I've essentially been in a financially abusive relationship with the DWP for the past 16 years. Because bureaucratic violence is still violence. (And I say this as someone who's been in a financially abusive relationship with a human)

Second in my series of dead bird paintings - this redwing, sent in by a follower (the photo, not the actual bird mailed to me!). Currently up for sale on my website (link in bio)

Whenever I post about being on the receiving end of street harassment/verbal hate-crime, I inevitably get at least one straight person telling me to report it to the police, and the naivety astounds me! Like..have you seen the fucking police? Do you live under a rock? Just world fallacy.

Great tit & Goldfinch - gouache and charcoal on canvas. Recently I asked my followers if they could send me their photos of dead birds, to add to my own collection, to paint. This is the first in the series! I finally have my website up and running and have posted this for sale on there.

Walked past a group of (grown adult) lads - "last one there is gay" "I know you are" - felt like I'd just been dragged back 20 years to school.

Been thinking about Jason Arday and the ableism aspect (obv racism is a big part). How people couldn't grasp that an autistic black man could be academically successful. That he must either have been cheating, or lying about being non-verbal as a child.

Many of the happiest and healthiest elderly people I know are the ones who volunteered or started seriously engaging in hobbies when they retired. Humans crave purpose and enrichment in their lives! A universal basic income wouldn’t stop most people from contributing to society. Promise.

Quick sketch from a visit to my local art gallery - sticking to one colour simplifies things.
A ceramic candlestick (likely 1800s) featuring two birds amond leaves and flowers. A dark blue sketch of a ceramic candlestick with two birds, leaves and flowers. There is a layer of dark blue watercolour followed by a layer of dark blue pencil, and some charcoal added in places.

Seeing a lot of discourse on benefits, which misses the mark entirely imo. 'But PIP enables disabled people to work' 'but many people on UC work full-time'. Still placing a moral value on paid work. What about the many people who can't or don't work?

Half of the country is in "exceptionally serious drought" - putting us at more risk of wildfires and threatening our food security. Meanwhile water companies are wasting a staggering 2.87 billion litres of water every day through leaky pipes. Time to end water privatisation.

This is one of those things that I fought with myself over doing. But the fact is, the UK is a hostile environment for trans people. There is no other way I can get this. So this is a thing I have launched, and for it to succeed, it needs reach. Help me out? gofund.me/b12b11677

Could not agree more Could not agree more It's much of the same reason I support sex work decriminalization vs sex work legalization To be honest, I think referring to this position as gender decriminalization is the path toward solidarity No liberation can come from a State

To get one thing straight, as I think will be coming clear to people in the UK this morning, that Supreme court decision doesn't just disadvantage women who are trans, it also disadvantages *all* women. We can now be questioned as to our gender, wherever, by whoever. Probably in whatever way.

OK, so we at @sitrws.bsky.social are piloting a project to maintain a library of off road wheelchairs, supporting disabled folx to have access to outdoor spaces and events. Can you help us out? Shares are as good as monies. www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/help-the-a...

if you’re an artist who ever thought “what’s the point? The world is Hell and I should do something that matters instead” even in an ICE detention center people will treat art as sacred, seek it out, and find joy and comfort in it. You aren’t making art, you’re making hope.
On her first day in the facility, Becky asked for a scrap of paper and a pen, and began to draw the inmates on the table next to her. She was immediately inundated with portrait requests. A Mexican woman called Lopez, who had a photo of her children stored on one of the iPads, told Becky she would buy her some paper and colouring pencils from the commissary if Becky drew her kids. She soon became the dorm’s unofficial artist-in-residence, with women huddling around the dirty mirrors to make themselves look presentable before they sat for her. They would decorate their cells with Becky’s drawings, or send them to their families. Lopez declared herself Becky’s manager. “She kept saying, ‘Becky, you need to ask for stuff in exchange. Ask for popcorn.’ And I’d be like, ‘Lopez, I don’t need anything.’ I thought, I’m here briefly, you’re stuck here a long time. I’m not going to take your food away from you.”A three by three grid illustrating in blue pen cartoon portraits of women in an ICE detention center. “Mrs Kailey,” Bana, Lewelyn, Ikram, Asil, ‘Auntie,’ ‘F.Z,’ Kseniia, and “P.A.” Two have light hair, three have glasses, one wears a hijab, one poses, and one holds a drink.

a Labour Party which claims that people are faking mental health problems in huge numbers, that the benefit system is too generous, and that the severely disabled—and even terminally ill!—can and *must* work is a cruel, extreme far-right party. and, yeah, a fascist one.

I was 18 when the Tories got in in 2010, since then I have been solely reliant on the punitive and dehumanising benefits system for income, and had naively hoped a Labour govt would make things easier for disabled people. But nope, not just more of the same - worse. #disability #uk
