Back in January one of my disabled pals made the difficult choice to quit her degree because her university wouldn't allow her to study from home. Then, two months later she watched the accommodations made so easily for thousands of others when lockdown happened.

Let me say this once again: Iโ€™m not a person with a disability, Iโ€™m a disabled person. Disabled isnโ€™t a bad word so I donโ€™t need reminding Iโ€™m a person first.

Vouchers and claiming back benefits like theyโ€™re expenses is controlling disabled peoples money because we donโ€™t deserve treats. Itโ€™s catering to the sad little losers who tell me to get a job and that I canโ€™t really be disabled if I get my nails done

We needed nondisabled people to fight for us in December 2020 when 6 in 10 covid deaths in the UK were disabled people, irrelevant of the fact of the person was actually vulnerable to the virus. Meanwhile you were all more concerned with "saving Christmas"

I started a whole goddamn publication because I was sick of being told stories of disabled people fighting to survive from a virus that was killing the most vulnerable wasn't "newsworthy". Disabled people have been fighting whilst collectively grieving for almost 2 years

Psa to disabled writers/journos: if a nondisabled editor changes the language of your work to person first or not something the community uses you're allowed to tell them.

I am so drained from constantly having to defend disabled people's right to be supported and live. It shouldn't be a debate. Welfare is designed to support those most vulnerable, not be a witch hunt of turning the public against us. Where's your humanity?

This was a busy crossing, people watched him say this and either agreed or let it happen. I know it's not that vicious in terms of things disabled people get said to them but it was still mean.

Disabled people deserve to live despite how much they "contribute", this is fascist ideology that would lead to our deaths.

the ยฃ10 DWP christmas bonus hasn't gone up with inflation in 50 years. When it was launched it was enough to buy a Christmas dinner and some presents. Now the cheapest turkey joint in Asda is ยฃ8.50
