Granite and Sunlight

Let me tell you about the world 25 years ago this morning.

Various journalists in the UK right now would like to know why young women feel so comfortable using mobility aids in public and calling themselves disabled.

I wanted to think about Henry Nowak and his case before commenting.

I spoke with STV News today about the Assisted Dying Bill in Holyrood.

You won’t believe me, but I wrote the below this morning, before hearing the news.

EMERGENCY CALL OUT: DISABLED PEOPLE HAVE TEN DAYS BEFORE THE DISABILITY CUTS ARE VOTED ON IN PARLIAMENT WE NEED A REBELLION I am begging, even if you think there’s no point, even if you have tried before, please contact your MP and ask them to vote against

I’m really struggling at the moment with anger.

CN: DWP I need everyone in the UK who isn’t directly affected by these potential cuts to read this.

I write a lot about how I see hope.

This is about the War Poets, the use of poetry, and the purpose of memorials like the Cenotaph and days like Armistice Day.

Once again: the ‘death of twitter’ jokes are fun but the disability community is filled with dread.
