Well, this is kinda cool. I made my first 'about me' website. It's here. samiamconnor.com There is information - including the info pack - about Crip College on this page. samiamconnor.com/crip-college.h… It's pretty basic. But you gotta start somewhere, right? #CripCollege

People have this unrealistic image of disabled people being surrounded by supportive family, doctors that take our conditions seriously, and tons of money from the govt. Y’all are gonna have a rude awakening when you become disabled. Most of us are barely surviving
Gareth Ward 'The NSW District Court jury returned a unanimous verdict after the nine-week trial' "Mr Ward's position in the parliament is no longer tenable, and as such we call on him to resign immediately," they said.' abc.net.au/news/2025-07-2…
I have a wee bit of serotonin syndrome going on (thanks, med combo that includes Tapentadol and recommending drugs) and my breathing is a bit shit, plus it’s like thinking through mud. Probably be helpful not to have a cat on my chest LOL Smitten says NO. Peak non compliance!
When I was flying out of Seattle, I took a few quick snaps of Mount Rainier on my phone. I just edited one of them (straightened, cropped, contrast) and got this.
Got knocked for DSP last week, spent 45 minutes on the phone with Centrelink today, had to top up my prepaid mobile just to confirm my new lease had been uploaded as they sent me a message informing no further rental support. That creates a choice of eating or not for a week. ffs
Australia is right alongside the US and UK in genociding 'useless mouths' as they too move towards their own Aktion T4 genocide campaign.
In the week before the closing of the consultation for the 'lists', the NDIA has decided that it is not reasonable, nor necessary, for a four year old child to stay alive. This is the work of bureaucrats at DSS. They are killing us. And they don't care. linkedin.com/posts/chris-co…
Are these stringent box ticking rules just paving the way for an AI conyrolled NDIS system?

“Maeve Boothby O’Neill died from ME shortly after her [27th] birthday. She was not the first and has not been the last to die from [ME] yet the BMJ made no correction to the claim that Maeve died from malnutrition and dehydration…both easily treatable conditions in Britain.”
The BMJ @bmj_latest has not published a rapid resopnse from Maeve Boothby O'Neill's mum, Sarah, to its ME/CFS "hope" propaganda piece from members of the biopsychosocial ideological brigades. So I have posted it here: virology.ws/2025/07/23/tri…
Labor have given this twat the leeway to pull these stunts He should be in prison for Robodebt and a score of other corrupt endeavours Remember Shorten gibbering about Robojustice? 🙄

New Labor MP for Griffith Renee Coffey also spoke about Pauline Hanson & her racist speech in parliament in 1996 saying this speech “gave rise to a new wave of racism” which is what prompted her to run for parliament.
ableds having their first realization that disabled ppl simply die or suffer deeply without access to many inventions & services extending far beyond DoorDash will never fail to amaze me. like they just learned yesterday some ppl can’t stand, use limbs, etc. incredible stuff
I’ve been put in a room with a woman who has “infectious pneumonia” so #COVID19. She is coughing up a lung & refuses to mask. @Dave_Eby @Providence_Hlth @Josie_Osborne You have put me & the other 3 sick women in the room at-risk for deadly airborne illness. #bcpoli 1/
