Reading Anne Boyer's 'The Undying' and thinking about cancer, me/CFS, invisible illness, and the magical thinking that attends. #cancerwriting #mecfs #millionsmissing #invisibleillness #theundying #disabilitywriting #disabledwriter

I made these stickers - trying to find direction for my rage - and the print shop sent me an extra sheet. And look: there's one missing. I'm hoping it's up in their bathroom at work. #transrightsarehumanrights #therighttopee #transliberation #stickers #supremecourtuk

Disabled women know more than most how blocking access to toilets isn’t a minor inconvenience - it’s a form of segregation from everyday life. It is turning down drinks with friends as you worry you can’t fulfil a basic human need if you go out. And knowing society has made the choice not to care.

My sore, exhausted, ill folk - another tip to help with PIP. To quote Sorcha who I wrote with recently: we belong in the future. Pls also see pinned post for more. 🧵...

Great piece on #Trans and #Disability justice from @disrightsuk.bsky.social "When we start to question who deserves access to bodily autonomy and who doesn’t, it becomes a deathly game. A game Disabled people never win." www.disabilityrightsuk.org/news/trans-a...

SKEAR ZINES CALL OUT! We wanna make zine first aid kits that explore care for planet, community, self. One will be 'traditional' folded paper, one will be in a matchbox, and one a postcard. More detail at link, closing date is 13th June. #zines #skearzines #firstaid #newwriting shorturl.at/NSKhQ

This gem from Katelyn Burns has honestly set me up for the week. Every time an anti-trans bigot calls herself a feminist, Simone de Beauvoir turns in her grave.

My trans siblings, we are and always have been part of nature, part of the vast biodiversity of our home planet... pt 1 🧵 #natureistrans #transrightsarehumanrights #lgbwiththet #lgbtqia #standupfightback #supremecourtuk #uksupremecourt #lgbtqia

THURS 12 noon GMT online: Disabled artists from Jav, Bali, Cardiff and Liverpool talk about mark making in the places that disempower us & the value of mural and street art as hyper-local radical activism. FINAL CALL 4 TIX shorturl.at/c3twl #disabilityarts #streetart #cripcreative #dadafest

I respond best to dares rather than requests/suggestions, so here's one for you - PIP, disabled art brilliance, and a little dare to warm your creative hands against. #newsletter #OhNo #CreativeDare #DisabilityArt #DisabilityJustice #PIP #DisbeliefDisregard mishgreen.substack.com/p/creative-d...

Last call for tix! Thursday night, we dig into Manctopia using short stories as shovels and see what's under the suddenly reflective surface... With @fatroland.bsky.social @bronteschiltz.bsky.social and me! #shortstories #homelessness #manchesterlit #placewriting

Some tips for anyone scared shitless by the UK government's recent comments on disability support and PIP - a practical thread #chronicillness #disabilityjustice #pip #disabilitybenefits #mentalillness #invisibleillness #longcovid #mecfs #millionsmissing

My fellow chronically ill and disabled folk in the UK: you’ve probably seen headlines about how the government wants to drastically cut off Personal Independence Payments (PIP), the only disability support benefit that is available to everyone whether you’re in paid work or not. Long thread 🧵...

Last call for tix! Tomorrow (Mon) at noon, we get into care, creativity, chronic fatigue and disability as part of the most favourite project I've been part of recently. #disability #chronicfatigue #mecfs #longcovid #autoimmune #artforhealth #spokenword #audioproduction

I am full-body chuffed to be part of the great DaDaFest International, and on their big round number year 40 no less! This year's theme: RAGE. Ah, the resonance. #MillionsMissing #MECFS #LongCovid #Rage #DisabilityArts #NotInspirational

This is what we mean when we say art is a survival strategy. It is. Especially when we do it together. I *adored* being part of this project and have learned so much from my fellow ill and disabled and crip artists. #disabilityart #artactivism #chronicillness #nothingaboutuswithoutus

My story for this book has obsessed me for years - 'Occupy Manctopia' is a bareknuckle love letter to the city that welcomed me home. I'm SO glad to be doing this live event with the brilliantly insightful and animated @fatroland.bsky.social and @bronteschiltz.bsky.social - come join us! #manctopia

"The hardest part was to let them tell their stories without [re-]traumatizing them," says Snoopy [director]. "We managed that by going through therapy before shooting. We had to ensure that we healed and passed on that healing." 1/2

Sharing this brilliant podcast again, now I can tag @mishgreen.bsky.social who made it based on workshops with participants with energy limiting conditions. If you have time and spoons to listen, I highly recommend it #Crip #DisabilityJustice #NEISVoid

LIVESTREAM LINK NOW UP 'MAGICAL ANIMALS: a tribute to Jackie Hagan' is going live at 7pm BST on Sat 1st Feb - click the linktree in my biog, then click the top link there. All profits going to Scleroderma and Raynaud's UK. #spokenword #poetry #disabledartist #queerlit #queercrip #missyou

a huge part of disability justice is making it so it's less dangerous for us to exist in public, and wearing a respirator when u go out, even if u dont feel sick, is the main way to do that rn

It's time for another emergency edition of Tank Girl. Spirits up, we will not roll over or go quietly. Reach for the art that helps, and each other. #transrightsarehumanrights #nooneisillegal #tankgirl

I'm so tired of it. Neil Gaiman claiming autism. Musk claiming autism. Autism doesn't make you do terrible, terrible things. Stop. Blaming. Autism.
