The NYT obituary of Alice Wong doesn't mention COVID fucking once

saw a man in Sainsbury's today and his trolley was literally 8 avocados, 4 packs of noodles and some chorizo. Genuinely, how do men survive?

Those who want Assisted Dying to go through keep trying to sway public opinion, but those opposed always prove them wrong (me for @thecanaryuk.bsky.social www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/...

Disability Pay Gap Day shows Labour don’t actually care about supporting us into work Me for @thecanaryuk.bsky.social www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/...

Most boring man in politics to be ousted by the second most boring man in politics, allegedly. But what is the Streeting vs Starmer "fight" really a smokescreen for? (via @thecanaryuk.bsky.social) www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/...

LOCALS I'll be the surprise (not at all last minute) 4th guest at tonight's Arty Parti live podcast recording at Diegos in Sunderland as part of University of Sunderland's Creative Industries Week Info and Tickets here (I'm replacing Jonny Smith FYI): artyparti.com/events

Heard the BEST insult at the weekend: "he sounds like someone who wanks with the big light on”

Yesterday was the 30th anniversary of the Disability Discrimination Act. The absolute tumbleweed from the media & gov shows just how much they want to bury how much disabled people fought and still fight for our rights.

It's here!! Thank you, @rachelcdailey.bsky.social and @biggreenbooks.bsky.social!

Okay this is going to annoy me all day, in like 2020ish there was someone Trump appointed to something with a hilarious name involving the word Dick, what was it hive mind?

Delighted to be chairing this discussion with my anthropologist/activist hat on with @rachelcdailey.bsky.social @samgoncalveshorton.bsky.social and Dan Glazebrook on Saturday in Edinburgh 💜 Come along if you’re around!

Millions of Americans are going to go hungry without SNAP (aka food stamps. What was Trump doing while this happened? Literally partying with billionaires of course www.thecanary.co/global/world...

Baby’s first book shop window!!! Thank you @lighthousebks.bsky.social I’ll be at Edinburgh’s Radical Book Fair on Saturday on an excellent panel - Reframing Resistance. Both IRL + online lighthousebookshop.com/events/refra...

There isn’t a “war on Christmas” it’s just that Christmas is 9 letters long and it wastes space on packaging when everyone knows what holiday mince pies are for

SO looking forward to this discussion next Saturday at the Radical Book Fair

Done crap at sharing my @thecanaryuk.bsky.social articles on here so here's some pieces I'm proud of lately 🧵

I'm calling it, lads. Golden from KPop Demon Hunters is the new Let It Go. Haven't seen a room full of kids scream along to a song this loud and know every single bloody word since Frozen

Amazing that, even now, we’re still nodding and buying the ‘sex addiction’ thing from men who absolutely cannot go without sticking their dick in another person. It sounds like something a child would make up.

The final stop on the Ramping Up Rights book tour (of this year) will be at @lighthousebks.bsky.social Edinburgh's Radical Book Fair on 8th Nov. I'll be on the Reframing Resistance panel at 2:30. As well as in person, it'll be streamed online: lighthousebookshop.com/events/refra...

Hello if you're new here, I'm a disability rights journalist, activist and author. Currently write for @thecanaryuk.bsky.social and my disability rights history book, Ramping Up Rights is also out now. AND of course I'm dog mam to Rusty (pictured) linktr.ee/rachelcdailey

23.5K families lost child benefit for going on holiday thanks to "fraud crackdown" If the gov can fuck up this epically with something as easy as who's in the country, how can we possibly trust them with disability benefit reforms? me for @thecanaryuk.bsky.social www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/...

stop buying halloween decorations from temu you losers

It's #Strictly Come Canary week 5! I am powering through this lads not gonna lie. I love this show, but Jesus, it's been a weird one this series @thecanaryuk.bsky.social www.thecanary.co/trending/202...

we've been working hard on ignoring food that gets dropped on the ground, cos my fine motor skills get worse in the cold and someones a dustbin. So here's Rusty definitely not seeing his doggy bacon cos I forgot to say he could have it 😂

Happy 6am to everyone with small animals or children who think time is a construct but it is definitely 7am

My fellow Canary writer, Alaa, and his family (including 5 children) in Gaza need our support to move to Egypt to rebuild their lives. Please give what you can www.gofundme.com/f/help-the-m...

West Horsley Place said get fucked, Ghosts fans, we're kicking this pensioner out anyway

Chancellor’s reported plans to impose #VAT on #Motability could add £3,000 to even the cheapest cars for disabled people on the scheme www.disabilitynewsservice.com/chancellors-...

Multiple media outlets on at me to talk about the "CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS IS HAPPENING TO DISABLED PEOPLE" of the week, the kid who worked unpaid in Waitrose. But just 3 weeks ago you were all lauding Reeve's plans to force under 21s into similar placements. So no thanks

It's that time of year again... time for #DisabledInSTEM 2026 Mentorship applications! I'm so excited to be running this program for the sixth year and seeing the growth over the years! Mentee form: forms.gle/um5DvYnBi3tn... Mentor form: forms.gle/BvaxnQm8uhUR... Applications due December 5th!

Assisted Dying Bill is reaching Lords Committee stages and it's getting even more corrupt as it finds even more ways to escape scrutiny @thecanaryuk.bsky.social #AssistedDying #AssistUsToLive www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/...

Over 200 people protested outside the UK’s only female migrant detention centre in Durham this weekend @thecanaryuk.bsky.social www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/...

My head hurts. Petition in thread.

I'm not in Ghosts fandom, but as a fan generally I would never want my interest in a show to displace someone from their home and community and I'd definitely never pay for an experience that came at so high a cost. Email address for WHP & petition in thread - let them know it!

it’s a public service really

Petition to stop West Horsley Place evicting a 71 yo woman to turn her cottage into a holiday home for Ghosts fans is nearly at 1k! Please sign if you can (not mine) www.change.org/p/stop-evict...

This is absolutely vile. I get that Ghosts fans bring West Horsley Place a LOT of tourism, but this is disgusting. To evict a 70 year old woman who's lived there 20 years for a holiday cottage for fans?? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Ghosts fans please stop and take a moment to read this petition. Baschea Walsh could be evicted from her home on site with West Horsley Place to build a holiday let for Fans when visiting. Whilst it’s legal we think it’s absolutely unfair. Please share! #BBCGhosts www.change.org/p/stop-evict...
