"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.

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

No one claims disability benefits because they are entitled. Applying is dehumanising and involves not only a stack of evidence that disability is well established, but also intrusive, very often triggering questions about very intimate parts of our lives. I shall be complaining.

"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

It's a travesty it's happening again. Final filming on Pine Oak Court completed, one final week of filming left The show is as strong as ever. It's unnecessary, it really is. And it will be sorely missed. "All roads led back to Ramsay Street." #SaveNeighbours #Neighbours

The below post is absolute nonsense and full of misinformation to spread hate against disabled people. Motability cars ARE NOT FREE and can cost £100s in non refundable up front costs. Also there is absolutely no way you would qualify for Motabiliy for the conditions stated as

For anyone looking for a book that has authentic and relatable #chronicillness and #disability representation then I thoroughly recommend #TheChemistryTest. I am almost half-way through and am loving it. So many of the situations/thoughts/comments are ones I too have experienced
