The diary is just the start. Never stay in a relationship with someone who wants something from you and won’t accept β€œNo” as an answer.

Positive Action Scheme

The Guardian’s positive action work experience is open for applications! There are (paid) schemes for disabled, BAME, and working class wannabe journalists.

Because the media needs more people like us.

Refugee status to be temporary as Shabana Mahmood rips up rules on UK asylum Home secretary announces 30-month protection limit, with refugees required to leave if their home countries are later judged safe

🚨 From today, every person granted refugee status in the UK will be given temporary status of just 30 months.

Short-term leave traps people in cycles of uncertainty, making it much more difficult for them to rebuild their lives in our communities.

But I don’t think it’s a case of not learning. When you get that low in energy, your brain isn’t functioning well and can’t always make the connection to what you need or remember what helped last time.

I know a few people (not just ME/CFS) who benefit from that - and some of them I will ask when they last had an injection when they’re feeling more exhausted than usual. It’s often the answer.

A hardback book with a light green cover, with line drawings of three women - one holding a protest sign resting upside-down on the ground, facing another drinking through a straw, and apart from them one holding a megaphone by her side. The title, disorientation, in white lowercase text is zig-zagged across the middle. The author’s name, Elaine Hsieh Chou, is in black across the top.

I am so very tired of People Who Should Know Better not using ALT text.

"Here's my piece of intersectional art .. without ALT text"

"Inclusion is important to me. Here's an infograph without ALT text!"

"How can we make this world better? My manifesto .. without ALT text."
