This is what bothers me the most, official government data makes it clear that fraud within PIP claims is virtually non existent, so all cuts made will affect a genuinely disabled person who is already struggling due to an inadequate UC system. It's just wrong, fuck Labour.

My contract is over soon, the org can’t afford to keep me. I’m running out of my (private, waiting for NHS) miracle drug which keeps me functional. Any tips for remote part-time work would be helpful! If you don’t know of any, you could buy one of my books or a coffee 💜 buymeacoffee.com/dragongeorge

The midnight delicatessen twins struck again. Woke up to a delivery of baked goods and a box of quiche. I’m so sad they’re leaving.

Two years ago we published TWENTY-EIGHT, a collection of stories from the Section 28 generation. Edited by @kestr.al and containing works from 28 incredible contributors, this book is an important look at the impact of the UK's "don't say gay" law. www.reconnectingrainbows.co.uk/books/twenty...

A banner image that reads contains the review quote "... a new kind of history" and features an image of the book 'Twenty-Eight'. Below this are the words "Twenty-eight stories from the Section 28 Generation. In bookshops and online 1st February 2023".

Couldn’t sleep so went for a not-even-5am jog, followed by sauna. Now, less excitingly, I’m off to the dentist 🫠 On balance, not a bad start to my year. #lunarnewyear #yearofthesnake

If you’re not familiar with the Nazis Aktion T4 program, please look it up. Too many folks forget that Hitler targeted disabled people first. No one spoke up, and rampant ableism means little has changed in 80 years. Centre disabled people in your resistance planning. We can help.

Limped up to a high intensity gym session with my walking stick. Explained the nerves in my left side weren’t working properly. Coach just took it on and adapted, no fuss. Just got me sweating. This is the way. #disabled #gymrat #migraine #eds #pots #whoknowswhatthefuck

Amazing! I’m a nonbinary disabled poet and writer who’s got a fantasy novel out, alongside a poetry collection and collab. I’ve also got the full ms of my second novel - a post-apocalyptic queer SFF set in London - sitting with two agents as we speak, eek! 👀 So happy to have found more enbies 🥳

Celebrating Burns Night by watching US Traitors rather than the pub (knackered, mentally drained), and squealing bc Alan Cumming seems to be wearing Anderson (husband’s family name) tartan. #TraitorsUS

A flash fic for our times. I am imagine quite a lot of people, particularly those who have to liaise with a certain president, are also asking the question, "We're supposed to talk to meat?" (Link to They’re Made Out of Meat by Terry Bisson)

Tried my new magic beans (Rimgepant) which are meant to help when the magic stab pen’s effectiveness wane and… I just woke after a 2 hour nap? A trip to the White Lodge? Alien abduction? Less discombobulated, more feeling akin to what many abductees describe in the X-Files.

I've built a machine that can be Confidently Wrong. It can also make pictures that all look a bit the same, as well as make a video of you kissing any celebrity or person you know. In payment, I'd like to boil the world's oceans dry, & steal all literature. For some reason, my head is not on a spike

I’m sure, like you, and every other migraineur I meet, that we go about our business while experiencing symptoms most people would rush to hospital for. 💪

George Violet Parker @agparker.bsky.social · 22/01/2025

They SUCK! Today it was accompanied by a savage pain in my neck, alongside the usual nerve pain head to toe. Not fun. Private migraine people prescribed me CGRPs which have literally changed my life - down from 12-20days/month to maybe 7, most of which I can work through👌🏼
