Bandwagon meet jumping. I'll be remaining active on X/Twitter, but come follow me anyway or drop your username below so I can find you! I'm boring, so yes it's the same username.

The next time someone non-disabled comments on my ability to drive my wheelchair, I'm commenting on their ability to walk.

Just been filmed getting on the bus for the West Yorkshire Bus Consultation. Disability rep matters!

STOP BEING WEIRD TO DISABLED PEOPLE. Over the weekend, a man literally bent down towards me and did a thumbs up in my face, like hailing a bus. Because I use a wheelchair so that's funny, I guess? I literally cannot go out on a night out without something like this happening.

Alice was an inspiration, not because she was disabled, but because she never let the bastards grind her down. To say she will be missed is simply an understatement. For Alice.

1/ Housing is the defining issue of our time. As California's average home prices approach $1 million, @CSElmendorf and Ed Glaeser, America's leading urban economists, call on California to stop the vetocracy and BUILD. MORE. HOMES. 🇺🇸 From today's @latimes:

The instruction manual didn't mention having to remove the cat between each step of assembly.

As we pass each other, this fucking guy pats me twice on the shoulder like I'm a child. Like a proper "there, there" pat. WTF. I'm super weirded out. I'm sure he meant no harm but don't fucking do that. No fucking touchy.

Story time. Over the weekend I'm going one way in my wheelchair, a stranger is going the other way, and we do that awkward left-right dance to try and get past each other. Fine, actually kind of a nice normal interaction. But oh no, it's gotta be ruined.

I'd also love to know what job theyre doing that can be done entirely from home with no more effort or time commitment than writing a tweet
I find it so weird that many non-disabled people are convinced they know what disabled people are capable of more than we do. “You can tweet so you can work.” Don’t you think we know what our capabilities are? The audacity to think you know someone’s body better than they do.

Wore my keffiyeh into work this morning, and while in the lift a hijabi lass said she liked it because she could tell I was one of the safe ones. I hate that marginalised communities feel unsafe, but if something so simple helps, I'm wearing this every time I go outside.

Where's the freedom of speech crowd now people are being arrested for displaying a photograph of the US President and his pedo buddy?

One of many differences between sex offenders and disabled people, that continues to confuse Reform voters, is that only one of those groups goes on a register.

The risk of not being able to get on the train, not being able to get in the wheelchair space, not being able to get off the train, and being blamed by staff for any issues while paying through the nose for the privelege was simply not worth it.

Was supposed to be going somewhere this weekend, but lack of investment in the north means there's no bus between 2 places an hour apart. No biggie, right? Except, the prospect of having to navigate trains as a disabled person at short notice put me off going altogether.

My favourite genre of man is the ones that get visibly confused when I don't automatically move out of their way.
