My second #Ekphrasis piece inspired by AshleyCook’s art and my lived experience of #chronicillness #ME is now live on the wonderful #DisabledTales. Involving the myth of the siren, Wolf Larsen and even a Beatles reference! 😌 www.disabledtales.co.uk/essays/the-l... #pwme #lyrics #greekmyths

Thank you to @sensecharity.bsky.social for providing an accessible campaign template, enabling me to write to my MP @gordonmckee.bsky.social re #disabiltycuts more swiftly than I would otherwise be able. The fact we have to do this at all is shameful.
