This is what bothers me the most, official government data makes it clear that fraud within PIP claims is virtually non existent, so all cuts made will affect a genuinely disabled person who is already struggling due to an inadequate UC system. It's just wrong, fuck Labour.

I love @agparker.bsky.social's #writing, performance, choice of projects & vibe. Their body is also SO similar to mine in the way it misbehaves. Check out this fab Linktree linktr.ee/a.g.parker.

Finally unpacked and began assembling my home studio, so I thought I would test my equipment and setup, and then the editing apps the only way I know how, by reading a poem This is Here Be Dragons, a... TikTok video by Rick Dove

Been playing around with editing software and posting things on TikTok

This is "Here Be Dragons"

George Violet Parker Whether you're here to support Cabinet of Curiosities, George the Dragon, the fabulous Rebel Riot Poetry night, or just me as a queer, disabled poet, writer and performer, THANK YOU. You are so welcom

My contract is over soon, the org can’t afford to keep me. I’m running out of my (private, waiting for NHS) miracle drug which keeps me functional. Any tips for remote part-time work would be helpful! If you don’t know of any, you could buy one of my books or a coffee πŸ’œ

The midnight delicatessen twins struck again.
Woke up to a delivery of baked goods and a box of quiche. I’m so sad they’re leaving.

Two years ago we published TWENTY-EIGHT, a collection of stories from the Section 28 generation.

Edited by @kestr.al and containing works from 28 incredible contributors, this book is an important look at the impact of the UK's "don't say gay" law.

Couldn’t sleep so went for a not-even-5am jog, followed by sauna. Now, less excitingly, I’m off to the dentist 🫠 On balance, not a bad start to my year. #lunarnewyear #yearofthesnake

If you’re not familiar with the Nazis Aktion T4 program, please look it up.

Too many folks forget that Hitler targeted disabled people first. No one spoke up, and rampant ableism means little has changed in 80 years.

Centre disabled people in your resistance planning. We can help.

One coach did do the whole pantomime bit of, β€œOH MY GOD WHAT HAPPENED”, but the others were fine. It makes such a difference!

Limped up to a high intensity gym session with my walking stick. Explained the nerves in my left side weren’t working properly. Coach just took it on and adapted, no fuss. Just got me sweating. This is the way.

Every year we get to Sainsbury’s too late and every year Phil is saddened by his lack of haggis.

And every year, we forget to buy it well in advance πŸ˜­πŸ˜‚

Amazing! I’m a nonbinary disabled poet and writer who’s got a fantasy novel out, alongside a poetry collection and collab. I’ve also got the full ms of my second novel - a post-apocalyptic queer SFF set in London - sitting with two agents as we speak, eek! πŸ‘€

So happy to have found more enbies πŸ₯³

Celebrating Burns Night by watching US Traitors rather than the pub (knackered, mentally drained), and squealing bc Alan Cumming seems to be wearing Anderson (husband’s family name) tartan. #TraitorsUS
