There’s something surreal about watching NHS staff warn flu and covid overwhelming hospitals whilst ditching masks and testing. No medic I know takes LFTs anymore. Many see a clinically vulnerable patient with a mask and don’t bother to offer to wear one too. Join the dots, lads.

Will be checking here less frequently, but have just set up Bluesky. Say hi if you're there too @fleurperry.bsky.social

@KylaHollywood O fudge. Just turned on my laptop and even though you haven't said it, I know what this means. FFS!

Feel like I’ve been hit by a train. What an incredibly dark day for humanity. What a dark day for end of life care. We don’t stop here. We have much to do.

👋Hi to new followers. It seems worth reintroducing ourselves. We're Not Dead Yet UK. We're a secular group made up of disabled people who oppose assisted suicide on disability rights grounds. You can find out more about what we believe, and why, here: drive.google.com/file/d/1DxpeFd…

Thinking of everyone in London today for the Not Dead Yet rally. @TheNotDeadYetUK

“What’s really important is to look not just at who might benefit from assisted dying, but at who this Bill might harm. “Ultimately, the safeguards in this Bill are just not robust enough" - @libertyhq standard.co.uk/news/politics/…

@juliesharp86 This is very silly

Looking at DFGs for a friend and saw this: "Anyone who is registered or eligible to be registered as a disabled person can apply" Registration ended in the '90s. There is no "register" of disabled people.

Amazing blog post by @touretteshero explaining with citations and links why the assisted dying bill is scary and wrong. It includes links to write to your MP which I'll try to do tonight despite being v low on spoons atm.

Hypermobile moment of the day: sneezed and my shoulder did a click click

"Assisted suicide creates a two-tier solution. Suicide prevention for some, suicide approval for others" - @thelizcarr

@Richard_Amm Levels of DA, law around DA, COVID deaths

Writing a zine about the intersection of sexism and ableism, what should definitely be included?

"We know many in our society think our lives are not worth living. "We also saw how quickly Disabled people’s lives were treated as of lesser value during Covid.  Legalising assisted dying will only reinforce and perpetuate this.” - @InclusionLondon

Looking at replacing my WAV, and I have the option of an eWAV for the first time!

🚨NEWS🚨 People with learning disabilities were told they wouldn’t be resuscitated or treated if they contracted COVID-19, the Covid inquiry has heard. disabilityrightsuk.org/news/covid-19-…

This!

@flowergirl_lon Access access access Access access access Access access access What we want is access now!

Disabled people don’t need ‘awareness’ we bloody need ACCESS SO WE AREN’T DISABLED ALL THE TIME. Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

4 weeks today MPs vote whether to progress with legalising medically assisted suicide in England & Wales. I made this documentary with @BBC @OpenUniversity @_BurningBright_ to explain why me & many other disabled people are opposed. bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod…
