Paying Tax Doesn’t Mean You Own People:

Paying Tax Doesn’t Mean You Own People: Apparently doing advocacy, articulating yourself properly and explaining the facts still isn’t enough to stop some people behaving as though they personally own anyone who receives benefits. 😅 Paying tax does not mean you’re personally “paying for” another human being, nor does it give you authority over how they live, what they say, or whether they’re entitled to support. We all contribute to society in different ways throughout our lives, and public money funds countless services that all of us may use — healthcare, education, roads, emergency services, pensions, benefits and much more. And disabled people aren’t suddenly exempt from having worked, paid tax, contributed to their communities or supported other people simply because they happen to need assistance themselves. That’s exactly why I challenge this rhetoric. Advocacy isn’t about being endlessly agreeable so everybody likes you. Sometimes it means calmly saying, “No. That assumption i...

K•Doll makes Juggalo History:

Juggalo History 🎪🪓 in the making 2026: Image credit: Google. K•Doll is believed to be the UK’s first female Juggalo rapper, carving out a rare space for British women within Juggalo and horrorcore music. I never imagined that the music I vibed with as a teenager would eventually help shape the K•Doll persona I have today, and I’m genuinely surprised to realise that my own music journey may have made a little piece of Juggalo history along the way. Back in 1998, younger me had absolutely no idea where that love of horrorcore, underground music and the Dark Carnival would lead. She didn’t know she’d grow up to create her own music, build her own identity as an artist, blend that influence with her own style and eventually carve out her own space within the UK scene. And I think younger me would be so damn proud. 🖤🤡 It’s surreal looking back and realising that something that once simply made me feel understood, entertained and connected has become part of my own creative identity all ...

When Benefits Become a Weapon Against Disabled People:

When Benefits Become a Weapon Against Disabled People: What disabled people have to put up with online is genuinely exhausting. Today someone commented that anybody receiving benefits should remember “who’s paying for them” and be grateful, and that attitude is exactly the problem. Benefits are not charity handed out personally by random strangers. They are part of a social security system designed to support people through disability, illness, unemployment and hardship, because any one of us could need that support at some point in our lives. Receiving benefits does not mean somebody else owns you, gets to speak down to you or gets to decide how grateful you should be. It also ignores how much disabled people contribute, including through work that is completely unpaid. I spend a huge amount of time advocating, supporting communities, creating resources, raising awareness and helping people navigate difficult systems. Disabled people volunteer, care for others, run support groups, cam...

17 YEARS OF SUPPORT PELVIC DYSFUNCTION — PGP / SPD:

🎉💜 17 YEARS OF SUPPORT PELVIC DYSFUNCTION — PGP / SPD! 💜🎉 Today marks 17 years of Support Pelvic Dysfunction, a community I founded to create a space where people affected by Pelvic Girdle Pain (PGP) / Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction (SPD) could find understanding, information, reassurance and support. Over the years, this community has become so much more than a page or a group. It has become a place where people can share their experiences, ask questions without judgement, support one another through difficult days and remind each other that living with pelvic dysfunction can feel isolating, but you do not have to face it alone. To every person who has joined, contributed, shared advice, raised awareness, reassured another member or simply stayed quietly connected to the community — thank you. 💜 Seventeen years is a long time, and I am incredibly grateful that this space is still here, still helping people and still giving a voice to those living with PGP/SPD. Here’s to continuing t...

Love, Laughter & Roadside Recovery

Love, Laughter & Roadside Recovery: Well… tonight definitely didn’t go quite how we planned 😂🌧️ But somehow, it still turned into one of those strange little evenings you know you’ll remember. A huge thank you to the two lovely women in the chippy who kindly let me use their toilet — such a small act of kindness, but it really meant a lot to me. 💗 So there we were, sat in the car waiting for recovery, listening to the rain, eating chips and curry and just making the best of it. Not exactly the date night we imagined, but honestly… not a bad one either. 😂🍟 We were together, we laughed, we had a bizarre little adventure, and that’s what matters most. Sometimes the unexpected moments end up being the ones that stick with you. Thank you as well to the very kind RAC man who came to help us, and thank you Peter for looking after me and getting through the chaos with me. Love you so much! ☺️❤️✨ Sarah Wingfield Actor • Author • Advocate  KawaiiDollDecora.uk #DateNight #UnexpectedA...

The Upside Down - Project Escape:

Review — The Upside Down, Project Escape Middlesbrough ⭐ 7/10 Today we visited The Upside Down escape room at Project Escape in Middlesbrough and had such a fun time! ☺️🖤 The challenge gives you 60 minutes to escape the Upside Down, working your way through a series of puzzles, clues and surprises. The room itself is really well thought out and planned, and once you're inside you can communicate with the team using a radio if you need help or guidance. Before the challenge starts, the staff explain everything very thoroughly, which I really appreciated. They were also incredibly friendly, welcoming and accommodating throughout our visit. ✨ The main downside for me was accessibility. I couldn't see a lift and there are three flights of stairs to reach the escape room, so unfortunately it wouldn't be accessible for everyone with mobility difficulties. I'd definitely recommend contacting them beforehand if you have access requirements. Overall, though, it was a really enj...
