My body systems are so overwhelmed by @Adrataicyf noise that I’ve been violently vomiting & shaking at intervals. My body can’t take it.
82 decibels measured, which is legal (just). They lied; they said there’d be no drilling today. Agony

@TheChronicCollaboration If it wasn't for organisations like DPAC or WinVisible (women with disabilities), real people with lived experience of what their campaigning about, we wouldn't have a voice as chronically ill or disabled people in this country. That's the type of inspiration the ME charity's need.
Here's the problem with ME charities. Their view is that mobilising the community on a regular basis 'doesn't work' - despite NONE of these charities ever doing it before. Change is not won from the top down. Change is won from the bottom, up - with everyone involved #WorldMEDay
📢 The DWP has STOLEN Rachel Charlton-Dailey 💖💜💙's jokes from her Canary column #TheWeekInAbleistBullshit

Strange how killing 35, 000 plus people & starving the rest doesn't count as 'inappropriate behaviour.' #Eurovision2024
More than 40 people have been KILLED in #Israeli_bombing of Al Louh family house in Al Maghazi of the Middle Area of the #Gaza_Strip !
