I’m sick and tired of nondisabled people telling disabled people what constitutes dignity and quality of life for disabled people.

Rejection sensitivity is central to ADHD, autism, and cPTSD.
Mental health services rarely understand rejection sensitivity, which is why people in all three diagnostic categories are so often told there is something wrong with their personality.
There isn’t.

1. I don’t often tweet about my personal life, but on 1st November, my mum Jane was hit by a large vehicle as a pedestrian in St. Louis, USA. She suffered a severe brain injury & remains in a coma in hospital.
Here's Jane & me in happier times.

We’ve been having a think and we always had lots of spare t shirts / records etc after a tour.
What if we did a Help Us Help Bands Merch Market (all stalls free of charge with zero commission). I sort a venue (Manchester to start with), get some DJs n’that and we see how it goes

Too many people think spirituality is all ‘good vibes’ and instant clarity. Real spiritual work means facing your shadows, embracing the unknown, and owning your path—even when it’s messy. True growth isn’t about perfection, it’s about being real. #SpiritualAwakening #Witchcraft #OwnYourJourney

Disabled people should not have to ask for access.
Disabled people should not have to ask for civil rights.
Disabled people should not have to ask for justice.
An ableist majority has created a permission structure where disabled people are at the mercy of others.

Brace yourselves, lovely creatures! People often ask, "How can you be a parent if you're blind?" Well, watch this space! Blindness doesn’t define me— I hold a career, manage a home, have hobbies, and yes, one day, I’ll be a parent. Time to rethink those limits! #BlindButCapable
Social media will turn everyday individuals into "influencers" simply because they say things that are basic and agreeable, and it will turn real intellectuals into outcasts because they say things that are true yet uncomfortable.
Which one do you think the algorithms favor?

The dedicated start for #Blind runners at #GreatNorthRun2024 is amazing!
This head start meant that we pretty much had the road to ourselves for a little while.
And the support from spectators (even in the pouring rain) was absolutely brilliant.
Thank you #Newcastle 👏💕

Lots of influential disabled people talking about how awful Wembley were yesterday, which is great.
Reminder that lots of disabled people have been campaigning for accessible live music and ticketing for years!!
(Inc me) they just don’t have high profiles.

Victims of human trafficking are often forced to commit crimes as part of their exploitation.
The principle of non-punishment states that a trafficked person should not be detained or prosecuted for unlawful acts committed as a result of the crime.

Hey @LewisHamilton! I’m a totally blind person living in Stevenage and would love to connect. If it's not you, maybe your team? I'd be thrilled to learn more about the racecourse and the car. Let’s chat and make this happen! 🏎️✨ #F1 #Inspiration #LetsConnect
