An individual reclines outdoors, their feet resting on a gray wicker coffee table with a light wood-plank top. They wear blue jeans and distinctive gray wingtip shoes featuring colorful floral patterned uppers and bright red laces. In the foreground, the person holds open a book, with the text-filled pages sharply in focus. To the left, a large wooden mug with a thick rope handle sits on a small orange side table next to a gray wicker armchair. A black portable JBL speaker rests on the coffee table in the background, set against a green lawn and garden.

If you were to count out a million seconds, it would take you 11 and a half days. A billion seconds would take you 31.7 years. But a trillion seconds would take 31,700 years — to reach that point today, you would have needed to start counting around the time that neanderthals went extinct.

An audio setup featuring a black turntable with a clear dust cover resting on the top shelf of a dark wood and black metal entertainment unit. On the middle shelf, two Edifier bookshelf speakers with wood-grain side panels flank a small, plush blue elephant toy. To the left of the speakers, several vinyl record jackets are displayed vertically, including "Music for the Jilted Generation" by The Prodigy. The bottom shelf features black metal wire dividers for record storage.

As a disabled person I am not “insulted” by the tiny number of folk circumventing the system… I’m insulted by disability benefits being less than a liveable amount. By the process being inaccessible and harming vulnerable people. By ableists making ableist assumptions.

A person is holding a hardcover copy of Lord of the Flies. The book cover is dark red with a black silhouette of a boy’s head. The boy’s eyes are depicted as large white circles, with one containing cracks resembling broken glasses. The spine of the book reads "Lord of the Flies" in white text, with a circular "FS" logo at the bottom, indicating a Folio Society edition. In the background, a cat is lying on a table near a TV.
