David Walliams' reputation was an open secret, junior staff were told to meet him in pairs & never visit his home, yet HarperCollins only dropped him when a Telegraph investigation came out. The problem is not just him. HarperCollins knowingly promoted & funded a guy sexually harassing junior staff.

I wish more people would realize how common invisible disability is and how it’s often that many passengers using wheelchairs are exhausted by navigating massive, triggering, crowded, badly lit and badly ventilated airports or cannot manage stairs, etc etc.
just be kind, ffs
Ridiculous bullshit. I have a loved one who can walk but can't stand for a long time and needs a cane in lines. Would she be gaming the system because her disability is mostly invisible?

If you’re in a chronic illness flare, remember that it’s not your fault.

Flare ups happen.

They can be unpredictable.

They can be overwhelming.

They can hit us even when we do everything “right”.

Give yourself grace. Allow time to rest and recover. Let go of the blame.

Why are prosecutors trying to stop DNA testing (that we are paying for) when it could lead to more reliable answers, both for those wrongfully convicted & crime survivors? If prosecutors were so certain about these convictions, why fight our truth-seeking efforts so hard? Denial is not justice.

Many women can’t breastfeed.

It’s not always possible, and they don’t deserve to be blamed or shamed for it.
