Might look like some tiny country lane but it is the main route linking the High Peak to Sheffield. What an entitled fool.

If you feel you’ve failed at life when you had been given opportunities to do well you are going to be angry at other people that you perceive as being helped.

Look to your own failings first.

This is were ableism is rooted in a lack of self awareness.

To stay on task, active activity I have to be listening to music or a pod cast or an audio book.

If it’s written task I need silence.

It has taken me a thousand years to find this out . 🀣

The right wing β€˜ celebrities’ mostly β€˜ freelance journalists’ or simply appear to live of nerfarious funding shout and scream about the disabled/ benefits / motability/ migration etc stirring a pot of hatred whilst seemingly never doing a days real work.

No one get benefits for β€˜a bit of anxiety’
Generalised Anxiety disorder is a mental health disorder that produces fear, worry, & a constant feeling of being overwhelmed. A persistent feeling of anxiety or dread that interferes with how you live your life & stops you functioning

NOT β€œfree cars”, the Motability scheme allows disabled people to use their Pip to lease new cars for three years. The scheme is run by a private company, overseen by a charitable foundation, that buys new cars then leases them to claimants for three years before selling them on.

I do find it curious that the NHS will happily give me a vaccine for one highly contagious respiratory virus (weedy asthmatic) but not for the other. Last year I qualified for a Covid vaccination due to caring responsibilities, but that's gone this year too.

Our female pet rat had hormone aggression. So she had to have a hormone implant . They anaesthetised her so she wouldn’t be in distress. I said to the male vet the rat is getting better/ gentler treatment than any women I know .
