I was watching a video by another wheelchair user and they were basically showing how inconvenient the timings of bus passes can be sometimes.
For reference, their bus pass is only for "off-peak" travel and does not work after 11pm or before 930am. Mine is the same, although I think if I show it I'm supposed to be allowed on for 50p (that's rarely adhered to, but still). It's different across the country, and I know at first glance that those times don't seem like they would be an issue in theory. But if you work, or you have an appointment, or you're a student or you just have to be somewhere during those times, then it's basically another redundant piece of plastic in your pocket.
The whole point of their video was basically the same as that "we're disabled, not werewolves, Daniel" post. Why doesn't it work during those times? Did they not consider the fact that people may need to use the bus during those times? They did link to a government petition to get this changed, but they didn't push it in the video itself, it was just in the caption.
Not once did they ever mention during their video an inability or unwillingness to pay for the bus themselves, but, incredibly, that is how some people have taken it.
I've seen takes along the lines of:
"It's the same for elderly people and you don't see them complaining."
"And?? Most people can't even get free bus travel."
"Your wheelchair stops other people getting the bus during peak travel times."
"Buses are cheap? Why can't you just buy a ticket like everyone else?"
"Other people need the bus, not just you."
And it just- pissed me off honestly. It might be because it's an issue I've ranted about before, or it might be the fact that half of their counter "arguments" had absolutely no relevance to what the original poster was saying anyway!
There are a thousand other issues with getting the bus as a disabled person- some of them those people even inadvertently brought up! The bus pass is just the bitter cherry on a rotten cake.
And if this is the way people react to that being brought up by someone who has to live with it, I dread to think what else they'll take issue with next.

while i don't think it means slavery is back in england, it is geninuely distressing to see an official tweet from the uk's prime minster read "If you come to the UK illegally...You canā€™t benefit from our modern slavery protections..." like I'm sorry what the fuck

Things that I feel like would happen when youā€™re in a relationship with Simon Riley.
Simon Riley masterlist
Tumblr media
1. First off he hates the word ā€˜boyfriendā€™.
Maybe itā€™s because heā€™s in his mid thirties or something but he canā€™t stand being called your boyfriend. Heā€™s more than that but also not at the same time. You live together, have access to each otherā€™s bank accounts (which is only because he hates it when you try to fight him about him giving you money), and youā€™re each others emergency contact. He thinks of himself as your husband. The man wears a silicone ring when heā€™s home and a necklace with the ring thatā€™s totally not a wedding band when heā€™s working. Price has seen the chain once or twice and smirks, shooting him a knowing look but never says a word.
Simon cannot stand it when people get nosy and want to know what your relationship status is. Youā€™re together and thatā€™s all that matters. No one needs to know that youā€™re the beneficiary of his will and life insurance policy or that heā€™s put you on all of his accounts. No one needs to know that he buys you anything you want but has only ever bought you two rings; a thin gold band with a flower engraved on it and its twin a matching emerald ring. No one needs to know that when he gifted them to you, there were tears and promises of safety, love, and happiness whispered against feverish skin. No one needs to know that he has your name woven into his chest tattoo.
No one needs to know any of that because your relationship is between him and you only.
2. You are not some submissive little house wife. You are a strong independent woman and he prefers it that way.
I know this one goes against what most people say but hear me out on this. Simon has been independent since birth practically. Heā€™s only had himself to count on for years. Even in the military, heā€™s only been able to rely himself. Sure the others watch out for him but if it came down to it, heā€™s the only one whoā€™s going to get himself out alive.
The thought of someone else relying on him in that way is terrifying. He canā€™t even fathom what it would be like to look at another person and fully trust them in that way. Half the time he feels like he canā€™t even be trusted to take care of himself let alone another human. In theory a sweet docile housewife is great with the meals and clean house but not for him. He needs to know that you can hold your own. He needs to know that you can be independent and carry on without him if something happened while he was working. He needs to know that you will be okay if he doesnā€™t come back.
You have to be okay without him no matter how much it pains him to think about it.
Like I said before, heā€™s made you the beneficiary of everything so he knows youā€™ll be set financially but thatā€™s not enough. Heā€™s made Price promise to keep an eye out for you. Heā€™s made you promise to let Price do that and you agreed because itā€™s Simon whoā€™s asking but youā€™d tell anyone else to fuck off.
In addition to all of that, heā€™s installed the best security system the government has to offer in your house. You have a very expensive and large safe in your shared closet that heā€™s instructed you to only open if you feel unsafe. While you might not like it, you agree to go shooting with him so he can sleep at night knowing that you could protect yourself if heā€™s not home. Heā€™s gone as far as to make sure you have all of the licenses and certificates that are needed to legally own firearms in the UK.
Heā€™s not leaving any opportunity for you to be vulnerable or have your ā€˜safety checksā€™, as he calls them, taken away.
3. Simon Riley is a godless manā€¦until he meets you.
Now this is entirely my own headcannon with no evidence to support it so bear with me.
Simon had a shitty childhood where his mom would pray to a god who never listened and his dad would shout verses at him when he was drunk. God was a mythical figure that he was told stories off with nothing to show for it. He did believe at one point but then his dad never got better, his mom wore bruises of every shade, and his brother found comfort in drugs.
He found himself praying when he was being tortured by the Mexican cartel. Between the flashbacks of his abusive past, he prayed to a god who had failed him so many times before to help him. He prayed again as he dug himself out of that Texas grave with the majorā€™s jaw bone. He wailed his prayers when he found his family executed after Sparks tried to kill him.
After that he deemed himself a Godless man. Years of praying had passed with nothing. This god had decided that Simon was not worthy of a miracle so why would he continue to worship him?
That was until he met you. He finds himself praying before every mission, every time he has to leave you, every time heā€™s on his way home, and just about any other time he thinks of you. He doesnā€™t know what exactly heā€™s praying for other than for you to be there when he gets back.
He whispers his prayers to an absent god against your skin as he worships your body, soul, and heart. He promises to be devoted to you until his last breath and vows to find you again in whatever afterlife awaits you. He pledges to find solace in you and only you when his haunting nightmares return. He makes an oath to your heart that it will never weather another storm alone again for his will take whatever beating that comes your way. He shows you that he will love you in the same manner as a Hozier song; putting you above all else because you have become his religion, his faith, his beliefs, his life.
You have become all that he is and he thanks the god he once believed in for you. He prays again but to you, his heart, his love, and his beacon through the enteral storm of life.

