🔌 The energy crisis isn’t easy for anyone. But disabled people are among the hardest hit. That’s why we’re campaigning for a social tariff, and have been asking you over the last week to sign our petition with @Age_UK 🤝 But what is this social energy tariff? 🤔

"Blood is thicker than water" water flows freely, blood coagulates "You can choose your friends, you can't choose your family" If the love isn't flowing from your family, make a new one with friends who allow you to be yourself.

This afternoon I saw a man pull his car over just so he could get out and take a photo of a rainbow. What a wonderful reminder to appreciate the small things. 🥹🌈

SHOCKED AND DISGUSTED WITH ALBASTAR AIRLINES - told me I should wear a nappy on board as I’m disabled and they don’t have an aisle chair. This is what I had to resort to. Please share - This isn’t acceptable!!! #disabled #wheelchair #AlbastarAirlines

I know everyone is talking about the Will Smith and Chris Rock punch at The Oscars. I would rather use this moment to raise awareness about ableism and what Alopecia actually is for those who may not know. #DisabilityTwitter #Alopecia Thread 🧵 (1/5)

It’s really hit me that I’ve had more access to information, support and treatment in the first two months of being diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease than I’ve had in over 10 years of having a Fibromyalgia and ME/CFS diagnosis... #NEISvoid #MECFS #DisabilityTwitter

I think one of the hardest parts about having a chronic illness is that you feel like you’re always playing catch up

A remote workplace is an accessible workplace. Organizations denying remote work when it's been proven to work for many roles are practicing forms of ableism... 🙅🏼‍♂️
