The report actually highlights that successive governments have failed people with ND & MH conditions & sets out a plan to change that. But that's undermined by the fact that the DHSC has very clearly briefed the press on its overdiagnosis agenda. Which the report disproves

"Overdiagnosis" appears in the report 50 times; for the most part, its used to point out how dangerous labelling ND and mental health conditions as overdiagnosed is. It categorically states that there's no data on overdiagnosis.

The gov neurodiversity report is 599 pages long, and the press got it yesterday. They can push that ADHD is overdiagnosed in press release bc they knew no journo was reading 600 pages. Press will publish their lies, and it'll be even easier to take PIP off ADHDers. And that's how they fucking win

I am genuinely so unwell right now and awaiting immunotherapy. I'm due somewhere between £1,300 and almost £2,000 in pay and holidays from @thecanaryuk.bsky.social, which was supposed to tide me over so I can recover. Other former staff and I just want what's owed to us

Multiple lines of communication have completely broken down and former staff are facing terrifying insecurity. We don’t want a fight, we just want to be paid what we’re owed @thecanaryuk.bsky.social

As well as this Nest pensions hasn't had a contribution from our employer @thecanaryuk.bsky.social since March. This is despite it being taken from our pay each month. This is less urgent than the final pay situation but still important.

I was supposed to be paid my final pay & remaining holidays by @thecanaryuk.bsky.social on Weds. This did not happen. I emailed 11 times and was ignored. I haven't even been told the exact amount, but from my calculations I'm owed at least £1200. I am very sick and cannot work to pay bills

Rachel Charlton-Dailey @rachelcdailey.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
Myself and other now-former @thecanaryuk.bsky.social staff haven't been paid our final pay and holiday pay. Numerous emails have been ignored, and we don't even know what the final amounts will be. Multiple marginalised people will struggle to afford bills and keep roofs over our heads.

Have a huge problem with someone who spends their time shitting on other disabled people calling themselves a wheelchair warrior, a term used by people who campaigned for our rights
a screenshot from the i paper which reads Wheelchair warriors like me are a massive inconvenience for the left

My final and holiday pay from my now-ex employer is now 2 days late. I'm very sick right now and planned to use this as a buffer so I don't have to rush into another job. If you like what I do, please consider supporting me buymeacoffee.com/rachelcdailey

Yesterday I learnt that not everyone sneezes when the sun suddenly shines on them. What do you mean??? Basically, because the optic and nasal nerves are so close together, they can get mixed up and apparently it only affects 18-35% of people. Hilariously, it's legit called ACHOO syndrome

I'm a writer, how is it relevant if I can carry a carton of milk or swallow food? How does that stop me working? What does stop me working is the fact my immune system is trying to destroy me and I'm absolutely exhausted every minute of the day. But there isn't a tick box for that.

Anyone saying people fake disability to rake in benefits instead of working hasn't filled in the Universal Credit Work Capability form. Not a single question about work, but 2 pages detailing how often you shit yourself. Purposefully dehumanising for an extra 217 quid a month

its not about what the triple lock means, its about once again disabled people only getting support if it means someone else loses out. It's making us the enemy again.

Rachel Charlton-Dailey @rachelcdailey.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
I can see what everyone's doing by making the "have pensioners tried having less holidays etc" posts about ending the triple lock to fund benefits & social care, but pitting poor people against each other is what the government wants. It's what the government always wants.

People find it hard to relate to talk of climate change when, for the most part. we live on a soggy wind beaten island. We need to talk about the other weather extremes too

Rachel Charlton-Dailey @rachelcdailey.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
Like its a small example but many apple trees round here had terrible crops because the extreme winds blew the blossoms off too early, but things like that add up

Rachel Charlton-Dailey @rachelcdailey.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
When we talk about climate change in the UK we need to also talk about the extremes that aren't just heat. On the north east coast especially, we see extremes of rain, wind, cold and sun on a daily and weekly basis more than heatwaves, with disastrous effects.

This is the main reason I hate when people call rape "grape" or "r@pe", it stops those who need to filter that content from being able to. Oh an as someone else pointed out, please use accurate alt text so that can be filtered too

One thing I can't get out of my head is how many men in that group chat saw this was happening and did nothing. How this consistently happens and men know their friends are raping women and saying nothing because they're too because they're too cowardly to stand up to their rapist mates.
