themusingsofspu.com/blog/ My new blog post is up & it’s all about the #WelfareReforms & other realities for #DisabledPeople in the UK. It comes with a #TriggerWarning @lizoriordan.bsky.social @thankscancer.bsky.social @welliesnseaweed.bsky.social #TakingThePip #Fight4Life #AccessToWorkCollective

#AccessToNowhere is a campaign led by #DisabledPeople demanding urgent reform to #AccessToWork - a scheme meant to support disabled people in employment. Instead, it’s failing us. 📢 Help us! 1. Sign the open letter lnkd.in/eKp-deeC 2. Write to your MP lnkd.in/e4Ph__6r 3. Share this post!

Up yours to this government & their despicable #WelfareReforms If you think you’re going take my #PIP then I’m going to live my best life & run rings around you! #BeingIllIsNotACrime #Fightback Solidarity with my #DisabledCommunity #TakingThePip & @fight4lifeuk.bsky.social

#OnlineProtest #StayAtHomeProtest STOP this government from #TakingThePip because being ill isn’t a crime & neither is asking for help. No one should fear growing old, getting sick or becoming disabled in the UK! @fight4lifeuk.bsky.social - Solidarity with all my #DisabledCommunity

Excl: Disabled Labour MP says disability benefits concessions would create ‘unethical two-tier system’. Olivia Blake, one of only nine MPs in parliament who has a disclosed disability, urges her colleagues to vote against the bill. My story: www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Thousands of disabled women could find themselves trapped with abusers as a result of the government’s upcoming welfare cuts, campaigners have warned, despite Keir Starmer offering concessions on the reforms late on Thursday www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

I’m proud to say that I passed Stage 1 of @agreenerfuture.bsky.social & @falmouthuniversity.bsky.social Sustainability training! Thanks to Angel Funding for helping me pay for my studies. #ClimateSustainability #LiveEvents #Training #SustainableSolutionsForLiveEvents #ShortCourses

themusingsofspu.com/blog/ I’ve been modelling with @breastcancernow.bsky.social once again! Prepare for pure pink joy & frank discussions about being a disabled model! @lizoriordan.bsky.social @thankscancer.bsky.social @welliesnseaweed.bsky.social

breastcancernow.org/wear-it-pink... So happy to be featured in @breastcancernow.bsky.social #WearItPink campaign for 2025. Because #DisabledPeople get #BreastCancer (I did) #WearItPinkDay in the UK is 24th October! ID: I’m sitting in my wheelchair wearing a pink dress & a pink tasselled jacket.

Jack Thorne is absolutely right!

The government must create a “compassionate” benefits system which does not “demonise people for needing social security support” to prevent further deaths of claimants, the Work and Pensions Select Committee chair has warned www.bigissue.com/news/social-...

takingthepip.co.uk join the campaign to STOP the UK government’s proposed cuts to #PIPbenefit & #AccessToWork - they risk putting 1.3 million people in more poverty & #DisabledPeople losing their jobs (& the government’s drive is meant to be getting disabled people into employment 🤷‍♀️)

👊 #TakingThePip Why is it a crime to be ill? Why is it a crime to ask for help to live your best life? Why is it a crime to be supported at work? Allies of the #DisabledCommunity this is the time to show up for your #DisabledFamilyMembers #DisabledFriends #DisabledColleagues 💜 👇

Adding my voice to the #TakingThePip campaign & asking our government to STOP these barbaric & inhumane cuts to the #DisabledCommunity Up to 1.3 million people could be forced into poverty & this is a crisis!

Call for NHS to give women with dense breasts extra cancer scans - important advances in #BreastCancer detection & treatment

themusingsofspu.com/blog/ May’s blog is written by Kate Fox. As with most of us who are disabled & then get diagnosed with #BreastCancer they have quite a story to tell. @breastcancernow.bsky.social @thankscancer.bsky.social @welliesnseaweed.bsky.social @breastcancerchatww.bsky.social

Thinking about Mike Peters & his family & friends tonight. He was a brilliant musician but what he did for those living with cancer was extraordinary generous & kind. X

Hurrah! My new @selfesteem.music-social.com.ap.brid.gy album has arrived #IAmAComplicatedWomanToo ❤️

“Disabled women are seen as statistics and stereotypes – reduced entirely to our disabilities, or robbed of the dignity of being believed we have one.” I wrote about Britain’s growing cohort of disabled women and why we need to change the narrative. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

stoptrump.org.uk/petition-can... What happened to President Zelensky yesterday was disgusting. He’s a brave man, fighting to protect the ppl of Ukraine. Sir Keir Starmer must stand with Europe & we must all stand strong against #Dictatorships

America, why is this even happening? What an earth is going on over there?
