PGP / SPD My story:

Save it for the people who actually see you. I’m done shrinking myself to fit into other people’s assumptions. If someone has already decided who you are without listening, without understanding, without respect… that’s not your space to prove yourself in. Not everything needs your energy. Not everyone deserves your explanation. Your energy is precious — especially when you’re already navigating the world with extra weight, extra barriers, extra battles people don’t see. Save it for the people who actually see you. The ones who listen. The ones who don’t twist your words into something they’ve already decided. You don’t owe access to people committed to misunderstanding you. Protect your peace. Protect your energy. Choose where you are seen, not where you are judged. ❤️ Sarah Wingfield ❤️ Independent Disability Advocate KawaiiDollDecora.uk #disabilityinclusion #strongertogether #protectyourpeace #boundariesmatter #disabilityadvocate 🌸 Alt Text: A square, neon kawaii-style digital artw...

Harassment Isn’t Resolution: There’s something I’ve learned — and been reminded of again recently: not everyone wants resolution . Some people want control of the narrative. I entered a conversation about disability, ableism, and respect — a conversation that should have been rooted in understanding, nuance, and lived experience. Because disability is not a competition. Pain is not a hierarchy. And comparing people’s struggles to minimise them is, and always will be, harmful. So I said that. I spoke from lived experience as someone who is AuDHD. I clarified my intent, explained that tone can be misread in text, and asked for kindness, for clarity, for basic respect. That should have been enough. But instead of engaging with what I actually said, the focus shifted — not to the message, but to me. Suddenly, I wasn’t someone raising a valid point. I was “high”. I was “dangerous”. I was “abusive”. And when someone stops addressing your words and starts attacking your character, your health...

Motability Changes and what it means: Motability updates: Motability scheme changes are harmful — but here’s what it actually means for you: Let’s be real… this isn’t just “policy updates.” This directly impacts disabled people’s independence, mobility, and quality of life. Here’s the breakdown: 👉 Mileage allowance: Reduced to 10,000 miles per year (30,000 over 3 years / 50,000 over 5 years WAV) 👉 Excess mileage: Increased to 25p per mile (including VAT) — meaning you pay more if you need to travel more 👉 Tyres : 3-year lease: up to 6 tyres 5-year WAV lease: up to 10 tyres 👉 EU breakdown cover: Now requires an admin fee + notification to RAC before travel Let’s call it what it is: Disabled people already face barriers to transport, healthcare, work, and independence. Reducing allowances while increasing costs isn’t support — it’s restriction. Independence shouldn’t come with penalties. Accessibility shouldn’t be conditional. And mobility is not a luxury — it’s a necessity. We deser...

The contradiction is exhausting. Disabled people are told: “Work harder.” “Be more independent.” “Contribute.” But then— Access is denied. Adjustments are refused. Healthcare is limited. Support is questioned. So which is it? You can’t block access to support and blame disabled people for struggling without it. You can’t deny reasonable adjustments and then question why someone can’t work. You can’t restrict healthcare and then accuse people of “not helping themselves.” That’s not accountability. That’s systemic failure. Disabled people are not the problem — barriers are. And until those barriers are addressed, this cycle of blame will continue to harm the very people who are already fighting just to exist in a world that wasn’t built for them.

  ~ Time changes all things… we are all specks of stardust ~ ✨💖 Like ice cream… we melt, we shift, we don’t stay perfectly held together forever. And that’s not failure—that’s nature. Nothing stays the same. Not the pain. Not the chaos. Not even the version of you that thought you wouldn’t survive it. We soften. We reshape. We become something new. And even in the mess, in the melting, in the in-between… we are still made of something ancient, something infinite. Stardust. 🌌 So be gentle with yourself. You’re allowed to change. You’re allowed to fall apart and come back differently. That doesn’t make you weak— it makes you real.

Core Forms of Ableism 🌸 -Sarah Wingfield  Independent Disability Advocate  1. Individual Ableism Direct attitudes, beliefs, or actions from a person. Name-calling, mockery, slurs Assuming disabled people are “less capable” Speaking over or infantilising someone Ignoring access needs or boundaries 👉 This is the most visible form—but not the only one. 2. Interpersonal Ableism How ableism shows up in interactions between people. Dismissing someone’s lived experience Comparing disabilities (“others have it worse”) Gaslighting symptoms or needs Tokenism or performative support 👉 This often hides behind “opinions” or “debates” but causes real harm. 3. Institutional Ableism When systems, organisations, or policies disadvantage disabled people. Workplaces refusing reasonable adjustments Schools not supporting learning needs Healthcare dismissing symptoms Legal systems lacking accessibility 👉 This is where the Equality Act 2010 (UK) should protect—but often fails in practice. 4. St...
