Unpaid Carers are the UK’s largest workforce. How many other countries tolerate 7m citizens aged between 5 - 95 working without training, support, guaranteed rest breaks or holidays - let alone appropriate compensation? #ValueCarers #UnpaidCarers #CarersRightsDay @WeAreCarers
We Care Campaign@WeAreCarers

It's #CarersRightsDay. We've teamed up with @CarersTrust on a report, "Pushed From Pillar to Post," highlighting the realities carers have accessing our rights. It includes powerful quotes and crowd-sourced recommendations.  Read it here bit.ly/CarersRightsRe…

Things have just got a lot more difficult . Here’s what I think . I had no control over what just happened . None . But I do have control over how I will react to it . And I am not going to give up on the beautiful and the good , the grip on my dreams just got tighter .

If someone knows a psychologist or therapist who can work very gently and slowly with someone who hears voices and had experienced a lot of statutory violence, can you possibly email me? London-based. Not rich. Thanks x

Gisèle Pelicot walking to take the stand today, her strength echoing in every step: “It’s not for us to have shame, it’s for them,” she told the court. "I want all women who have been raped to say: Madame Pelicot did it, I can too. I don't want them to be ashamed any longer,"

I was asked to give a quote for this Guardian article on finances in publishing. Unsurprisingly, they didn’t use the quote I gave ( lol) But here it is anyway …

Will we ever know the names & stories of 118,000+ people killed by Israel in Gaza? Or the people burned alive after Israeli strikes on Al Aqsa Hospital, where displaced Palestinians sheltered? The UK is complicit in these war crimes. End ALL arms sales & diplomatic support NOW.

Why is it good to talk this #WorldMentalHealthDay? Our participants say… - you realise you're not alone - breaks taboos and makes it easier each time, and for others - a problem shared is a problem halved - it can make it easier to make sense of difficult emotions and thoughts

Everybody should have enough money via work or social support to afford toilet roll. Awful for the women & girls affected and awful for those who have to impose & enforce this in their workplace. #Austerity #PeriodPoverty

🚨BREAKING NEWS🚨 Charity for Disabled children funnelling over 40% of its funds to right-wing think-tanks. Utterly shocking - an example of what happens when disability organisations aren't run by us, for us, with lived-experience at the forefront. goodlawproject.org/disabled-child…
