I’ve seen this happen twice to other people when I’ve been on a ward & it just blows my mind. How are people so fucking ignorant?! Not a single part of me understands it.

There are people getting angry about the use of the word “people” in this tweet but it didn’t even register with me when I read it. How do women see the word people & take offence?! So odd.

Instagram post, so here’s a quick story about trying to die, the things & people who keep us safe, & about the Doctor Who saved my life 💙💙
RTs are okay & if anyone can pass this on to the cast, that would be fab 😂
Y’all, if you agree that ableism has NO place within the Doctor Who fandom,
pls like &/or RT this tweet.
Show the pricks they’re not wanted by the rest of us.
Show your support for Ruth Madeley 💙💙
D’ya know what I wanna see from a companion in Who?

Not to mention the fact that by not working we miss out on the basic day-to-day social interaction that 90% of other people take for granted.
Royal Mail posties are (generally) the only delivery drivers that are actually helpful/considerate when I open the door whilst using my walking stick & only have one free hand.
So many others just launch boxes at me like they’re playing hot potato.
Me, a disabled person: Ruth Madeley’s casting is a big deal because it’s a long term role & most of the other disabled characters on the show have been used as plot devices, which isn’t quite the same as legit representation.
Non-disabled man on Twitter: Actually, you’re wrong.
There is a new Eleven/Clara novel out in the Spring, and I've heard NOTHING about it - the BBC &

Deets:
It’s been a few days & I’m still thinking about this 💫
I really hope the tardis flips it’s own ramp in the future though, so Shirley, & other wheelchair using companions, don’t have to rely on someone abled-bodied to get inside the tardis… hopefully that’s been considered 🤞🏻

May I ask what reason they give for sending your partner out of the room? Surely if the person carrying the child is happy & comfortable with their partner being there, that’s all that matters? No pressure for a reply if going into detail is upsetting for either of you ☺️

I’ve said this before but, Millie has gone from a popular UK soap to a show loved worldwide; that’s going to be hard for anyone, but especially for an 18yo.
Now she has to deal with the press spreading rumours about her being “axed” after one series.
I’m so pissed.
“Characters with disfigurements or disabilities who are evil faaaaar outweigh the good guys of the same description in entertainment. Even nowadays.”
Exactly this.
Times *should* change and this was long overdue.
Characters with disfigurements or disabilities who are evil faaaaar outweigh the good guys of the same description in entertainment. Even nowadays.
Those legacy characters don’t *all* have to change or be retired…but some can.
Everyone should read this book because it’s fucking outstanding🔥
Two days ago I stayed up reading until 4:00am; yesterday I stayed up until 3:30am; today I finished it at 2:45am. Not a single regret. Absolutely brilliant.

Thank you! That guy is talking BULLSHIT no way was he trying to help. Who the fuck steals a car with their two kids??? So disgusting. I hope the children are okay, I’d be having nightmares 😔
Another disabled person’s opinion that’s different from mine.
That’s right y’all, we can have differing opinions within the same community & respect them 😱
Speaking out as a disabled man in a wheelchair, I am highly offended by Russell T. Davies' claim to change Davros to no longer be in a wheelchair, for fear of offending people like me. What the hell comes next. Changing a Dalek for fear of offending a salt shaker. World gone mad.
@isaacjroberts
Looove being told that my spinal condition doesn’t make me disabled because I don’t always need my walking stick or because I look “normal” or because I’m clever or because I’m “such a pretty young lady” BLAH BLAH BLAH
I don’t want to talk about Who yet, wanna keep it to myself & stay in a happy lil bubble, but
Having a disabled character whose disability doesn’t appear to be a plot device is HUGE* & I really hope

The amount of abled-bodied people speaking over the disabled community on the Davros thing is expected but still irritating.
& even if you’re disabled & “don’t get it”, many disabled people are happy to be heard so maybe everyone can just respect that? Maybe? Just a little?

Do you always have a camera filming when you’re out with Ava? If it’s okay to ask.
You can almost hear the cogs in Ava’s brain working, trying to figure out what to do & what’s the best way to keep you safe 😔 Bless her heart. There are obstacles on the path all the time where I

I think you’ll find you completely missed the fucking point. She’s saying that she wants to be in a better place, mentally & physically, before taking on extra responsibility & pressure. The pressure of responsibility can cause relapses so she’s putting her health first.
