#HealingHearts One of the toughest hurdles for survivors in recovery is being able to accept that they did not cause the abuse. There was never anything wrong with you that 'made' anyone abuse you. It was all on them. 💐 #CSASurvivor #CPTSD #Pinks #ProudBlue 💛💚💜

Not all disabled people have family or friends who can take care of them. Charities are woefully ill equipped to provide the level of care many of us need. Being abandoned for being sick is common, and it’s not our fault. Disability is not & has never been a moral failing.

I am proud to be a (non-celebrity!) signatory to the #TakingThePip letter sent to Starmer and the government. We “demand that the government withdraw its inhumane and catastrophic plans to cut disability benefits.” This is nothing less than “cruelty by policy.” tinyurl.com/3cmv43a9
Screenshot of a Guardian article headlined: “Disabled celebrities urge Keir Starmer to scrap ‘inhumane’ benefit cuts.” Subheading reads: “Exclusive: More than 100 people including Liz Carr and Rosie Jones sign letter criticising PIP and universal credit changes.” The image includes headshots of four disabled public figures: Liz Carr, Rose Ayling-Ellis, Rosie Jones, and another woman with long dark curly hair, against various backgrounds.

You want to cut PIP because “too many people qualify.” Ever wonder why? Maybe more people are disabled because more people are burned out, injured by austerity, stuck on waiting lists or living in systems that break us. The answer isn’t less support. It’s more care. #TakingThePIP
