tupress.temple.edu/books/disabili… includes a chapter by me, on Edward Thomas: 'The Superfluous Who “Neither Produce like the Poor nor Consume like the Rich”: Eugenics and the “Coloniality of Ability” in Edward Thomas’s The Happy-Go-Lucky Morgans (1913)'

From “moral deficiency” to “economic inactivity,” welfare reform rebrands eugenic thinking. Disability reframed as failure of character, sanctions replacing sterilisation. The fit are rewarded, the rest made disposable. #DisabilityJustice #WelfareReform

I have osteoarthritis and have been told I have inflammatory arthritis and hypermobility. I've had to make many adjustments to my life. If you have arthritis, what do you wish other people knew about it but don't? And what changes would you like to happen around care and support?

Did you know there is such a think as new style ESA? I did not, even though I went to a Job centre (which wasn't easy) and asked what support I might be eligible for (I was told universal credit).
