Chronic illness teaches you how to operate at “fine enough.” Not well. Not healthy. Just functional enough to get through the day. From the outside, that often gets mistaken for being okay. And that misunderstanding affects how people respond to us.

Disabled people are not expendable. The elderly are not expendable. Children are not expendable. Worth should never be tied to economic productivity. If we protected the most vulnerable in society, everyone would be better off.

No one chooses to be disabled or chronically ill. It’s not a moral failing. People blame the disabled because it makes them feel morally superior. They can tell themselves it’ll never happen to them. It can happen to anyone. It’s a minority group you can join at any time.

Why are the ableds obsessed with saying disabled people are 'writing themselves off' when they tell them what they can and can't do?! Like no I just know my bodies limits?

Apparently there is a report out suggesting that after the lifting of the two child benefit cap, families on benefits will be entitled to more money than the average working family. 2 things wrong with this, (possibly more) firstly, there are many people who are on benefits who also work but have to have their wages topped up because they are too low to live on, and secondly, the methodology seems rather suspect (I know what a surprise) you see, what they've done is taken every single benefit that it is possible to claim and added them together at full rate. This is despite the fact that some benefits simply can't be claimed in conjunction with each other and therefore no person or family would ever get the figure that they suggest in the report. Of course, the people who write this bollocks already know this, they just want to spread as much division and vitriol towards those on low incomes as they possibly can, even if many of those people are in fact working. It's truly staggering just how many people will be out there falling for this shit, and I dare say many of the people angry about this will paradoxically be claiming things like UC, because they won't realise the report is talking about them. They'll think it's talking about people they don't like, such as disabled people (who must be faking if we even dare to consider leaving the house) or 'illegal immigrants' as they call them, (who can't even claim in the first place and have never been able to) A little newsflash to these people, the report is talking about you, it's talking about me as well, but you are not exempt from the ire of right-wing think tanks and press barons. They despise us all, the only difference is, I know that already but if you are reading this and are still not quite convinced, you'll find out eventually if Farage and Tice ever get their hands on power.

How can Theresa May’s former press secretary, arch Brexiteer and purchaser of the Jewish Chronicle say he has “impartiality through his bones”? Not seen whether the Committee members laughed out loud. Did they?

Let's be clear, this whipped up scandal is part of the wider trend targeting any and everything Disabled people need to be independent - from our transport to our benefits. Our right to independent living is not a 'luxury' - you would not say that about non-disabled people.

@DRDisabilityReb Well said, ableism should be as abhorrent as racism, but like racism it is systemic and often euphemised away.
