Ministers are facing questions over why the Department for Work and Pensions is using a screening process to filter out potential recruits with health conditions while repeatedly complaining that too many disabled and older people are not in jobs. #DWP www.disabilitynewsservice.com/concern-over...

This is a massive scandal. Labour has invented a made-up tactical vote organisation to trick Gorton and Denton into voting for them. How can this even be legal?

I'm very grateful for the 6 gifts that have been kindly bought for my children 🥰

My gp is amazing. I had blood tests recently. Another doctor called, not my usual. He said i'm mildly anaemic - my choice if I get supplements. Asked if my diet changed, I said we are temporarily reliant on foodbanks. "Ok. Just eat more veg and red meat." I didn't bother saying anything (1/4)

UC have been difficult but I supposedly get UC on 22nd. I dont know how much. They're still moving goal posts. It's hard. On my gift list, I have decorations, gifts i wish I could buy my children, & some of their safe foods. Please consider helping, if you can. www.amazon.co.uk/registries/g...

I have had to claim UC again recently during a period of ill health. They've been monstrous to deal with. It has felt they have actively done anything they can to make applying as difficult as possible. Assuming I survive, I have a fire in belly and a lot of receipts. Fuck that system.

The regime wants to gut the law that allows women to get loans and mortgages without needing a male co signor. This can’t be allowed to happen. Without financial freedom, women become trapped with their fathers & husbands. They become property again.

I've been blocked from seeing my kids again this weekend. My ex is probably a psychopath (i know it is a term that is overused but not this in this case, imo) Please. It you can help me access christmas with my children, I will repay as soon as i can, either back personally or pay it forward.

im starting a rumor that pantone has beef with an ink company and that's why they did this

This is my friend motaz, his page got shut down because of how this place operates. This is his new account and he needs support.

Maika Monroe is a phenomenal actor i love her so much.

I feel so defeated atm

Thanks so much for the shares and donations. I've had a quiet and peaceful weekend with my kids. I really love this painting by my daughter, inspired by the show Uncanny. I only have a WIP from my son's Ender dragon drawing but i'll get a photo of the finished piece tomorrow because it is amazing!

Wow - this guy must be really, REALLY bad with money if an extra £208 per month will “ruin” his retirement. Let’s take a look at his situation based on what he told the @Telegraph Because this does NOT add up! No, this is not a “poor pensioner” scrabbling around for pennies… 🧵1/9

I haven't stopped working for weeks. I'm learning to juggle my work with my health conditions but I will not begin to see much income until after Christmas. I'm escaping domestic abuse which has left me in very restricted conditions. More of my journey is here www.gofundme.com/f/help-a-mum...

Please share to help us ❤️

You are not "failing" if a recovery tool many people find useful doesn't seem to work for you. Everybody's nervous system, trauma, & recovery needs are unique. Don't get in your head about how your recovery contrasts to others-- just focus on YOUR next recovery supporting choice.

After testing toys powered by AI, researchers found that the playthings can easily verge into risky conversational territory for children, including telling them where to find knives in a kitchen and how to start a fire with matches. Merry Christmas children! 🔪🔥💀🎄 futurism.com/artificial-i...

But my children deserve some sort of Christmas experience with their mother. Please consider helping us. These four gifts on my list that are reduced dramatically would be fantastic gifts for my kids. I cannot afford to get them, even at their reduced cost. They will be up in price again soon.

How to combat SWer burnout part 7

One of the perhaps lesser-known DWP/Job Centre balancing acts: wear enough makeup to show you are taking this seriously by ‘making an effort’, but not so much that it makes us question how sick/disabled you are (yes, I got docked assessment points for this when I was but a fledgling benefits bitch)

This time of year is always the hardest emotionally for me. So the games that I'll be re-playing are going to be connected to cycles of Greif, death and life. I may not finish them but I will be lost in the soundtracks and Atmospheres~

yes.

I honestly feel us vulnerables need some sort of a buddy system so we aren't left alone with NHS staff. This is despicable.

Another awful experience with the NHS here. At such a vulnerable time... Wtf is it with classist, ableist health 'care' staff?

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

I still have to share this. Me & my kids need to be reunited. I don't feel great about this but the restrictions placed on me by my ex make this necessary. They have health problems being ignored. Restrictions from being with me. They need me, a lot. I am working very hard and as much as I can.

My step-father's gambling addiction also destroyed us. He became violent towards my mum whenever he lost money (every other day.) They don't care about that side of stuff, of course. They just silence the victims so they can carry on profiting from our misery.

Oh, my doctor did the hEDS test on me and I scored high and so i have a referral for a rheumatologist now! He said it is a very long wait.

I've been quiet because I just launched a huge Choose Your Own Adventure system on my OF. It has erotic fiction, live interaction, photos, vids, & mini games to release the increasingly spicy content. All in one delivery. Cant advertise it here but IT'S SO COOL & i'm going to talk about it a lot.

The Salvation Army are a hate group. Do not forget that this winter.

psst reminder to book your appointments for flu and covid shots if you haven't already. just do it right now it takes two seconds ok xoxo

Partner pointed out how surprising it is that these aren't electric vehicles (unless we are mistaken and they are. But i think they're landrover defenders.) Being a big show like Celebrity Traitors, using electric cars would surely be a better public image? It clearly isn't out of budget.

A £50 donation to my fundraiser just now 😭

I've asked UC three times for a food bank voucher, they've ignored me every time?! Wtf is that about?!

GP appointment tomorrow to talk about hair loss, blue lips, numb legs & arms, temperature regulation, feeling so tired i often feel I'm dying, being so stressed I feel at the edge of another breakdown etc. Hope he can help me. He is the first GP I've found who I trust so that's something.

Food shopping on a very tight budget... Spar has a frozen meal deal. It would feed me, partner & 2yo today, & 2yo tomorrow. 5 items for £6... 1 of the 5 items, Spar fish fingers, was out of stock... So they wouldn't let me have the deal 😤I had to spend £19 when I should have spent £12!

👽 Call for Submissions! 👽 We're excited to announce we're accepting pitches for sex worker sci-fi and speculative fiction for a new anthology titled Liquid Silver, edited by @miawalsch.bsky.social . Submissions are open until Dec. 31st, check out the details below! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

People really think the primary connection between disability & SW is disabled clients. But a disproportionate number of SW are disabled ourselves. You only don't know that bc it doesn't fit the stereotypes that claim disabled people aren't sexy & SW all look the same

I'd really appreciate anyone sharing this. I couldn't see my children this weekend. I had a bad mental health reaction but I have picked myself up quickly. I am working as hard as I possibly can, in multiple areas, to try and get into a stable position. Please help me and my children, if you can.

I've made some adult templates for OnlyFans and Fansly. I finally got them listed on Etsy and Gumroad! If any fellow #cammodels are looking for fun ways to deliver seasonal content, please drop me a message and I'll link you. #disabledsexworker #sexwork #camgirltips #cammodel

Quite pleased that several people have listed 'Nic Cage' as a movie genre

You cant parachute asylum seekers into deprived areas, in completely inappropriate housing, then say those migrants are 'dividing our country'. You divided the country because you can't organise a basic service and process claims in a timely way

Intelligent, purposeful, temporary avoidance can absolutely be a trauma recovery tool-- as long as we don't confuse it w/ reflexive, mindless, symptomatic avoidance. In any realistic recovery arc, there are times for confrontation AND avoidance. Neither should be our default.

What actually happened is the opposite of "woke". There is a turkey shortage because of bird flu. You know the sort of thing animal welfare regulations and consumer protections might have prevented if not for decades of deregulation.