this. this is exactly what I imagined how it would go. bruce is channeling arthur weasley. danny is just tired. this is beautiful. is that a fucking tank of coffee. I don't fucking know. danny's sweater says bitch. he probably borrowed it from jason. Bruce has a superman shirt. bruce is confused. it's 8 in the morning. danny is drinking a tank of coffee. does bruce have a new child. no but probably a new son in law. bruce has a superman shirt. danny is using a bat mug. this is exactly what i imagined how it would go.
Based on the Harry Potter screenshot, Danny Fenton having breakfast at Wayne Manor and Bruce being unsure if this is his child. Something after a sleepover or date night or something, and Bruce half-asleep being like "shit did I adopt a new child".

notes/replies on that last post (about Florida moving to ban all HRT for adults) suggest it was struck down by a judge, which is a relief obviously. but i do wanna pick up on the response being "set up DIY networks for HRT! organise and help each other!" which is cool and all but... as the latest reblog comment points out, T is a controlled drug.
some quick and dirty googling confirms testosterone is a Schedule III controlled drug in the USA, with most legal sources suggesting possession and/or distribution of Schedule III drugs is a 3rd degree felony. conviction can mean up to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine. crucially, in Florida (where this law was intended to come into force), selling or distributing a Schedule III drug to minors pushes it up to a 2nd degree felony with a harsher fine/sentence.
i make this point because the response to HRT being restricted is often some variation of "mutual aid DIY network" or just flat suggesting DIY to people as the solution. which is cool if you're on estrogen, but possessing testosterone without a prescription is a literal felony in the USA. T is also a controlled drug in the UK, where trans people face long waiting lists for HRT - it's not illegal to possess T for personal use, but it is illegal to get them sent to you from abroad (importing a controlled drug) and to give them to other people (supply). to legally get T you need a prescription from a doctor.
in a hostile transphobic environment there is no guarantee that prosecuters will decide not to charge trans people for DIYing HRT. "set up DIY networks" for transmascs basically translates to "set up an illegal drug ring".
this is a form of transphobia that affects transmascs but does not affect transfems. it also affects nonbinary and intersex folks seeking or using testosterone HRT. in fact it could potentially impact some nonbinary trans folks worse because the medical gatekeeping around trying to transition as nonbinary is already an uphill struggle.
it is not easy for those of us on T to just DIY it and fuck the system. without a valid prescription our HRT becomes a banned illegal steroid that can land us in serious legal trouble if we get caught, especially if we're distributing it to other people as part of a mutual aid setup. i know we're all very "be gay do crime" for the memes but we are talking about an actual factual go-to-jail-irl crime here.
the fact that our HRT is an illegal drug unless prescribed by a doctor is a form of transandrophobia that affects trans men, transmascs, nonbinary people on masculinising HRT, and intersex people who want or need testosterone. it means that:
we cannot DIY transition without committing a crime, and have to weigh up that risk when considering DIY as an option
setting up a mutual aid testosterone DIY network is even more of a crime, especially if you want to use it to help trans teens
we are thus more dependent on placating medical practitioners and convincing them to prescribe us HRT
we will always be more impacted by any moves to restrict or delay access to HRT because we don't have an easy, legal DIY option
when access to HRT is limited for transphobic reasons, the DIY option comes at much higher risk
where access to HRT is severely delayed (as it is in the UK by years-long waiting lists), it is easier for transfems to start DIYing while they wait than it is for transmascs to do the same thing. in fact in the UK they've started selling estrogen HRT over the counter for menopause, so here if you want to start estrogen DIY all you have to do is get a cis lady friend to ask a pharmacist for menopause treatments. if you wanna start T you have to go on the fucking dark web (I'm exaggerating but... not a lot)
none of this is intended to suggest that transfems don't experience medical transphobia or gatekeeping and this isn't a "trans men have it worse universally across the board" post. there are undoubtedly some areas where it's harder to be transfem. however, this is one area where it is clearly and demonstrably harder to be a trans man. i am pointing this out because i keep seeing people saying that transmascs have it easier or there's no systemic or structural transphobia targeting trans men or we only ever experience misdirected misogyny or whatever. here is your proof that that is not true. this is a form of structural and systemic transphobia that impacts trans men and not trans women. and there is no possible world in which you can argue that testosterone being a controlled drug is somehow misogyny.

