I am taking a break from social media for a while. The public consumption of horrific trauma as the Epstein files are released is beyond words. I want to witness, but not to raw, unfiltered abuse while I eat my breakfast. Available at [email protected]. Stay safe. R

This! You take my 'free' car and 'handouts', and I'll have back my successful career in music therapy. My ability to pick up my instruments and play. My ability to play in orchestras. My ability to sing, teach, mentor. Any day.
And actually, while I’m on the subject on #disabilitybenefits …
Calling them benefits is fairly messed up in itself.
There are no benefits to being so unwell you have to rely on money from the government/taxpayer.
It doesn’t address the grief, loss, of being unable to work
Let me clear up a couple of things for you.
Motability cars are not free.
Without UC my family and I would be homeless.
PIP fraud is less than 1%, statistically insignificant.
Stop targeting disabled
people who have enough shit on their plates already!
Just watched #Nightbitch, it was utterly incredible and I really felt it in my bones. Motherhood is a type of horror, we just don't speak of it. It is far from all fun and play. Wouldn't change it, but glad to see some representation.

This. There are significant parts of Christianity who hold a status quo, discourage questioning, deny their own diverse heritage and are wilfully ignorant lest their sandcastles crumble. I say let them fall!
Indeed. And until we're willing to tackle the theological question(s) head on, all the lessons learned reviews in the world are not going to lead to change of the depth and breadth that's needed.
