Reading Anne Boyer's 'The Undying' and thinking about cancer, me/CFS, invisible illness, and the magical thinking that attends. #cancerwriting #mecfs #millionsmissing #invisibleillness #theundying #disabilitywriting #disabledwriter
1. I come across a headline: 'attitude is everything for breast cancer survivor.' I look for the headline 'attitude is everything for ebola patient ' or 'attitude is everything for guy with diabetes' or 'attitude is everything for those with congenital syphilis' or 'attitude is everything with lead poisoning ' or 'attitude is everything when a dog bites your hand' or 'attitude is everything for gunshot victim' or 'attitude is eveything for a tween with a hangover' or 'attitude is everything for a coyote struck by a Ford F150' or 'attitude is everything for gravity' or 'attitude is everything for the water cycle' or 'attitude is everything for survivor of varicose veins' or 'attitude is everything for dying coral reef'

#7: first aid for obsessives (an open call for submissions)
I have what I've been told is an obsessive mind, and it's something I've long embraced as a navigation tool for my creative explorations.

I made these stickers - trying to find direction for my rage - and the print shop sent me an extra sheet. And look: there's one missing. I'm hoping it's up in their bathroom at work. #transrightsarehumanrights #therighttopee #transliberation #stickers #supremecourtuk
Two pages of stickers which read: 'a trans person used this toilet and no one was hurt'. Top page has a swirly background design in magenta and orange, and bottom page has a swirly background in green and royal blue.

Disabled women know more than most how blocking access to toilets isn’t a minor inconvenience - it’s a form of segregation from everyday life. It is turning down drinks with friends as you worry you can’t fulfil a basic human need if you go out. And knowing society has made the choice not to care.

Great piece on #Trans and #Disability justice from @disrightsuk.bsky.social "When we start to question who deserves access to bodily autonomy and who doesn’t, it becomes a deathly game. A game Disabled people never win." www.disabilityrightsuk.org/news/trans-a...

This gem from Katelyn Burns has honestly set me up for the week. Every time an anti-trans bigot calls herself a feminist, Simone de Beauvoir turns in her grave.

a cardboard sign has handwritten all caps letters in yellow orange and green, reading 'NATURE IS TRANS'. Hazel twigs are sewn to the sides of the sign, their branches reaching up and out. The sign leans against a cream cupboard door.

My fellow chronically ill and disabled folk in the UK: you’ve probably seen headlines about how the government wants to drastically cut off Personal Independence Payments (PIP), the only disability support benefit that is available to everyone whether you’re in paid work or not. Long thread 🧵...

This is what we mean when we say art is a survival strategy. It is. Especially when we do it together. I *adored* being part of this project and have learned so much from my fellow ill and disabled and crip artists. #disabilityart #artactivism #chronicillness #nothingaboutuswithoutus

"The hardest part was to let them tell their stories without [re-]traumatizing them," says Snoopy [director]. "We managed that by going through therapy before shooting. We had to ensure that we healed and passed on that healing." 1/2

LIVESTREAM LINK NOW UP 'MAGICAL ANIMALS: a tribute to Jackie Hagan' is going live at 7pm BST on Sat 1st Feb - click the linktree in my biog, then click the top link there. All profits going to Scleroderma and Raynaud's UK. #spokenword #poetry #disabledartist #queerlit #queercrip #missyou
A portrait in natural light of the writer Jackie Hagan, a white 40-something person with multicolour long straight hair, sitting on a black and brown couch and smiling so damn wide and warm. Jackie holds up their right leg amputation below the knee, on which she has drawn a pair of googly eyes above the scar, as part of her stump-puppetry. Jac is wearing a dress with planets on it, and has lots of different tattoos on their arms.

a huge part of disability justice is making it so it's less dangerous for us to exist in public, and wearing a respirator when u go out, even if u dont feel sick, is the main way to do that rn

It's time for another emergency edition of Tank Girl. Spirits up, we will not roll over or go quietly. Reach for the art that helps, and each other. #transrightsarehumanrights #nooneisillegal #tankgirl
Greyscale cover of Tank Girl poster magazine, emergency special. Written and co-created by Alan Martin. Tank Girl is standing, ciggy between her teeth, hair in pigtails, multiple steri-strips on her face. She's holding an AK47, and at her feet Jet Girl looks like she's smoking a doob. She's wearing a helmet marked 'outback patrol' with a big X on it. Beside them, a stuffed bunny is impaled on Jet Girl's spear.
