“Truss’s flirtation with more disability cuts has only piled on the frustration and despair that disabled people have been feeling for over a decade.” Great piece by @TinyWriterLaura on the government’s refusal to rule out real-term benefit cuts. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
Mysterious things are happening in 'Toby and the Silver Blood Witches', an award-winning, heartfelt story from Sally Doherty.
It's an ideal adventure for any 9-12 year old who loves tales filled with action, mystery and wonder.

I’m hoping it means I’ll be able to take Dolly on some shorter walks now we’re home - shorter because I need to be able to do other things as well in a day whereas on holiday it didn’t matter if I had to rest for ages after. And it’ll have to be based around how I am/what’s on.
On Thursday I did something amazing: I walked Dolly to the beach & back from our caravan. It was slow, I had a 15 minute rest on the bench by the beach & took me almost an hour. But I did it! I couldn’t do anything for the rest of the day but it was worth it. And I am so proud 🥹
@SianGotME Had to fight to get this appt. Thankfully it was cysts and not breast cancer but can you imagine if we hadn't been able to sort it out and it was? I guess I would have just been left at home with breast cancer. Now too ill to travel, so no screening and family history.
Request for experiences from #pwME.
Has your access to non-ME related healthcare ever been refused/ignored because of your ME? Can you tell me what happened?

I see that Dr David Mason Brown in Scotland sadly passed away this year & there is a memorial service for him on October 29:

He had #MEcfs & developed a special interest in dealing with the condition using, for example, Nimodipine

@Frattgirl@MrsProctor2010 I have lots of 20-year-olds communicating with me.
They usually have scant clothing and a great desire to get to know me. My profile is just so enticing.
Great to know I still have it.
Pity I can't remember where I put it, though.
Thankful for this interconnectivity. Not sure if it is that or the thought of goofing around with fallen leaves... I feel like crying.
Life is hard, whether or not you are able to visit a local park. Be kind to yourself 💙 #MEAwarenessHourtwitter.com/Not_Just_Tired…
I am happy to announce this weekend I will be receiving the Mahatma Gandhi Center National Nonviolence award at James Madison University. The inaugural winner of this award was civil rights activist John Lewis. I am incredibly humbled to be receiving it.