"Doctors have begun trialling the worldā€™s first mRNA lung cancer vaccine in patients, as experts hailed its ā€œgroundbreakingā€ potential to save thousands of lives.
Lung cancer is the worldā€™s leading cause of cancer death, accounting for about 1.8m deaths every year. Survival rates in those with advanced forms of the disease, where tumours have spread, are particularly poor.
Now experts are testing a new jab that instructs the body to hunt down and kill cancer cells ā€“ then prevents them ever coming back. Known as BNT116 and made by BioNTech, the vaccine is designed to treat non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the most common form of the disease.
The phase 1 clinical trial, the first human study of BNT116, has launched across 34 research sites in seven countries: the UK, US, Germany, Hungary, Poland, Spain and Turkey.
The UK has six sites, located in England and Wales, with the first UK patient to receive the vaccine having their initial dose on Tuesday [August 20, 2024].
Overall, about 130 patients ā€“ from early-stage before surgery or radiotherapy, to late-stage disease or recurrent cancer ā€“ will be enrolled to have the jab alongside immunotherapy. About 20 will be from the UK.
The jab uses messenger RNA (mRNA), similar to Covid-19 vaccines, and works by presenting the immune system with tumour markers from NSCLC to prime the body to fight cancer cells expressing these markers.
The aim is to strengthen a personā€™s immune response to cancer while leaving healthy cells untouched, unlike chemotherapy.
ā€œWe are now entering this very exciting new era of mRNA-based immunotherapy clinical trials to investigate the treatment of lung cancer,ā€ said Prof Siow Ming Lee, a consultant medical oncologist at University College London hospitalsĀ NHSĀ foundation trust (UCLH), which is leading the trial in the UK.
ā€œItā€™s simple to deliver, and you can select specific antigens in the cancer cell, and then you target them. This technology is the next big phase of cancer treatment.ā€
Janusz Racz, 67, from London, was the first person to have the vaccine in the UK. He was diagnosed in May and soon after started chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
The scientist, who specialises in AI, said his profession inspired him to take part in the trial. ā€œI am a scientist too, and I understand that the progress of science ā€“ especially in medicine ā€“ lies in people agreeing to be involved in such investigations,ā€ he said...
ā€œAnd also, I can be a part of the team that can provide proof of concept for this new methodology, and the faster it would be implemented across the world, more people will be saved.ā€
Racz received six consecutive injections five minutes apart over 30 minutes at the National Institute forĀ HealthĀ Research UCLH Clinical Research Facility on Tuesday.
Each jab contained different RNA strands. He will get the vaccine every week for six consecutive weeks, and then every three weeks for 54 weeks.
Lee said: ā€œWe hope adding this additional treatment will stop the cancer coming back because a lot of time for lung cancer patients, even after surgery and radiation, it does come back.ā€ ...
ā€œWe hope to go on to phase 2, phase 3, and then hope it becomes standard of care worldwide and saves lots of lung cancer patients.ā€
The Guardian revealed in MayĀ that thousands of patients in England were to be fast-tracked into groundbreaking trials of cancer vaccines in a revolutionary world-first NHS ā€œmatchmakingā€ scheme to save lives.
Under the scheme, patients who meet the eligibility criteria will gain access to clinical trials for the vaccines that experts say represent a new dawn in cancer treatment."

I think a lot of physically abled people think that medical settings are designed to be accessible for physically disabled people, when that is so far from the truth.
I can't access half the rooms in my GP surgery, which often means that doctors have access to the computer system during my appointments because they're logged in upstairs and it would take too long for them to log out and then log back in. The GP practice also doesn't have any accessible parking spaces ā€“ I have to park in town and then walk/roll 20 minutes just to get there.
Then there's the fact that the equipment just isn't accessible. The GP practice cannot monitor my weight or perform certain physical exams because they don't have sitdown scales or any hoist safely transfer me on to an examination table. This meant I developed life-threatening starvation related ketoacidosis because my GP was unable to monitor my weight when I was unwell, so didn't realise how bad my malnutrition was.
A lot of wheelchair users in the UK resort to using veterinary practices because dog scales are more accessible than the scales in GP practices.
The same is true in hospitals. The majority of hospitals don't have changing places toilets so anyone who needs significant support from carers, or who need hoisting or an adult changing table can't use the toilet in hospital. When I was admitted recently every time I needed to transfer to a commode it took a significant amount of time to find people who had the appropriate training to use the hoist. And when those people were found, there wasn't really enough room to use one safely or with dignity. The commode that they had also did not meet my needs at all, and it's honestly a miracle I didn't fall, which given I'd just had surgery wouldn't have been good.
