One of the hardest things about chronic illness is unpredictability. You can do everything “right” & still have a flare up You can manage your energy expenditure perfectly only to have your progress wiped out by something innocuous & unplanned Managing a baseline is hard work.

This is getting dangerously insulting now. At a time when #UKLabour say they want sick & disabled people back to work, they now plan to cut the funding to aid the support people need? Where is the sense in that? How does this encourage more jobs from Employers? So disingenuous.

We are seeing more and more lies being told about disabled people. There is hardly any fraud in the benefits paid to disabled people. We need to challenge the scapegoating of disabled people - and fight for a wealth tax instead. Sign my petition today. change.org/p/tax-wealth-d…

Since launched last Tuesday this petition has regularly been top. We need to protect Disabled people from these proposed cuts and the signatures to this petition let us have a chance to discuss this in parliament and media. So keep signing and sharing petition.parliament.uk/petitions/7215…

Autism is not a mental illness. It's a neurodevelopmental brain wiring difference that causes clinically significant impairment in daily functioning. It's not an illness that needs to be cured. It's a disability that needs to be accommodated. #AutismAwarenessMonth

My budgie said something really funny: “As you do, boys” 🐦

People that don't live in constant pain will never, ever understand. Sitting in a CHAIR causes me immense pain. But the Abelist crowd reckon it's so easy to work.

I went to the doctors’ surgery earlier for a blood test. They have a peacock there who was sitting on the fence—a lot like Kier Starmer.

Roughly 1.32 million people (nearly 40% of all daily living PIP claimants) are at risk of losing support if these proposals go through. The average annual loss would be over £4,000, with many losing all support despite significant functional impairments. I cannot put into words..

Happy good Friday! I'm spending time today trying to think of all the songs that are tenuously related to Easter in some way 🐰 Any suggestions please?! 📣 It's for my show on Hospital Radio Lynn on Sunday 📻 #Easter2025

New: “A major rebellion appears to be hardening on the Labour benches rather than subsiding, despite frantic efforts by whips and government ministers to talk MPs round”. More and more MPs are increasingly on side👏 keep up the pressure🙌 spoons allowing💫 tinyurl.com/2hjeexra

Latest from me: The idea that autism is some aberration that can be cured is typical of a movement that celebrates simplistic thinking and loathes human difference (link below)

🎉Tune in to "Feel Good at Five" on Hospital Radio Lynn! This week, I’m sharing my exciting driving milestone, plus some Easter punny fun! 🐣🚗 Let’s hop into positivity. Don’t miss it! 5-6pm GMT 🎧player.broadcast.radio/?mode=site&sta… #HospitalRadio #EasterSunday Hospital Radio Lynn

I'm excited to share that I've bought a new microphone specifically for voice-overs! My existing ones are more suited for radio. I've chosen the Sontronics STC-20, and I'm proud to invest in my voice-over career 🎙️

What a week it’s been! Just got out of the hospital after 3 nights 🩺. Severe abdominal pain in the appendix area turned out to be due to urine retention—thankfully no surgery needed! Grateful for the care and so happy to be home! 💪

🗣📢 DISABILITY IS NOT A DIRTY WORD. That is all.

Please respect our valued colleague

All new-build homes should be level-access to both front and back. Have doorways wide enough for chairs. Have staircases that can facilitate stairlifts. Be easily adaptable. Have solar panels and electric car chargers. And a certain % should be bungalows. This should be minimum.

Liz Kendall just compared Labours plans to get more people with disabilities into work with how they previously helped get more women into work. The answer then was affordable childcare. You can't pay someone to look after your illness or disability while you go out to work.

Had a driving lesson earlier today, and it went really well! I managed to improve on quite a few things, plus I drove for most of the hour-long lesson — not easy for someone dealing with fatigue and pain like me! 🚘 Whoop whoop! 🎉 #learnerdriver
