Not leaving but fading, yet always in rebellion! Big love to you Julie (starting 80s salon-y nights in Feb. Hopefully) x

I watched live... At result I burst into tears and hugged a friend. As a DNR survivor I felt sick with fear and anger. For us all. And I can never, ever give up this fight. #AssistedDyingBill #AssistUsToLive Liz "blue tick" Carr Not Dead Yet UK

Thanks to all who came down to the Hastings Museum and Art Gallery to spend some time on the International day of Disabled People. These things take it out of me a bit more now but it's so important (and fun) to get together and celebrate! #disabilityhistorymonth #writerslife✒️

Here's my cat. I'm slowly moving active participation to the blue... Search me in that space. Be great to have you there. Meanwhile, a revelation. No publisher has taken on my novels. Yes. Novels. Open to offers. Not exactly a beginner. #writerlife #tired #disability #BlackCat

You know I live a lovely flashback! This glorious pic's from December 2018. 'That’s What She Said' at the legendary Royal Albert Hall (albeit with a ramp faff as per usual) and such fun with @salenagodden @reecelyons_ and Rosie Garland x #flashbackfriday #writerslife

Join me in the blue space friends! For work purposes I'll be lurking on X but after recent waves of ableist hate it's time for less interaction here. Look forward to seeing you all there in hopes that it stays bright blue & less hateful. #writerslife #Disability #Bluesky #love

OOhhh.. I'm not quite sure why, but there has been a flurry of interest in Spiral Sky over on Blue Sky. My Spiral Sky LP (1994) was top of the Greek charts for a week in 1994! check out 'Marriage of Convenience' youtube.com/watch?v=MsZUAS…

Top of the tree ready and bringing you good tidings! 😇 You know I've always been an angel - it all started here, aged about 10 bringing a bit of cheek to the Angel Gabriel at the school Nativity. #writerslife #angelic #seasonsgreetings

How many times must I tell parliamentarians PIP is not an out of work benefit. It is to cover the extra costs associated with disability. PIP assists us to navigate our way through life – which includes accessing education, jobs, and day-to-day survival in an ablest world!

Thank you for already sharing. We have to keep speaking out by whatever means we can. It's a humanity thing! As long as I can breathe I'll be doing this work. Disability is everyone, everywhere. Resist division. Byline Times #TakingThePIP
