I've been a bit quieter than usual these past months because @astra.bsky.social and I have been going deep into what we are calling End Times Fascism. The research has been bleak, I won't lie, but it's also been inspiring.

In her UK Budget, Reeves is increasing the tax burden on ordinary citizens to avoid taxing vast wealth. Then she’ll wonder why the economy doesn’t grow! The economy is made by millions of us spending our pounds, not by multi-millionaires buying a new yacht or aircraft.

It’s partly because the bill and system is complex, MPs and journos struggled to grasp it. But truthfully, it is largely because PIP cuts are deemed to matter more. Many claimants have jobs! They’re deserving! Click on most news sites and you wouldn’t know there’s a vote tonight.

Ableism is one of the most acceptable forms of bigotry. It’s everywhere. Disabled people are looked down upon by almost all groups in society. Viewed as “useless eaters” and expendable. Most people don’t even consider discrimination against us to be “real” discrimination

After govt's 11th hour 59th minute climbdown over PIP it's time for Reeves to go back to the drawing board and look for fairer and more sensible ways to raise money - like a wealth tax on multi-millionaires and billionaires to raise up to £24bn a year

This poem by Patricia Berne, David Langstaff & Aurora Levins Morales, (from Skin, Tooth, and Bone: The Basis of Movement is Our People, A Disability Justice Primer, pages 55-57) has become sacred to me over this trying year. In particular, I hold these words close, "You, yes you, are irreplaceable!"

White text on black background states:

Disability Liberated Poem

Come. You. Yes, you
Tonight we are gathering stories, ours, yours.
Each of us with our bundles of sticks, each of us
with our strands of cord.
The word in your pocket is what we need
The song in your heart, the callous on your heel.

Come out of the forest, the woodwork, the
shadows to this place of freedom
quilombo, swamp town, winter camp, yucayeque
where those not meant to survive laugh and
weep together
share breath from mouth to mouth, pass cups
of water, break bread
and let our living bodies speak.

1/4

White text on black background states:

Our history is in our bodies what we do to
breathe,
how we move, the sounds we make
our myriad shapes, our wild gestures
far outside the boundaries of what's expected
the knowledge bound into our bones, our
trembling muscles, our laboring lungs
like secret seeds tied into the hair of our stolen
ancestors
we carry it everywhere.

Come beloveds from your narrow places
from your iron beds, from your lonely perches
come warm and sweaty from the arms of lovers
we who invent a world each morning
and speak in fiery tongues.

2/4

White text on black background states:

Come you with voices like seagulls
dissonant and lovely, with hands like roots and
twigs.

Come limbs that wander and limbs like buds and
limbs heavy as stone
come breathless and swollen and weary, fevered
and wracked with pain,

Come slow and heavy, come wary and scarred,
come sweet and harsh and strong. Come
arched with pleasure, come slick with honey
come breathless with delight.

We say with our feet, with our backs and hands
no life belongs to another, our bodies are not
acreage livestock, overhead, disposable tools.

3/4

White text on black background states:

We hum as we travel, songs heavy with maps
that lead us back to ourselves
singing you, yes you, are irreplaceable.

Here we are, and here we are fruitful
our stories flower, take wing, reproduce like
windblown seeds.

No surgeon's knife can cut the lines of spirit.
Our family tree remains.

- Patricia Berne, David Langstaff & Aurora

Tonight’s huge climbdown is testament to the countless disabled people who have tirelessly fought these cuts. Yes, UC was a loss and there’s more to do on PIP, but let’s not underplay this: a government with a vast majority has been forced to u-turn. Because of the disabled community.

Every single non-disabled person who is supporting the PIP cuts should be handed a £15k “disability costs” bill each year and asked how they plan on paying it. Because people don’t really need benefits? You’ll be able to find £15k on top of rent, food, utilities and your summer holiday? Right?
