A friend of a friend, who is blind, got placed in “accessible” accommodation recently where all the amenities (washing machine, microwave, intercom etc.) are touchscreen, if ever you wonder how fucking ignorant non-disabled people can be. #AccessibilityMatters

So… this is how I reclaim myself after a trauma. Most of you know that after spending 18 months in pain I had to have all my teeth removed last year, and I now wear full dentures. Well, how does a horror writer move on from that? They make their own custom vampire dentures from polymorph plastic... show more

Why do services always make disabled people “jump through hoops” to get the support they need and deserve? Oh, wait… I know the answer. 😐 You know what a lot of disabled people would like to do? Be employed. And you know what makes it easier for disabled people to get and stay in employment?... show more

I would like you all to congratulate me on my maturity as when my audiologist—while putting goo in my ears to make hearing aid moulds—said that unlike some audiologists he “likes to go in deeper”, I did not smirk, laugh nor make a lewd comment.

Every NZ news outlet that’s currently running panic stories about the COVID “fifth wave” can get in the fucken sea. They were all quite happy to tell us it was over a few months ago when it clearly wasn’t. Irresponsible twats, the lot of them. COVID is not over and it’s never been over because... show more

We’re saying “you need to toughen up and not soothe yourself in ways other people can see” and that’s so wrong. I still remember... show more
