does anyone else who struggles with fathers/mother’s day struggle more with the influx of “don’t want our emails” emails than they do the actual emails themselves?? or just me

i wish they would take out the elimination :( but i guess in this case they literally never would have caught up so they kind of had to do it. it’s even more annoying when everyone is close together and we lose a couple for the sake of an hour or a few mins

i don’t want to lose the cute divorced couple :( but surely there’s no other way #RaceAcrossTheWorld

Charli Clement @charliclement.bsky.social · 01/05/2025

mayyybe that would make sense but so often the couple that was 5th for ages manages to sneak in and someone else goes and it feels super unfair and unnecessary to the plot of the show

feel like i complain about this every season but i HATE the 5th place elimination. so pointless. #RaceAcrossTheWorld

one of my favourite #RaceAcrossTheWorld things is when they all run off from the start line as if 1) they know where they’re going 2) aren’t racing for many weeks

Anyone I know interested in sewing and maybe being on TV? I’ve been nudged by the production team for the ‘Great British Sewing Bee’ to say they are looking for ND / disabled folk for the next series of the show. Sign up form is here: eu.castitreach.com/ag/love/gbsb...

Kidlit colleagues, just a reminder that JK Rowling *funded* this challenge over the definition of women at the Supreme Court. Every time you choose to work with her, platform her, take a stance that aligns with her, buy her books, nominate her for more awards, she uses that and funds hate.

as horrible as the cuts are, I enjoyed writing this one - my dissertation was on social reproduction theory so bringing that back out was really interesting!

At the heart of every attack on disability benefits is the myth disabled people “get perks”: a free car, loads of cash, a life off work. It misrepresents the reality of disability, whilst exploiting low wages and high living costs to make the public envy people in daily pain.

guess who’s part of the meta scrape! very upsetting as an anti-AI author. libgen is a useful resource and I’d honestly rather people had the info in my book than not but that’s not the same as a scrape this huge for thousands of authors

Demonising disabled people is not a moral duty

As the government unveils its benefit reforms, including tightening who receives the PIP (Personal Independent Payment), disabled journalist Charli Clement says there will be unintended consequences

022

Charli Clement @charliclement.bsky.social · 18/03/2025

yes and one of the MP questions listed how many categories you could need a decent level of support in but never qualify for PIP because of this and she said that wasn’t what it meant - but it does.

sorry - UK government is currently announcing horrific reforms to our disability benefits system and it’s 99% about working

Charli Clement @charliclement.bsky.social · 18/03/2025

can’t believe someone just said that those w mh needs should only be able to do “socially useful work” for benefits - what a horrific double standard and a true notion of the ideas of eugenics that this society holds

Charli Clement @charliclement.bsky.social · 18/03/2025

it would really be nice for someone to actually acknowledge that pip isn’t an out of work benefit actually :)

well AT LEAST they’re not changing it to vouchers!!! we’re so lucky!!

Charli Clement @charliclement.bsky.social · 18/03/2025

you can’t have a binary of can or can’t work!! that’s not how most disabilities work internally nor is it our experience of society and how employment/corporations work!

Charli Clement @charliclement.bsky.social · 18/03/2025

the words “genuine need” are so violent and loaded in this context. you do not get to set a fake bar that does not acknowledge any of our needs

Charli Clement @charliclement.bsky.social · 18/03/2025

objectively hilarious to say this is all due to tory failure only to treat disabled people just like they did - or arguably worse!

Charli Clement @charliclement.bsky.social · 18/03/2025

disgusting to put the north and midlands in your mouth as a justification for taking our benefits

Charli Clement @charliclement.bsky.social · 18/03/2025

we cannot “unleash talents” when there are no accessible jobs, you cut access to work, we are waiting years for surgeries and therapies and social care!!

“it’s not a post covid problem across the world” maybe because we didn’t have stringent lockdowns, had mass spreading initiatives eat out to help out, were plunged into a cost of living crisis, have no support for those with long covid, etc etc…

Today is the 35th anniversary of the Capitol Crawl, in which disabled activists discarded their mobility aids at the foot of the Capitol steps to climb them in support of passage of the Americans with Disabilities Ac. Jennifer Keelan-Chaffins, 8, told reporters "I'll take all night if I have to!"

also for a specialist dentist this one was *not* autism informed in the slightest so. what an afternoon!

Charli Clement @charliclement.bsky.social · 28/02/2025

apparently I’m no longer disabled enough for my specialist dentist care!! which is not the fault of the dentist but considering I went to a new one today they didn’t even ask me any questions to ascertain whether I scored highly enough and just assumed about my communication & support needs!!
