Trauma Brain-- the internalized voices of our bullies and abusers-- is going to try to reduce our CPTSD down to "not having our sh*t together." It's on us to remember: CPTSD is an injury, w/ physical, psychological, & even spiritual aspects. "Suck it up" doesn't heal injuries.

To ‘free up hospital beds’ you need improved social care - not AI

A disabled person is admitted to hospital. Their carer stays — because staff can’t meet their needs. But the system says: Stop PIP. Stop Carer’s Allowance. As if the care ends. As if the bills stop. It’s not support. It’s punishment — and it’s built on ignorance.

I need people who haven't been through PIP assessment to understand how evil, arbitrary, and designed to make you fail it is. They deliberately make the buildings inaccessible to 'test' you, and they observe you in secret from the moment you arrive for your assessment.

Imagine thinking the disabled people of today would be willing to sell out the disabled people of tomorrow to protect ourselves from cuts that shouldn't be happening at all Tell me you don't understand community without telling me etc etc

I urge any MP staying quiet to study the PIP scoring criteria properly. If you support Starmer, you're stating that someone who can't cook, dress, go to the toilet, get in or out of the bath or wash their private parts without daily care isn't disabled. Dystopian and horrifying.

.@kimleadbeater you are misleading the House before today’s vote. You know the Royal College of Psychiatry - the experts in capacity & coercion - has explicitly opposed your bill. It breaks my heart that you would use a sleight of hand to mislead MPs and the public in this way.

This is pathetic but even moreso when you know we didn’t even vote for councillors this election and our MP in this area is Labour. We only have 2 Reform councillors out of 42. They can act like they’re winning all they want but they’re talking shit

Your periodic reminder that #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek is about mental well-being Not mental illness The "Reach out" & "Just ask for help" messages aimed at individuals ignore illness & structural issues I've done all the well-being stuff, & I've gone hoarse asking for help

love my job as a PIP assessor, i get to meet so many people then try my hardest to deny them money that might make their life a bit more tolerable 🙂 i put in as much overtime as possible but i also like to relax with a glass of wine and some animal torture videos on the dark web

My fellow disabled people, please protect yourself today. You don’t need to engage in the news at all if you don’t want to. You can block certain words on social media if it helps. You matter. Our lives matter. Please don’t lose hope. Lots of love ❤️ #DisabilityBenefits

You are probably going to hear a lot more about #LCWRA in the next few days and weeks. So what is LCWRA? Here is an infographic. Please feel free to use or do a better version - we need to get this across.

The amount of guys on this site who are just straight up "Nothing against disabled people but I think they should have less than me. I think I should be able to look down on them, like some sort of underclass. Nothing against them though."

It’s worth really pausing on this: the Health Secretary is going on the BBC stating that people who have mental health conditions don’t really have them - they’re just being “over diagnosed” by doctors. This is beyond cuts to benefits. This is casting doubt on scientific reality.
