The problem of writing fanfic & having done so since before I hit the teen years is that, on occasion, I see sth somewhere that gives me Ideas™ & I'm essentially stuck until I write the thing. So guess I've got a Superman meets Spider-Man WIP now 🙃

Elon Musk’s mother moved to South Africa BECAUSE her family loved the idea of race-based Apartheid. Elon left South Africa as apartheid finally crumbled thanks to external pressure & internal activism. 30 years later, Musk’s out for revenge against one of the groups that helped end apartheid: USAID

Apparently, Texas authorities in the area where the horrific floods occurred just spent about 25 minutes of their most recent press conference patting themselves and Trump admin the back - while families desperately waited for new info.
Even the god-fearing users of this Aggies forum are PISSED.

The UK's 'unaffordable' Welfare costs.
Actually 2% lower now than in 2013-2017.
And not actually predicted to increase at all.

It's unsurprising that #DisabilityBenefits are being targeted again. I say it's unsurprising because disabled people have always been targeted when society is struggling.
There are many reasons why #DisabledFolk are targeted, why it often is ‘justified’ or presented as to our ‘benefit’.

With the recent ‘consultation’ of the changes to #DisabilityBenefits (#PIP) presented by the #UKGovernment, I have many, MANY concerns and a burning desire to bring some receipts and challenges to the entire disability assessment process. Hence this thread with the burning hot tea.

Absolutely shocking to see a Labour secretary of state stand at the despatch box and proudly announce slashing support for some of those who need it most - including removing the UC health top-up for young people, as if young disabled people don't exist?! #DisabilityBenefits
