Writer, thinker, changemaker, mum. Long covid since 2022. Based in Manchester, UK.
It seems like as of tomorrow it could well be considered illegal for me to share this blog (written a year ago), which is pretty wild. Maybe give it a read it now while you still can...

With Palestine Action due to be proscribed next week, now seems like a good time to share this blog I wrote last year. I hadn't grasped the full impact of proscription when I wrote it, but I think the basic message still stands.

Just been catching up on the details of the planning bill via

's typically excellent and informative column - and I have to say, I take absolutely no pleasure at all in how right this turned out to be.

Damning reflection on the UK government's inhumane cuts to disability benefits - and a wider thought on how people who think they are good, can allow themselves to do great harm to others...

I wrote a thing about the unreality of the debate on disability benefits, where it comes from and how it affects us. It cost a few spoons to do it, but I think it would have cost more not to. Have a read if you're interested:

Spot on from
@patmillsuk.bsky.social
👏 - as a disabled person it's genuinely really cheering to have this solidarity at a time when the rhetoric coming from other quarters feels so draining and dispiriting. Thanks friends.

Finally, someone points to the elephant in the room. Thank you
@francesryan.bsky.social
- long covid sufferers have been feeling like we're going mad sitting here watching the disability benefits debate unfold. It's like an exercise in mass gaslighting.
