Yeah I waited similar for chronic illness which is why I was wondering about it for this - was thinking if the wait was that long, everyone would be getting frozen shoulder. But hey ho, I finally get to go to Selby Abbey today hahah

If you are eligible for the mobility component of PIP, you can spend *your own money* topping that up to have a great accessible car. Critics should ask: Why are you against this? What it is about disabled people that makes you believe it’s wrong to have nice things they paid for themselves?

In basketball news they *can* appreciate, I complained literally once today about having to shoot one handed (can't get my left arm above my head still) and my coach heard + made sure to cheer really loudly every single time I scored after that, which made me feel very lucky 🥲

which like.. on the one hand, bit funny. on the other.. we don't know enough men/have enough male friends round to actually solve this problem so ??

It's so

Normally people jump away from the triride because they're spooked by the motor noise behind them (fair) so I'm very confused by today's apparent zombie hoard! I don't get it either, obviously I need both my hands so can't but the world is very interesting when you actually look at it

All these people were actually quite lucky I have quick reflexes because my braking distance is not great in the rain, and a triride to the shins sounds quite painful

Well you would think that but you aren't glued to your phone for a start

TRULY this is the systemic ableism we talk about

Is there something in the air today? I had about 5 people almost walk into my Triride (with the light on!) within about half a mile earlier

It won't let me post if I put alt text on pictures (??) so ID: two yellow chicane fences, designed to slow down cyclists, at the bottom of a smooth downhill slope. The handlebars of a wheelchair front assist are visible at the bottom
