Disabled people are not scamming the system.

We're not the reason for high taxes or economic hardship.

We're a scapegoat. A distraction so you donโ€™t focus on the billionaires and corporations benefitting from huge tax cuts.

Itโ€™s exceedingly hard to qualify for disability benefits.

Haha, ja. Sie lassen keine Trirides mehr in die U-Bahn, weil angeblich Unfallgefahr. Ist aber ein Hilfsmittel mit Hilfsmittelnummer. Zahl die Kasse.

Habe heute bei dm eine Diskussion zu Passfotos erlebt. Der Mann war vom Bรผrgeramt zu dm geschickt worden. Ich lebe nicht in Deutschland, fรผr mich war das alles wie vom anderen Planeten. Es ging um Passfotos und um QR-Codes. Es war kafkaesque.

Das Unternehmen X wollte mit der Republica kooperieren, sagt Markus Beckedahl, er habe die Anfrage aber gar nicht erst beantwortet. "Faschisten geben wir keinen Raum auf der Republica." Das jรคhrliche Digitaltreffen solle stattdessen "Hoffnung geben" auf eine "bessere digitale Welt". Deswegen bekรคmen Menschen eine Bรผhne, die dem weltweiten Rechtsruck und Autoritarismus etwas entgegensetzten - etwa durch den Civis-Medienpreis, der Vielfalt belohnt.

If I want to go shopping in Bluewater, I go to Bluewater. And if I meet friends after 8 pm, I meet them after 8pm. And I don't consider changing that anytime soon. And I recommend that anyone needing assistance do the same.

PSA: I will not live my life based on how well train operators in this country are operating and willing to provide assistance. I have a life-limiting condition, I live my life now and my time is precious, not in 20 years' time when they have hopefully sorted themselves out.

We gather not only to say goodbye to Lisa, but to celebrate
the person Lisa was and the impact she has had on our lives.
Please email me at c.fodor@outlook.com if you are planning
to attend the funeral or would like the link to the live stream,
which I will provide closer to the time. If you are attending in
person, please let me know by 28/4/2025 as the funeral
director needs a sense of numbers.
During the service, there will be a photo montage of Lisa's
life. If you would like any photos / memories of Lisa / quotes
from Lisa's blog etc included, please let me know.
If you have any questions or need further details, do feel free
to reach out.
My thoughts are with everyone during this difficult time,

Relevant to the 'disabled people need to work' discussions:
A contact of mine applied for a job.
They asked for one small cost-free 'reasonable adjustment'.
The employer promptly told them they couldn't have this.
No discussion.
