I'm writing about the Palestine Action hunger strikers at the moment, any of whom could die at any moment, and the astonishing media and government silence surrounding them. The Establishment seems to have become even crueller than when Thatcher was PM.

In my day we used manufacture consent for illegal military action, but I suppose the president never was big on consent.

Accessibility tools are no one else’s business
You shouldn’t ask someone why they’re masking, just like you shouldn’t ask why they’re using a cane or a wheelchair
If we had succeeded in normalizing masking as a public health tool, this mockery wouldn’t happen.
It needs to stop. Masks save lives.

Disappointed to see Jon Stewart & co joke about masking in public. I do it for my medically fragile daughter (Batten Disease). People not masking properly led to her getting pneumonia, which led to her being on life support, which led to me getting price quotes on her cremation just in case.

4/ Ventilation saves lives. Clean indoor air, through ventilation or filtration, dramatically cuts the spread of respiratory infections. It’s time to treat air quality like food hygiene: a basic public health requirement.

I’ve heard people saying they would rather die and be “normal” than take precautions.
And they do.
Die.
Problem is… as this thread says, they don’t have the cultural permission to do what they need to do.
And they take people with them.

😷 Masks aren't traumatising.
Abandonment is.
Airborne denial is.
Hospital-acquired infection is.
Long Covid and severe ME is.
The most traumatising part of the ongoing pandemic and current flu surge is the refusal to care. /14

If you are wondering
how it could be
that the surge of hospitalizations
(due to flu in England)
is leading the NHS to warn
of the “worst-case scenario”
this winter, just remember:
that far too many people
cannot imagine a worse scenario
than being asked
to wear a mask again.

If you’re disabled, please lean in to assistive devices.
Don’t let the pervasive ableism within society stop you.
Get that scooter, wheelchair, cane or other tool you might need.
Assistive devices are amazing & you should never apologize for using them!

Invisible disabilities exist.
Dynamic disability is a thing.
Ambulatory wheelchair users are a thing.
Accommodations and assistive devices are not always static.
Sometimes they’re needed in certain situations and not others.
We know our bodies best and don’t deserve to be questioned.

Good to hear Rachel Reeves finally attack the 2 child benefit cap - but if Labour were so much against it, why’s it taken them so long to scrap it? And why were Labour MPs suspended for saying *exactly* the same last year? There’s no moral high ground here #budget2025

I will be the first to admit I couldn’t understand why anyone would oppose Assisted Dying… and then I became disabled and had it “offered” to me.
It’s not compassionate when there’s coercion.
It’s not dignified when it’s offered in lieu of care.

If no one in your timeline is grieving the loss of Alice Wong today then you’re not hearing from enough disabled people or even people who listen to disabled people.
That’s a massive segment of society to which you will likely belong some day. Might want to turn an ear toward them sooner than later
