Quite pleased with this article - always remember, Piss on Pity. Especially in the church. tinyurl.com/33bn5crw

Told the tesco man I'm disabled today, gestured to the wheelchair. He brought the crates through to the kitchen, yay! His voice also rose an octave and stayed there, nay!

I have been confronted with an ad for Advent calendars and so it is time for the annual PSA: THE TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS BEGIN ON CHRISTMAS THEY ARE NOT ANY OF THE DAYS LEADING UP TO CHRISTMAS THAT IS ADVENT WHICH BEGINS FOUR SUNDAYS BEFORE CHRISTMAS THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME

I love when you ask an autistic person for something and they're like STAND BY and you know you're about to get the absolute best resources available.

Over 25 years ago I wrote a poem titled 'So Here We Are' after spending a week with the Iona Community. Our week was led by the late, great Kathy Galloway. We were a group of LGBTQ Christians and being with a whole bunch of folk like me was powerful, joyous and formative.

Powerful letter from Clare Herbert in today's Church Times

The single biggest thing that would improve my life as a wheelchair user who can't drive would be a reliable, regular, and reasonably priced public transport system. If it were actually properly accessible that would also be nice.

I learned something new today

I am feeling deeply frustrated with the phrase "a person has deeply held religious beliefs" being code for being transphobic or gender critical. I have deeply held religious beliefs, but I'm (mostly) normal.

I love my job, but is biting my tongue through the "disability awareness" part of the EDI training just something I have to do now?

They're making the sunsets transgender!

Map lovers, may I recommend East Riddlesden Hall? They have an excellent 17th C map of Canaan with annotations from the Old Testament. And they let me use a special torch to read it all.

Postcards and prints are available! Postcards from @newcastlecathedral and online Original prints available online via my website www.wobblygoose.com Sadly it isn't possible to ship to the EU at present due to the new regulations

I bought a Merton College Oxford jumper for the express purpose of wearing to medical appointments. Consultants have frequently taken me more seriously after I've mentioned studying there.

What does community mean to you? 🤔

Mother: I've never known anyone have as much admin to do as you! Me, mentally totting up tasks: mm it's called being disabled

What a wonderful moment in #Synod .The terrible "Issues in Human Sexuality" document has been consigned to the recycling bin with huge support across the Synod, in all Houses and constituencies. Glimmers of hope.

After 6 years and many changes, got a 2:i in my BA in French and Spanish from Oxford! Celebrated with a very very soggy hike

Enjoying reverting to home education pre-exam syllabi. Today I've done German grammar, piano (hymn practice), recorder practice, and started a French novel that nobody is expecting me to write an essay about

Been a while since painsomnia. My crime? Getting too invested in scrubbing the sink and standing for wayyy too long

Welfare reform bill aka terrifying and unfair cuts for disabled ppl passed to committee stage, and on the 1st of Disability Pride Month no less. Possibly with concessions on the 4 point rule, but none of that is actually on paper, just promised. Aaaarghhhhhhh.

new accessibility legislation just dropped (into force)

Finishing my degree means lying in my childhood bedroom reading old story books. Possibly for longer than intended because the stairlift is playing up, but I'm cool with that

Dear @teamlabouruk.bsky.social MPs, We need you to sign the amendment. You cannot, in good conscience, vote for a Green Paper that will affect—quite literally—millions of the most vulnerable people in the country without an Impact Assessment. Work with us. Please sign now. Thanks, Everyone

This is huge! A human rights tribunal found that employers must accommodate remote work for immunocompromised employees Remote work accommodations are something disabled people have needed for decades Covid showed us it’s possible, but ableism & discrimination took it away We all need this right

BREAKING - I understand a large number of MPs - potentially 80+ and including select committee chair are signing a reasoned amendment to the welfare bill which declines to give it a second reading

Fuck the Labour Party, and fuck the Labour Government too. Disabled people aren't some fringe interest group, we're a quarter of the sodding population, and the standpoint that constitutes the perspective prioritising our interests produces insights that matter not just to us, but to everyone.

Two disabled leaders have quit the “stakeholder network” set up to ensure that the voices of disabled people are at the heart of the government’s work, after months – and even years – of “inertia” and a failure to respond to their input. www.disabilitynewsservice.com/two-members-...

A tribunal has allowed ministers to continue to hide vital information from scores of secret reports into deaths of universal credit claimants, just as they publish a new bill that will have a major impact on the working-age benefits system. #DWP www.disabilitynewsservice.com/tribunal-all...

Please. If you're non-disabled/ unaffected, please please please at the very least email your MP. If you're disabled/ affected, I love you, keep fighting, and (if I know you) you can always dm me for support

Last night in college and I managed to trip my electrics... honestly on-brand

Gahhhh. I knew duolingo wasn't a particularly brilliant way to learn German anyway, but I've got a 700+ day streak and now I have to delete it. Back to grammar workbooks for me!

obviously one undergraduate dissertation does not me a disability studies person make, but seeing people in the field I look up to speak out about this shit is awesome and also makes me cry a little bit

If you have experience of sharing self-harm in churches, you might be interested in taking part in this research project (by a researcher I know, who’s working from lived experience). It involves sharing your story through a survey.

"Death has been swallowed up in victory. O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting" - 1 Corinthians 15:54-55 Happy Easter to you all! May you know the power of Jesus' death-defeating resurrection in your life, today and always.

A reflection on the ruling and it’s mirroring of Holy Week actions written by me and @jemparker.bsky.social as we sat in our individual Maundy Thursday Vigils. Please read, please share, please do not turn away. modernchurch.org.uk/a-trans-resp...
