NDIS Minister Mark Butler saying it was designed to support 410,000 people when there are 5.5 million disabled people in Australia...

I’m really struggling with the ableism regarding NDIS. I was a clinical nurse consultant for 30 years, I’ve paid my taxes. I have multiple sclerosis, it took me a long time to swallow my pride and apply for help.
The hate on here makes me feel worthless.

"autism creep" maybe the grossest phrasing you could've used here. congrats

hello brands, I hope this helps - if you use generative AI, I will think less of you as a brand and will make a deliberate effort to avoid your products in the future

My Beloved 14yo cat Cookie was seriously unwell over the weekend and is still not out of the woods so I started a GoFundMe for her as I'm currently 3 grand in debt from the emergency vet and she still needs help so more costs to come. details in the GFM gofund.me/c021bd8d6

Talking to my psych about the real issue that a) autistics catastrophise but b) there is an actual catastrophe happening, especially for marginalised populations.
It’s hard to look up at the stars or sky when you’re constantly walking along the edge of a crumbling precipice.

Guess how well I can wipe my bottom, people.
You didn’t want to know? Well, the government are going to assess my wiping ability. True story.
This is wild.
Here is a sneak peak at a new NDIS assessment tool report & it's WILD folks. Looks like tens of thousands of Aussies are about to be subjected to compulsory govt assessments rating how well we wash ourselves, go to the toilet or fold our clothing #auspol tinyurl.com/mtauh4er

applying for any welfare payment is basically this now
been saying this a bit lately, but: a core experience of being a welfare recipient in this country is being illegally harmed by government systems, and trying to pick yourself up to fight for basic justice and accountability for it

Hey @Twitch. This is Scar. He is a disabled Minecraft streamer who just won a Twitch Rivals Event (MCC) but unfortunately, he was unable to get on stage due to it being inaccessible. The twitch community would appreciate it if you were to make the venues accessible for everyone.

Remember when googling a word actually gave you that neat little box with meaning, synonyms, antonyms, etymology, even phonetic transcription. Now it's been replaced by AI slop overview which is objectively worse completely useless. THIS IS ENSHITTIFICATION!
