I park my wheelchair next to David’s armchair, lean on it, say hello darling… I can’t believe he’s gone
It’s easier to find a dog-walker than a carer
I am trapped, paralysed and fighting chronic pain – let me decide when it ends
A cold childhood casts a long shadow
Why I’m glass half full in January
‘The only way for me to cope with Christmas is to disregard it’
No more BMWs for the disabled. We don’t get to be middle class
When no news is good news
Euphemisms for death just kill me
AI can’t care for you
It’s my disability and I’ll laugh if I want to
Life is short, so fork out for that giant plant pot
‘Accessible’ new builds are fine to visit, but don’t move in
No one should have to prove their disability is not a scam
As the world burns, people head north – like swallows
Hotels are the final frontier of an ableist society
With animals, caring too much is as cruel as caring too little
It’s a privilege to choose my own bedtime
Stop treating disabled people as a political football
