I'm either climbing, chatting about disability or wheeling down hills.
Saielle DaSilva#UK folks, there's a petition to keep protection of transgender people in the equality act.
It's pretty scary being trans in this country at the moment, and we could use your help to protect our rights.
Feel free to share broadly/openly with others. Steal, boost, whatever. Let's get 100k signatures, please.
Petition: Commit to not amending the Equality Act's definition of sex
It has been reported that the Government may amend the Equality Act to "make it clear that sex means biological sex rather than gender." The Government has previously committed to not remove legal protections for trans people, an already marginalised group, but this change would do so.
I've had a form of chronic illness since I was about 16, 8 years now...but I never think I'll truly ever get used to flare-ups.
You're trundling along, happy as Larry and then bam! Wiped out.
People around you don't get it, you try to explain that it's not a new thing, but it's also not the same as the old thing.
And no matter how long you've been ill, it always feels overwhelming.
Ugh, rant over. Been a tricky few weeks over here ✌️
I work part-time and I totally love my job.
But the feeling of relief I get on a Wednesday evening when I know I've now got 4 days to rest before work again is something else 🙌😌
I'm usually big advocate for listening to your body and responding to what it needs.
Except right now it's telling me things I don't really want to hear, and that's really flipping annoying.
This wheelchair rugby league world cup final game is next level.
Apologies to my neighbours for the noise 😅
It's a work from home day today and I couldn't be more grateful.
A busy week and some busy days to come means I'm very nearly out of beans. So today I'm snuggled on the sofa under an electric blanket whilst working on my laptop. Working this way, I'll be more productive and less exhausted than if I'd gone into the office.
Employing disabled people isn't difficult, it just sometimes takes a little thought and flexibility.

I'm a bean who needs her sleep, like 8 hours minimum or I turn into a grumpy ball of pathetic uselessness.
I'm also a very stubborn bean.
I got a bit too engrossed on a project of mine tonight. I decided at the start that I would reach a certain point before I allowed myself to stop.
That was 7 hours ago... I'm still not done... My alarm goes off in 7 hours time.
I'm starting to question myself 🤦♀️
Loving watching people discover wheelchair rugby league for the first time this world cup. It's a freaking awesome sport. Really hope people catch the buzz and we can see some growth in our local clubs after this!

Hey Peeps ✌️
I'm Mary, a #disabled gal from the UK. I'm a lover of #climbing and #parasport in general. I'm very interested in #DisabilityRights and #Acessibility and work for #Coproduction of Health & Social Services. I'd love to connect with some new wonderful peeps in the disability community. Twitter always scared me, so I've put my brave face on and I'm giving this a go!
I've no idea what I'm doing, but feel free to come for the ride.
