Proud of this. Need to keep writing these things as world judders on with disabled people globally at the bottom of humanity's priority. Thank you to friends & allies who shared their hopes and fears. I cherish your trust. Onwards. @BylineTimes

Top of the tree ready and bringing you good tidings! 😇 You know I've always been an angel - it all started here, aged about 10 bringing a bit of cheek to the Angel Gabriel at the school Nativity. #writerslife #angelic #seasonsgreetings

Join me in the blue space friends! For work purposes I'll be lurking on X but after recent waves of ableist hate it's time for less interaction here. Look forward to seeing you all there in hopes that it stays bright blue & less hateful. #writerslife

You know I live a lovely flashback! This glorious pic's from December 2018. 'That’s What She Said' at the legendary Royal Albert Hall (albeit with a ramp faff as per usual) and such fun with @salenagodden @reecelyons_ and Rosie Garland x #flashbackfriday #writerslife

Here's my cat. I'm slowly moving active participation to the blue... Search me in that space. Be great to have you there. Meanwhile, a revelation. No publisher has taken on my novels. Yes. Novels. Open to offers. Not exactly a beginner. #writerlife #tired #disability #BlackCat

Thanks to all who came down to the Hastings Museum and Art Gallery to spend some time on the International day of Disabled People. These things take it out of me a bit more now but it's so important (and fun) to get together and celebrate! #disabilityhistorymonth #writerslife✒️

I watched live... At result I burst into tears and hugged a friend. As a DNR survivor I felt sick with fear and anger. For us all. And I can never, ever give up this fight. #AssistedDyingBill #AssistUsToLive @thelizcarr @TheNotDeadYetUK
MPs vote to support assisted dying bill MPs have voted 330 to 275 in support of the assisted dying bill A difference of 55 We will never give up fighting ✊

#AssistUsToLive thank you friends ❤️
Today we're outside Parliament as the Assisted Dying bill is being debated and voted upon. No DDPO (Deaf and Disabled People's Organisation) supports AD. We want Government to #AssistUsToLive, not to die. DPAC's Zoom peer support from 9:30-4:30 today:
