I am happy to debate and discuss issues with people who disagree with me. However to safeguard my wellbeing, there are things that will likely prompt a block: -calls for death penalty -use of ableist or racists slurs -relying on insults to try and make your point Thanks

@StrayCatAgain @Lucy_Webster_ Many people on PIP do work. In many cases the PIP actually helps them *get* to work (helping with additional travel costs, if they can’t drive, for example). Or a TENS machine so they can manage pain during a day at work.
