Honestly wish the railway would treat every failed assistance as a safety issue. Because it either directly is, or it's a near miss where changing the passenger or circumstances slightly would pose a safety risk.

Relationships & sexual health education should be inclusive of all bodies. It’s crap that this is still an aspiriational notion rather than something already actively taught.

Celebrated six years with my partner by changing a pull cord switch on the ceiling, which given he has a chronic illness that affects standing up and I have a condition that impacts my dexterity is a sign that our relationship is still strong!

Every time I see a new study that has harvested autistic people's social media posts I feel ill. I'm always terrified that I'll start reading and recognize my words being used for research without being asked to consent. How can researchers not recognize this as extractive?

More and more this year I have realised how much ableism and transphobia are intertwined and that things aren't going to get better for trans people until we seriously address that ableism both within and outside our communities.
