The comments are so nasty. People are dehumanising him by calling him 'it' or an 'empty shell'. They're saying he should have been killed. Disabled people deserve to live!.
A boy born without a brain defied all odds and lived until age 12. Trevor Judge Waltrip, born in 2001 in Shreveport, Louisiana, had a rare condition where his cerebral hemispheres were missing. Expected to survive only weeks, he passed away on August 25, 2014.

Nice, now do the same for Palestine.
One of the many reasons I am proud of this Labour Government under Keir Starmer is that we have stuck unflinchingly by Ukraine whatever the political weather.

I've never seen a beaver before and if I saw one, I'd be so excited and take a picture to show people. Sadly, some people look at pregnant Asian people the same way I look at beavers and think it's acceptable to photograph them without consent.

I had a random hEDS flare today and it made me a bit wobbly when walking. I nearly fell on someone which was a bit embarrassing but I can look back and laugh. This is also a reason by I don't like the 'cyclists dismount' signs.
