Just called my rep AGAIN to tell them to sign onto this. Every D in the House should be a cosponsor. Yes, it won't pass the R-controlled House, but we have to make this an issue.

Please feel free to call your own rep if you feel similarly! You can find them here: www.house.gov/representati...

This is a subtweet about Frankenstein because I don't want to be a dick, but I also want some facts out there. 1. Most novels at the time were anonymous. We can't make definite judgements about why Mary Shelley's name wasn't on it. It was common practice. The novel was barely respectable. 1/?

It’s like someone managed to do a 3D rendering of a drawing by a psychotic 3 year old… oh wait.

Another thing you can do is call Dick Durbin's office and demand he stand up for democracy and haul Alito and Thomas before the Senate Judiciary Committee. And publicly demand their resignations. If you can't literally impeach them, AT LEAST use the bully pulpit. 202-224-2152.

1. I was commissioned to adapt Chapter 6 of my autobiographical graphic novel Muscle Memory into a multi-media piece that would improve access to the work using dramatised audio in addition to alt text, animation and visual mixes. Here’s some shots of the team:

1. The Idiot: Drawing of the idiot in the new Lockdown 4 sequence for Muscle Memory, who tried to stop me getting by on my first day out in my wheelchair after self-isolating for a year during the pandemic. He was threatening to pull my mask off and ‘infect me’. He got a twisted knee for his trouble

The effect was worldwide, the increase in anti-Asian violence here in the UK increased dramatically. The right here jumped on that bandwagon very quickly.

Four years ago. So deeply racist. This kind of talk contributed to the wave of anti-Asian violence. This is what Trump's reelection would bring back.

One thing that happens is they don’t allow enough luggage space for the wheelchairs, realise they won’t fit, and turn the wheelchair users away, seats are available, but not luggage space, and they aren’t going to take someone off the flight who’s already seated. Wheelchair users always go on last.

Much like with disability benefits, dense levels of bureaucracy designed to put people off, wear them down, so they don’t bother appealing/complaining.

Just the other week, a local writer was going to do an event in Scotland, and - well, the story will sound familiar to other wheelchair users...

Poor Maggie! It was about 500 meters to the car park, I weighed about 15 stone & had the large broken wheel on my lap. It took us both a week to recover. That was a few years ago, but I still regularly hear nightmare stories from wheelchair users, trying to use planes, trains & public transport!

The time they put it on the carousel instead of bringing it to the plane, we had to wait an hour until they found the guy & got him to unlock the lounge, only to find that it was broken, they wouldn’t let us take their chair out, so Maggie had to get me to the car in a chair with only 1 large wheel!

I’m usually pretty chill waiting in airports, as long as I’m not waiting for my wheelchair which they’ve accidentally put on a flight to Portugal, or Saudi Arabia, or Japan. Or left it on the luggage carousel, locked the room and gone home. You know apart from that.

Hang in there Tess. Sending hugs! I just focus on putting one foot in front of the other… which is kinda tricky in a wheelchair, 😀

2. and another at the end of the episode. My parents thought it coincidence, but it happened again the following week, so we turned the volume off for the end music, no seizure. From then on it was my job to control the volume every week. We didn’t have remote controls then so I had to make sure

1. I saw almost every episode of Doctor Who, from the 1st William Hartnell, to the last Tom Baker, missed a few while in hospital. Thing is only heard the theme tune 3 times. Why? I hear you ask, well I’ll tell you. As soon as the music started, my sister had a seizure, and another at the end.
