@timrichards Feedback on train-travel with wheelchair using son-in-law in UK:
Local trains in NW Preston to Windemere AMAZING. Wchair markings on platform to show where to wait. Space for wchair in carriage. Guard on-hand every station to help with a ramp. 10/10

Local train London to Brighton and London to Stansted Airport: none of the above. Just had to run with wchair and get on where we could.

Luggage racks on UK trains WAY too small to fold up his chair so we had to leave it open and he sat in it in door space. He is able to step onto train with us helping. If hed been fully wchair user, he wouldve had terrible trouble.

The stairs I've been trying to build are absolutely not working, so I'm going to need to get a scaffold to get up to the roof top, through the hatch hole I've made, to make the roof repairs. The scaffold is going to cost about $200.

As I'm disabled as is my husband, who'll likely be getting cataract surgery soon, I am doing this on my own, hence the need for more tools and equipment.

So I've learned incandescent light bulbs are going to be banned soon, meanwhile halogen bulbs will pretty surely explode in my house, LEDs worsen my spouse's cataracts and fluorescents make me sick.

So now within my home repairs I've basically got to redo & start lighting design setups that'll mostly rely upon oil lamps as my only other "safe" option, is to buy about 1,000 lightbulbs before they're banned and deal with rewiring my home for them later....

But this is supposed to be about "safety" and "environmental protection" right????

@khthoniaa @Crazypedia *Nods* I'm Jewish and have been nearly starved as a result of a combination of the antijewish and ableist bigotry I've faced in the US poverty aide systems, beyond other injuries, so the rather constant drumbeat that is against any and all forms of religions being practiced, while lip service only is given to disability accessibility needs - as accomodations are only "given" if they're also needed by lead organizers, has been among the biggest reasons why I've walked away from most leftists... especially organizers.

It isn't that I truly disagree with them on many issues & if anything I'm generally far more radical than they are in changes I want that are on their same concept lines, but the biases and bigotry that they have are often too much to get passed in continued alliance &/or friendships.

Sharing this again for my disabled friend, who's a disabled mother, in need of help to pay medical debts, taxes and other bills, on the home left to her, by the abusive relative that she provided hospice care to. #DisabledNotDisposable #MutualAid @mutualaid

She needs to get these things paid, as otherwise she will become homeless.

@selfagency Oh & for anyone who thinks they "serve" in terms of serving vulnerable people like disabled. Disabled are the top/most killed & mamed minority group, so they only serve us (disabled people) up into early graves. #ACAD #DisabledNotDisposable

I know this woman from the birdie site and as in part this friend has helped me in the past, I'm hoping this will extend her reach to get this help that she needs. She needs this, so that she can at least try to see Drs again for her chronic conditions.

Emergency financial relief is needed for persons with disabilities now. I call on the govt. to do that work. Why won’t the liberals get people the support they need. #endpoverty #derb
