The attack on working from home reverses a trend towards fuller participation in the UK's work-force by people with a range of disabilities.

A key advance for many disabled workers has been the ability to perform jobs remotely, fitting in with their care needs & combatting workplace discrimination based on appearance.

If the Govt. is keen to keep the disabled working if possible, then supporting home-working is a key element of any strategy!

URGENT MUTUAL AID REQUEST

$170/2000

Hello all! It's your friendly neighborhood mod Glitch, and I am in need of your help!

I am a trans nonbinary neurodivergent individual with ME/CFS and degenerative disc disease (lower spine) who is currently unable to work and I have not been able to qualify for disability.

I'm in need of help with funds to cover cat food/cat litter, personal care and hygiene items, household needs and other items not covered by my EBT. I am also putting funds aside to replace my laptop that died, since I need a working computer in order to be able to take on some remote side work and be able to stream in order to keep my benefits. Help is greatly appreciated!

If you prefer donating to throne to help replace the laptop, this is the link:

Braverman has said she will rip up the Equalities Act on Day One

“social and gender transitioning will be banned in all schools, no ifs no buts”.

#disability charity Sense said that removing the protections afforded by the Equalities Act would be a “significant step backwards” and would “increase uncertainty and risk for millions of disabled people and their families

When questioned, she was somewhat flummoxed when told the Equalities Act guaranteed Maternity Pay

But, what would she know

"how are you going?"

URGENT February Mutual Aid (442/1200) food/med/heat insecurity

We need to hit $800 total by 2/23 for doctors

It's February and that means more expenses. My family is living on a single disability check which barely covers utilities, and being poor, disabled, queer, biracial, immunocompromised, and lots of other things that society frowns upon is very expensive. Even beyond that, the fascists have their nails dug in pretty deep here in the US south, and it's a scary place to be.

We need $800 for grocery, clinic, medical supplies, rx, and $400 to replace our dead water heater because going through that freeze without running hot water was awful, to put it mildly.

You can help!

Hospital acquired Covid has a 10% fatality rate.

It’s almost completely preventable with respirators and clean air, but healthcare facilities have chosen a policy of forced infection instead.

Let this case set a precedent & start forcing hospitals to adopt airborne precautions!

URGENT February Mutual Aid (442/1200) food/med/heat insecurity

$358 more needed NOW
and the rest (400) by end of month

It's the middle of February and that means more urgent expenses. My family is living on a single disability check which barely covers utilities, and being poor, disabled, queer, biracial, immunocompromised, and lots of other things that society frowns upon is very expensive.

I've also been posting semi-regular updates on the new PNGTuber system I'm slowly working on. It's rad.

@EricIndiana
Sadly not the same as the one with the glowing Kirkus review from 2009

But the author’s site talking about its semi-autobiographical (!) punk rock OCD #disability narrative for #YA readers makes it sound quite tempting

I think I might get this book
