I'm a politically engaged disabled cosplayer, sci-fi aficionado, lover of books, cats, trivia, and tea. Kinkster, Dom, some NSFW comments likely! . MS sufferer since 2014. Tories, Republicans, etc. get short shrift from me.

Chewies home from his surgery today! Still groggy from the anaesthetic, but bright eyed and bushy tailed after 8 teeth out! Thank you to all who donated to his fundraiser, we're both enormously thankful for your wonderful kindness and generosity - we send our love! 😻❤️ #cat

I block these same bloody pornobots over and over and they still keep popping up to follow me! There's gotta be a way of permanently getting shot of them - anyone know how? #Bluesky #spam #block

So #Farage has been cucked by his oddball sugar daddy in favour of a much-loathed, ten-named tiny racist. Certainly didn't have that on today's bingo card. Ah well, c'est la vie, Nige - sometimes you're the anointed, sometimes you just end up as yesterday's gimp. #Musk #Reform #TommyRobinson

Petrified about my Universal Credit interview next week. I'm on ESA support group, so should've transferred automatically, but they're dragging me in. My anxiety tics are in overdrive (they'll enjoy those when I'm in their office! 😂) & I'm having nightmares.

What was supposed to be a 20 minute tyre replacement on my Batec turned into an hour long slog with extra repairs because of my dingbat #MS clumsiness. Still, got it done without recourse to a bike shop - and should be much grippier in this winter weather!

Nigel Farage continues to spout his boll**** unchallenged the UK must leave the ECHR If we want to avoid a dangerous chain of events which could one day see Britain joining Russia & Belarus as the only European countries outside the ECHR we need to constantly call him out

Putting up a Christmas tree for me is just a waste of time. It's bloody awkward as a wheelchair user, the cat would use it as a playground, & I live alone, so what's the point.

Upgraded the underlighting on the #wheelchair as the nights have well drawn in! Lots of new fades, colours, etc, looks super fly, & safe too! #disabledlife #disability #wheelchairuser #multiplesclerosis #MS #chronicillness

The DWP found having to manually discriminate against the #disabled to be extremely time-consuming & inefficient, thus have ensured the automated system can do it just as harshly in half the time. Ain't progress great? www.theguardian.com/society/2024...

Sadly, those same vets who voted #Trump look set to learn courage under fire will not shield against the mendacity, cruelty, avarice & self-interest of the grotesque #GOP. Your service, valued by your countrymen, isn't by your CIC or his entourage. #Republican www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...

Fellow #MS friends - over the last couple of years I've been finding it increasingly difficult to stop random outbursts of laughing & crying. Happens for no reason at all, yet it's both embarrassing & exhausting. Any similar experiences/solutions yourselves? #multiplesclerosis #disability

I hate asking for help, but my #cat Chewbacca just got a sudden large dental bill, right when I've been made redundant. He's thankfully not in pain at present, but we do need to get the work done - If anyone can help with a couple of pounds or a RT I'd be forever indebted! 😻♥️ gofund.me/d86e7603

Remember that bit in #StarTrek with the discommendation ceremony? This should be every country when #Trump and his dangerous regime takes power. Get every ambassador to stand outside the White House & do exactly this. Give him what he wants - absolute isolation.

For 14 years I've been indoctrinated by a Tory government, their client media, populist "reality" documentaries etc that I - as a disabled person - am a burden. That indoctrination is so deep that I still am convinced I am. To me, that's societal coercion. #AssistedDyingBill

Watching this tick up and up is immensely gratifying as one imagines the dysfunctional manboy Musk raising his waxen potato-like face to the heavens and screaming in frustration, his normal ghoulishly pasty sheen turning brilliant puce in impotent rage. Glorious.

Out the blue, a call today to be told I'm being made redundant. I'm still a reserve unsalaried employee of the bank but I get a small stipend through income protection - that'll go. On top of the worries surrounding my discrimination claim against a hotel, this is not a good week.

As we get closer to the end of the year, you're going to see a lot of people posting about their achievements and successes. Just a friendly reminder that if all you did this year was make it through this year and survive, that's something! We shouldn't take that lightly ✨🌷

Liz Kendalls white paper on #disability reform comes out tomorrow, & I'm bloody terrified I voted #Labour as the lesser of two evils, but yet again it's more years of anxiety & dread In 2 months I hit the landmark 50, & I'm actually glad to be closer to shuffling off the mortal coil. Depressing.

Every time I nip back to #Twitter it seems it's a rapidly dwindling circle of more rabid right-wingers, bigots, and shitwitted, swivel-eyed, conspiracy loons having to turn on each other due to a dearth of what they consider easy targets. It's glorious.

1/2) Coming to #Bluesky after years spent in the hellscape of #Twitter is a bit weird. I feel sort of socially awkward, having spent all that time in a fetid, hate-fulled gutter trying to be a decent person it's startling I now actually do find myself among decent people.

2/2) It's rather like turning up to a party in casual clothes with a bottle of mid-price Chablis, only to realise it's a black tie champagne do. That odd awkwardness about not knowing the unwritten social rules is disconcerting, albeit in a lighthearted fashion. Sure I'll get used to it. Cheers all!

Gawd, really hate these winter days, kicks the old MS fatigue up to eleven, all I can do is keep warm in bed and conserve what little energy (and warmth!) I have. Roll on - a not too hot - summer!
