Hi #DisabilityTwitter thought I’d introduce myself for those who might not know me. I’m Jonathan, my preferred name is Jono, and I have Moebius Syndrome, a rare facial difference condition. I Tweet about politics (a lot) and disability related topics. :) Nice to meet you!.

Is Labor perfect? No. Am I a fan of every single one of its policies? Also no. Is Anthony Albanese perfect? Absolutely not. But I’m buoyed by an actually competent front bench and a decency not seen for some time.

While I’m at it, equating masculinity to drinking at the pub is definitely not it. Masculinity shouldn’t be defined by how many schooners you can knock back. No wonder there’s a mental health crisis amongst young men.
