Given he goes on so much about snowflakes and people being easily offended, it’s a bit much that he’s so horrified at the mere sight of a box of tampons.

Honestly what is wrong with some people

I genuinely don’t understand why people feel the need to say these things

“I couldn’t live like that” - ok, thanks?! What on earth is someone supposed to do with that comment?!

“I don’t know how I’d cope” - well no, I’m not coping brilliantly but it’s not exactly a choice is it

We go amongst you, carrying on, trying to do stuff, living our lives as best we can. We are more resilient than most normies will ever know. Disabled people are hard af. I think I’m past Disability Pride and heading towards Disability Rage.

10 years ago, the classic milquetoast ableism of "I don't think I could carry on if I had chronic pain, I'd end me" annoyed me cos it felt like saying that my life (which I love) wasn't worth living.

TIL that now I'm older & saltier my immediate reaction is

'Your lack of imagination is pathetic'…

Plus like you say the eligibility is weird. I’m eligible for free prescriptions (my medical exemption card is a treasured possession) but not any seasonal vaccination boosters.

Comments like that just make me want to tell them that disabled people are hard af and they should fear us 😂

Exactly this. I’m lucky that my workplace will reimburse private seasonal flu jabs but I paid for them before, but the COVID jab is so expensive for a seasonal vaccination.

A thousand times this! I want it to put out the bins or do my washing up, so I can do fun stuff like art, or reading or writing.

it’s said all the time but I think we should continue to hammer home how insane it is that we got dead-eyed bros trying to sell us robots that will free us from the supposedly cruel burden of “creative careers” instead of the actual cruel burden of “doing menial household chores”

Absolutely this! I really wanted to like the movie but it was so disappointing and felt like it went in for 3 days

Like willing suspension of disbelief but taken to extremes, even after you finish the novel/novella/short story.

That’s like the opposite of literary criticism. Literary gullibility?

More widely available Covid vaccinations would be a far better way to address Covid and long Covid than blaming people for eating cheap and easy food during a cost of living crisis.

An unsurprising wellness hack from a British tabloid, & a bit more surprising from a professor of genetic epidemiology at King’s College London.

Like #COVID, #LongCOVID is preventable.

But it's not caused by what you ingest, it's caused by what you inhale -
