Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice. It doesn't have to be this way.

Does anyone know of any initiatives focused on improving PIP? Yet another eligible person within my community has been denied and the DWP's letters are extremely damaging in the lies they tell, let alone the support they are gatekeeping. What can we do? 🫶 #DisabilityCuts #WelfareSystem

Oligarchy (noun): A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

I’m not a fan of the term ally. It feels like a consolation prize for not having a label that is traditionally othered by society? Why do we need a label for what is baseline human decency?

Festivi-tea Day 4! Do you know what Internalised Ableism is? It’s a phrase that many of us have never heard of, yet all of us deal with every day. I invite all of you to think about what assumptions we have about health and how that impacts our actions. Hustle culture? Burn out? Living to work?
