Well what a day was great to catch up with people & Naidex didn’t disappoint…. Thanks 😀

Just a reminder that this behaviour is just the tip of the iceberg that we as disabled people encounter. Discrimination can be covert, and indirect but also sadly very direct too. Then we internalise that ableism, believe it & hold ourselves to impossible standards. #EndAbleism

So force Disabled ppl into work to ‘save money’ then Disabled people all claim access to work because their new place of work does not meet their needs in a Disabling world & gov pays on average £10,000, up to £66,000 a year per person. Sure makes sense! Or is ATW going too?

The story of Superman is coming to cinemas this weekend. It has reawaken buried emotions for Mike. But 20 years on he explains why his feeling of being let down by his hero was wrong in a personal and powerful account. bit.ly/4f5LTUl

From today disabled workers effectively "stop" earning for the rest of the year because of the pay gap between us and non-disabled workers. That gap sits at 17.2%, with non-disabled employees making about £2.35 more per hour on average. #DisabilityPayGapDay #FairDues

This is the truth of the benefit cuts, not #handouts but a way of trying to level the playing field. Bravo Liz "blue tick" Carr & the disabled people of Islington. youtu.be/l8zAfTHRtpo?si…
