People like me (Disability)

Written by S.W.


Pain you can't see

Yet you dismiss

Overriding my authority

When it's not even your place

Accessibility is important

You can't deny it out of existence

Yet you get aggressive, and I get distant.

I'm not weather resistant

These storms hurt my heart

I wish I could be more persistent

But the fatigue plays a part

Disability isn't for the weak

We are warriors and it's support that we seek

Yet we are stigmatised and belittled

By hypocrites and sheeple

You can't recondition the people

Without being hated for speaking up.

Constantly told to shut TF up.

No.

NO.

I live with this condition

Just because you don't understand

Doesn't mean others won't listen

I refuse to be walked over

I refuse to put myself at risk

I refuse to hush myself

Or water myself down for your benefit

You don't understand

Fair enough

So keep your issues with disabilities away from me

I'm not moldable clay that you can play with freely

I can't change shape or fit into the boxes of society

I can't conform like you do because of the hierarchy

Until space is made for people like me

I will be LOUD and I will be free

Because as Godkiller says

"When free will is outlawed,

Only outlaws will have free will"

And I may work around my disability,

But I'm free in comparison to you and your conformity,

Acting suitably for those around you,

Never actually opening your eyes to see,

There's a world out there, 

And it's waiting for people, 

People, like... me.

I'm done with Bishop Auckland college:

I got a very unprofessional email (linkedin message) today after promoting the college and resharing several courses I shared this: A colleague had been informed that due to numbers the policing course can't go ahead. (My formal complaint via email is at the bottom of this blog post) So I simply shared a list of their nutritional courses (also helpful) and added if anyone was interested in the level three policing course to enroll asap (based on the information provided we didn't want to lose the course) I received this: I still haven't heard anything official from the college yet and I'm not happy with being told I'm not allowed to share courses to enrol. But to be honest the accusations of misinformation irk me to my core especially without any official correction or context. So I've blocked Adam on LinkedIn and I'm done with Bishop Auckland College now. I am removing myself SO FAST from everyone and everywhere that chooses disrespect over thoughtfulness. ...

Ramside Hall and Northern Housing Consortium:

-

I am excited to say that the event at Ramside Hall went spectacularly well, I attended with my best friend Corin and we had such a lovely time. I gave a wonderful speech as to how Northern Housing Consortium has helped me spectacularly with a bursary for my start up business www.magnoliaphotography.co.uk and I happily share the quoted speech I gave below:  " As a start-up business, I initially struggled to  meet the demands of contractual work. Creating art by finger painting on my phone screen was time-consuming, imprecise, and physically challenging. This made it difficult to meet my clients' expectations for detail and speed. Living with chronic pain and disabilities only added to these difficulties. When I learned through Livin Futures that Northern Housing Consortium was offering a start-up bursary, I immediately applied for a drawing tablet, hoping it could change the way I work. Receiving the bursary has been truly transformative. With my new drawing tablet, I can now ...

Cheers 😔 see: https://pgpandspd.blogspot.com/2024/06/hacked-stickers-betrayal-and-pride.html I got off the phone to Paul Howarth yesterday, whilst I'm with my son in public in a cafe, the ADM meet didn't go ahead, but we stayed anyway and my son encouraged me to merely enquire about the article and why my image was not printed, Paul stated it was a space issue but I explained he'd spliced images before and how much would it cost to get the photo in the paper so I can feel positively represented by my home town as a Newtonian since his only reason was the article was FREE, anyway he got rude and abruptly stated he does a LOT for ADM and it's ALL FREE and that he feels I'm being REALLY UNFAIR and hung u...
