Winter Solstice 🌘 The longest night, a quiet turning. A moment to pause and reflect: 🕯️What am I ready to let go of? 🕯️What light do I want to invite back in? 🕯️Where do I need rest and warmth? Light returns slowly. We don’t have to rush it.

I have incomplete Cauda Equina Syndrome. Any fall risks permanent damage. That’s why preventable falls — and years of obstruction around housing, care & adaptations — cause real harm. This isn’t emotion, it’s risk. Full context ⬇️ https://t.co/cvSSHZB7Ce

Left arm trapped. Burning sensation in left toes. But I still met Work Well This is daily reality for many disabled people. Falls aren’t “minor” — they’re medical events. Independence ≠ safety. #Sandwell #DisabledVoices #DisabilityAwareness #AccessMatters #DisabledLife ♿💙

First fall + first time using my pendant 🫣 Staff were fab—quick, checked injuries, locked up ❤️. Sore but okay 🧠🤯. Reminder: it helps after, not prevention. #Disability #Accessibility #SandwellStory #Sandwell #SMBC #Safeguarding

This isn’t mess, it’s 10 years evidence. Sorting timelines because patterns don’t lie. I’m AuDHD, disabled, and this is institutional racism and ableism. #DisabilityJustice #AuDHD

Still not enough time to help disabled constituents Sarah?
Always brings a smile to my face when I see Black Country Christmas Cards made by the talented Maisie Stokes 😄 You can see Maisie's work, find out more and grab her cards below - these were in Oldbury Town Centre post office 🙌 https://t.co/MliJFJrdBp

https://t.co/TK7XCooGb2 Told Severe Disability Premium meant transitional protection if work failed. It didn’t. Disabled people shouldn’t be penalised for trying to work. #UniversalCredit #SDP #DisabilityRights #Sandwell

The amount you get depends on whether you were moved to UC through managed migration, or you are entitled to Severe Disability Premium transitional protection.

🤕 Another fall because the temporary 🚽 frame tipped over this morning. Now I have to pay for a pendant to call for people to help me get to when I fall. Also reassessed for care charges without a financial assessment 📝🤯 🤔🤓#audhd 🧠 no Meltdown🤓 https://t.co/DBo0hMiRm8

"Choosing your battles doesn’t mean letting people walk all over you. Sometimes it simply means walking away when you feel yourself getting worked up over something that isn’t as big as it feels. A little space can often save you a lot of stress.” ~Lori Deschene

Nothing exciting or extraordinary, just a minute of a taxi journey enjoying the view🏙️. I'm wearing noise cancelling 🎧 and jamming to Brimful of Asha 🎶 and Johnny Got a Boomboom. I think it's better that way🤓

@SarahCoombesWB I would say the current Labour government are more of a threat to National Security than ghost plates.
