Firecracker

This was me literally dying in hospital. I’ve still got a lot of weight on me in this picture. I had the love, support and faith from other patients with ME and EDS stood up for me and helped me in the most dire time of my life.

@Starbucks He was fat shaming my disabled daughter who was scared and shaking. My heart was racing so fast but I could have knocked him out if he had kept going. Starbucks staff didn’t ask if we were ok, in fact they ignore us all. Not even an offer to call the police. @StarbucksUK

@Starbucks didn’t care!! This is outrageous as customers who were on your property and yet you don’t sort trouble out. I was called ‘spastic’, ‘cripple’ and fake because I got out of my wheelchair and got the man at the scruff of his shirt to move him on. You don’t mess with my family!

@BladeoftheS My 23 year old daughter. Disabled from birth. Hydrocephalus. Hole in skull. Learning disabled. Autistic. Severe epilepsy.... Took 10 months to get disability UC. I had to take her for work based interview every week. She can't read, write, dress....🤔

"Non pharmaceutical treatment of CFS" "Sharpe admits there was no scientific foundation for his promotion of CBT as a treatment for #ME Ignoring all evidence of pathology, he aimed to merely change the beliefs of #pwME. It was hidden away as part of the 'Secret Files'."

Disability benefits are more than a simple cash transfer to those who receive them. Our new report with @ProBonoEcon highlights why the government should not rush to any decision to reduce disability benefit claims. 👉Read the full report: z2k.org/more-than-mone…

@SoniaPoulton Love this! ❤️

Morning coffee time is a chance for me to ponder and just allow my mind to roam wherever it wants without the time constraints of the day ahead. I wanted to share my thoughts today. It may resonate with some. It’s my experience and observation that too many people spend their time punching down or punching sideways when we should be collectively giving a big unforgettable and unrecoverable punch upwards at those who are really creating the problems. I think social media is a brilliantly effective tool but it’s also got people at each other’s throats and spending hour upon hour arguing over BS. Consuming important energy, distracting from what’s important. The predator class running our world still get away with it because their propaganda agents in all forms of media have us focused on division and we spend endless time fighting amongst ourselves, pulling each other down and failing to effectively tackle them. This is just as they like it because it distracts us nicely as they continue to steal what is ours and limit our freedoms in a world that belongs to all of us not just those with money. I always try and remember who the real enemy is and not to lose sight of that because one day I want people held to account and I’m hoping I’ve done enough to be blessed with a chance to watch it. Happy Wednesday, all.

This Christmas has been so hard without my mum. She passed in November from a serious brain bleed. The nursing home said the bruising on her temple,around the eye and into the hairline was from sleeping funny! The police and coroner are involved 😭#Grief #NursingHomeNightmare

JK Rowling pushing negative stereotypes about minorities? Where have i heard this before? At least he's called something unique and not the usual JKism of "Baddie McWheely" or something.

Cochrane tells ME/CFS patients to go f--k themselves: virology.ws/2024/12/17/tri…

@SO3_Craic He has been involved in a business who claims to cure ME, there is no known cause and so no known cure. It’s been very harmful to those with ME. His brother-in-law is still invested even though the disabled community have hit back. He’s dangerous

I’m not a fan of Steven Bartlett but the balls on the BBC to accuse someone else of sharing “health misinformation”.

@YourCareerflex @NJBeisner Ok this goes to show you don’t know what you’re talking about. I’ve gone months without food. I know what it is like to be starving and malnutrition. Stop check yourself first

How is this possible for a woman to do? And I mean that physically and emotionally and mentally.

@ruamac @Racquers27 @shirabatya @Ms_H_Survivor @Baroness_Nichol @RosieDuffield1 That’s men in general, we are talking about a minority group. Predators don’t need to dress up as women, they will do it in whatever they have on. You have a right to say no to personal care, so the problem then is what? Educate yourself

@Fighting4M_E @Racquers27 @shirabatya @Ms_H_Survivor @Baroness_Nichol @RosieDuffield1 There's a small % of men who prey on women walking alone at night. And what are we told? Don't walk alone at night! Now you're saying what is tantamount to, 'Walk alone at night. Only a small % of men . . .' Since when did all the talk about situational awareness get reversed?

@darcwood @Racquers27 @shirabatya @Ms_H_Survivor @Baroness_Nichol @RosieDuffield1 Keep posting, it’s getting rather amusing 🍿

@HappyGammon @Racquers27 @shirabatya @Ms_H_Survivor @Baroness_Nichol @RosieDuffield1 Yep, explains a lot

@Fighting4M_E @Racquers27 @shirabatya @Ms_H_Survivor @Baroness_Nichol @RosieDuffield1 Why should it? I wear mine like a badge of honour

@ThisLeadenPall @Racquers27 @TartSweetTart @shirabatya @Ms_H_Survivor @Baroness_Nichol @RosieDuffield1 Personal care means intimate care. It’s very different. You can have a male nurse but request personal care like pad changes or examinations etc to be done by a biological female. So if her or the baby life , or both, were in danger you’d just say no?

@Fighting4M_E @Racquers27 @TartSweetTart @shirabatya @Ms_H_Survivor @Baroness_Nichol @RosieDuffield1 Of course she has personal care, she’s on a maternity unit. She is entitled to same sex care.

@Contrary_Mary_2 @Racquers27 @ThisLeadenPall @shirabatya @Ms_H_Survivor @Baroness_Nichol @RosieDuffield1 been cared for in hospital by a trans female nurse. I think I have a good idea what it is like a lot more than you and not only am I educated but I’m not narrow minded and go with the ignorance. Stay stupid Mary Mary

@Contrary_Mary_2 @Racquers27 @ThisLeadenPall @shirabatya @Ms_H_Survivor @Baroness_Nichol @RosieDuffield1 At what point did I say she didn’t have a right to say no? In fact, I made a point of saying that. So the problem then just lays in the fact that she doesn’t like the fact a trans woman is just working a job. Your posts talk for themselves and I’ve worked in the NHS and have
