#labour #pip #welfarecuts I feel like I have been assulted by someone I thought was safe. I have no idea how we will cope as a family. No PIP = no blue badge = loss of freedom

@teamlabouruk.bsky.social Hello, I need to speak to someone to understand the changes happening to PIP. I am just finishing my PhD in international security and disability. I can't make sense of how my beloved Labour could do this. It is so callous even the tories didn't do it. Please advise.

#disability #disabled #PIP hello friends, how can I help fight the PIP cuts? I feel so helpless and voiceless. I can't really go out and campaign, but I can campaign from home! Any ideas would be welcome x

I miss being on here, but I just don't know what to say anymore. As a #disabled mum, my future looks bleak.

@jessphillipsmp.bsky.social I don't know what to do about Labour and the disability cuts. I am talking to you because I trust you. How can this be happening? I don't know how to explain it or what to do.

I don't know what to do about Trump and his weird vicious (but stupid) lapdog Vance. I feel completely and utterly helpless. #trump

It all feels like a family with a genuinely abusive family member choosing to just carry on with the holiday traditions, hoping to create normalcy through sheer will and denial.

I do wish the term 'refugee' would stop being used to describe moving from one social media site to another. It really upsets me.

I feel PhD lonely today. Any other parents working away on a Sunday afternoon? My flat looks like it has been ransacked, but I have huge deadlines, and I am torn between being a good mum with a nice place for the kids to live and being a good PhD student. #Phdmom #academicmum #academiasky

Tonight is Act III of Slay the Spire the boardgame. My engagement has come with conditions. I will only play if we can put the board on our camping table so I can sit on the sofa under my heated blanket. Cozy warrior. #slaythespire #boardgames

Gabapentin is really knocking me for 6 at the moment. I might try and reduce. Usually it is ok - I guess I am just tired. Anyone else get dopey with their morning dose? #disabled #disability

#Joinin hi folks! How are you all doing? What are you up to? I have to sit in bed and have a rest for a while so I can cook lunch #disability does not like 5am starts - I realise I am lucky that I can rest but also I wish I downstairs playing hotwheels haha.

I have learnt as a woman in her mid-forties, that there is no greater, deeper, love than the platonic love between women of a certain age. My friends are epic. #women #feminism #disablity

Since the tragedy, something insane has happened people from all sides, whether left or right, young or old, religious or secular, have put aside their differences to unite against Vučić. It really shows how bad things have become!

I had great plans for today, but I just feel like shit, so we will be having a pyjama and screen day. #Disability makes me stop some days and it reminds me that 99% of things that seem urgent, can in fact wait 😁
