for the chance to live in abject poverty”

You can't fight fascism with ableism and fatphobia.

There aren’t 34 million “able bodied” Americans on Medicaid. There’s no such things as the “genuinely disabled” It’s ableist propaganda designed to get you to see us fakers, scammers or useless eaters. We aren’t the enemy. We aren’t stealing your tax dollars. The rich are.

“In Trumpian times, we need joyful narratives around disability more than ever.” To mark the audiobook of Who Wants Normal? coming out in the US, I wrote a guest essay for Alice Wong 王美華 Alice Wong on the shared fight for rights across the Atlantic. wp.me/p4H7t1-2njz

By cutting their money and ripping the safety net from beneath them, eh Anneliese Dodds ? Is this truly what you signed up for, bearing in mind your comments? Why did you lie to us?

Wonder what happened to Anneliese Dodds once she got into government? Voted for cruel welfare cuts that will punish the most vulnerable disabled constituents forcing them into abject poverty. The Labour Party in govt doesn’t treat disabled people with dignity or respect. Shameful.

“Watching nurseries bring back Covid hygiene protocols while medics urge people to get vaccinated, it feels as if we’re blindly going over an old routine, scrubbing surfaces with disinfectant and denial.” My col. on measles and repeating the same mistakes theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Yes. Every IOF soldier from Australia, Europe, Canada, and US should be investigated and charged for participating in the ongoing Palestinian holocaust. They should also be charged for hate crimes based on race and religion and treason for joining a foreign army in active duty.

By tired of this world: “Dying daily—or waking up daily—to colonial violence is NOT normal…One gruesome example amongst many is how we have miserably failed the children of Gaza and by extension, the children of Gaza in 2023.” disabilityvisibilityproject.com/2025/07/21/emp…
