Able bodied people don’t realise how terrifying it is hearing, as a high risk/disabled person, that my death may happen soon??? If we are all about to catch COVID, this means for many of us that we need to start preparing for our fucking death?? Do they not realise this???????

Lismore is receiving NO SUPPORT from the government. As other ppl have said, Lismore has been left for dead. There’s still NO POWER. What the fuck is going on?! People have died, vulnerable people are still struggling to survive over there. Needs more media coverage!!! #NSWFloods

Disabled people are NOT bad or lazy for not having a job, nor spending the day, or week, in bed. Not bad or lazy for ordering food delivery, or getting high frequently. We are doing our absolute best to survive as comfortably as we can with what we have been given!!!

I lost my job today bc I’m too disabled to offer my boss more hours, so he decided it wasn’t worth keeping me anymore. So I’m now unemployed once again. Too disabled to keep a job, not disabled enough to be on DSP. I don’t know how I’m going to afford to live.

We’re not bad people for eating junk food either. Sometimes the only thing I look forward to is having a silly snack. It’s hard being alive most of the time. If it means I gotta get high, eat chocolate and lay around playing games to get though the day, then that’s fine.

People think their freedom is hindered because they have to wear a mask, imagine being immunocompromised and it not being safe enough to go outside or have visitors. That’s what it looks like to have an absence of β€œfreedom”. Do they not realise their incredible advantage in this?

Was told just the other day by my DES consultant that they can’t and will not do phone appointments, only face-to-face. I questioned it, because I knew this was incorrect, but she didn’t say why, just that she can’t do them by phone, even if it would be β€œeasier for everyone”.
