- Replying to @hewantswealthThe tenant does cover it, in their rent. If you're not able to budget your business properly that's not the tenant's fault.
- Do those people who claim they're feminists & #IStandWithMaya realise that if she won her arguments that employers could not refuse to hire misogynists who called women "lesser men" or other such insult if they believed women were inferior to men? #TransRightsAreHumanRights
- First sign my husband was a keeper, on our first proper date to Natural History Museum, me in wheelchair, woman in cafe asked him what I wanted, his response: "Not a fucking clue love, why don't you ask her?"
- Given that we're the only UK provider of specialist Worplace Disability Coach training, seems odd we've not been contacted... unless the plan is to deploy untrained pseudo-coaches to coerce disabled people into harmful inaccessible work. 🤨Replying to @DWPgovuk1,000 Work Coaches are to be deployed to break down barriers to opportunity by providing intensive employment support.
- Replying to @BillScurry44Dude, your Supreme Court just denied the right to abortion, you have no maternity rights, and you elect even more known sexual harassers than the UK. No, Europe is not more misogynistic than the US.
- In non-autistic people it's called 'flow' and a good thing. In autistic people it's known as inflexible thinking / special interest hyper focus and pathologised as undesirable.Have you ever felt so absorbed in an enjoyable book or activity that you lost track of time? You felt present. Connected. Exhilarated. We call this 'flow', and here's how you can find it: goo.gl/X5eZrs
- Replying to @JohnRou2022 and @oldenoughtosayWhy would we not want to know about simple tests that could save the lives of the men in our lives? What a weird thing to say.
- Replying to @asher_axel99 and @JennyAThatcherImagine not understanding what a PhD is and being so confident about it. 🙄
- Fuck OFF. Women & girls ARE NOT SAFER when we're gender policed, bc we're all exposed to it, w women & girls who are disabled / lesbian / ppl of colour getting the bulk of gender policing harassment. Racism, disableism, & heteronornativity are just normal from transphobes.'For the safety and dignity of every woman and girl' Stand with the Darlington nurses express.co.uk/news/uk/212241…
- If you've recently discovered you're neurodivergent, Yay! So happy you finally can understand yourself better. But please, please recognise that this personal discovery does not exempt you from being ableist and does not make you an expert in disability, neurodivergence or ED&I.
- Replying to @Imani_BarbarinHe couldn't get through the basic 'training wheels' version of the game meant to just introduce people to the game.
- Not a single disabled people's organisation supports this bill. Not a single disability rights organisation supports this bill. Disabled people know this bill isn't safe.Labour's Preet Kaur Gill questions whether, if Leadbeater had allowed evidence from disability and other groups to give evidence, the committee would have reached different conclusions Quite
- My PhD, LLM & legal closing submissions beg to fucking differ.
