"People vehemently believe that there are safety nets in place if you become disabled. That no matter what, you have all your needs met. If you believe this, you're in for a rude awakening if you ever become disabled." Briana Mills, LMFT ♿️🏳️🌈 #DisabilityPrideMonth #DisabilityAwareness


Happy days! Just been called a 'scrounger' because I'm disabled! Thankyou so much Liz Kendall for fuelling the hateful narrative towards people like me, for whom getting through each day is a battle. It's lovely being the subject of hate on a daily basis 👍 Cheers for that.

"Some may say that I talk about my #chronicillness too much. But in truth, the amount of time I talk about my condition is inconsequential compared to the thoughts and impact it has on my life." brainlesionandme.com/why-i-dont-alw… via Rhiann Johns #ChronicallyIll #InvisibleIllness

Just finished the brilliant #WeAreAllaGuiltyHere by the superb writer Karin Slaughter! What a masterpiece of a book - utterly captivating and gripping. Every word, every sentence felt like that it catapulted me right into the action. The characters were so superb too - love Emmy



"Now, I embrace my #disability with open arms. I don’t do things in spite of it—I do them because I’m #disabled and proud. I’m grateful for the strength and community it brings." disableddahling.wordpress.com/2025/07/02/ack… via Raimie Jeffery #DisabilityTwitter #DisabilityPrideMonth

"But what lies beneath that relief is an entire catalogue of side effects—ones that can sometimes feel as debilitating as the illness itself." crackednailsandsplitends.co.uk/blog/living-wi… via C N & S E Blog #ChronicIllness #ChronicPain #ChronicallyIll #InvisibleIllness #ChronicLife



"It’s impossible not to notice how the words 'sex and #disability' are rarely used in the same sentence. It’s assumed I don’t have a #sex life, that I don’t want one, that I surely don’t consider myself a sexual being." vogue.co.uk/article/disabl… via Jennifer McShane & British Vogue


"The stories in the media make it sound easy to claim #benefits which bear no resemblance to the system I and others navigate. Instead, it’s a stressful, miserable and demoralising experience." brainlesionandme.com/im-on-benefits… via Rhiann Johns #DisabilityBenefits #Disability



Thank you Carrie Kellenberger - SpA & Fibro Advocate for sharing my words on the heartbreaks of life with #chronicillness - of which there are many! #ChronicPain #ChronicallyIll #InvisibleIllness #ChronicLife
