PGP / SPD My story:

Those angry about my "monetisation" genuinely make me laugh. I've been accused of taking over groups for profit, exploiting communities, using advocacy for money, and all sorts of wild conspiracy theories. Meanwhile, here's the reality. My Facebook earnings for June currently stand at $0.73. That's right. Seventy-three cents. So while I'm running community groups, disability advocacy projects, a website, a community magazine, helping people with support and signposting, and often working at cost or entirely for free, apparently I'm secretly building a financial empire worth less than the price of a packet of crisps. Fact-checking matters. If you're going to accuse someone of profiting from community work, at least make sure the evidence supports the claim first. Stay curious. Stay informed. Stay kind. 💜 Sarah Wingfield  KawaiiDollDecora.uk Alt Text: Screenshot of a Facebook Professional Dashboard on the Monetisation tab. The screen shows "Approxi...

Anti-Social Media So many of my online friends are abandoning Facebook because of the hostility, abuse, and sheer toxicity that has become normalised. As someone living with dynamic disabilities, I completely understand why they feel they need to do it. I've been targeted myself. But it's heartbreaking when you've known people for years—people who were there when you were isolated, housebound, or bedbound—and they're effectively being bullied out of the spaces where you stayed connected. Many disabled people don't have large social circles in real life. Illness, disability, caring responsibilities, trauma, and accessibility barriers can make social media a lifeline rather than a luxury. That's why it's so disheartening to watch amazing people leave because they are exhausted by constant hostility. I've reported threats of violence, hate campaigns, targeted harassment, and posts designed to incite hatred. Too often, nothing happens. No action is taken. No...

Hey everyone!! I hope life’s treating you kindly 💖 I’ve just hit 6.7k followers, so I thought it was the perfect moment to re-introduce myself. I’m Sarah Wingfield — a creator, advocate, writer, community organiser, and all-round creative dork. I work across disability advocacy, mental health, safeguarding, community projects, media, film, and creative storytelling, using my voice and platforms to challenge harm, amplify unheard voices, and push for real, meaningful change. I’m outspoken, I question what needs questioning, and I don’t shy away from difficult conversations. I know that means I’m not for everyone — and that’s okay. I’m here for people who value integrity, empathy, accountability, and the power of genuine community support. Thank you to every single one of you who chooses to be here. I hope to keep growing this space with more brilliant humans so we can continue supporting one another and turning compassion into action. Your favourite dork 🖤 Sarah Wingfield SarahWingfie...

Ok, so I got my account back yesterday but now they've disabled my ability to comment - on anything.  Can't offer Advocacy support. Can't wish people happy birthday. Can't share to stories still. Can't even access my page status section. I'm still here so if you need my support or help, send a DM. 🫶🏻 Your girl still got chu!  Sarah Wingfield ❤️ #disabilityinclusion #strongertogether #disability #disabilityawareness #disabilitysupport #DisabilityRightsAreHumanRights  Alt text: A cropped screenshot of a Facebook comment interface. At the top, a verified profile named “Sarah Wingfield” has typed the comment: “Sending love and healing vibes girl” followed by two red heart emojis. Overlaid beneath it is a Facebook notification saying, “You have been temporarily blocked from performing this action.” At the bottom of the screen, an error message reads, “Something went wrong. Please try again,” with a blue “Retry” button below.

Watching Kindness Disappear: People have been acting a bit wild lately. There’s a noticeable increase in hostile group behaviour, and while it often gets personalised, the truth is that most of the time it isn’t about the individual being targeted at all. We’re living in a time where people are tired, overwhelmed, and stretched thin. Life is hard. Systems are failing. Support is inconsistent. Many people are operating in survival mode. And when that happens, patience and empathy are often the first things to disappear. Sometimes it’s something as small as forgetting to say “please.” Sometimes it’s a message written bluntly because someone is exhausted, neurodivergent, anxious, or simply having a bad day. Instead of curiosity or compassion, what follows is a pile-on. A jump. A snap judgment. A sudden assumption of intent that was never there to begin with. What I see, again and again, is people waiting for a mistake. Waiting for a slip, a poorly worded sentence, a moment of vulnerabilit...

If you’re an advocate who doesn’t want content reshared and tagged, please let me know — or block me. We won’t be able to collaborate due to platform sharing limits, and I respect clarity over conflict. I can also stop my own posts from being shared if that’s your preference, but that part is often overlooked. Disability isn’t a business. It’s our life. #Apologies #MoneyOverMessage #Advocacy #Awareness #Ableism I want to start by apologising for sharing educational disability awareness content from another page, clearly tagging the creator and ensuring people knew the work was theirs. My intention was visibility, education, and directing people to their page — not control, profit, or misrepresentation. That said, a note to fellow advocates: please be mindful when raising awareness advocate to advocate. Sometimes, the message matters less to people than the money attached to it. Due to Facebook’s sharing limits, I’m not always able to share posts in the usual way. When that happens, sha...

As an advocate, watching what’s happening online right now — the lashing out, the ableism, the infighting — I genuinely recommend people take huge breaks from social media this winter. Misunderstanding someone and choosing to insult them isn’t helping anyone. Being Disabled and expecting other differently-disabled people to suffer is never the answer. Trying to dictate who “deserves” support or manipulating conversations around benefits is abusive, full stop. If you’re feeling overwhelmed or acting out of spite, please step back. Others don’t need your negativity at a time when everything is already amplified and difficult. And yes — that goes for the “nasty sorts” too. Take a break before you pour your BS onto people who are already struggling. Suicidal ideation is high this time of year. People deserve support and compassion — not lectures, judgement, or power-tripping. Abuse and hate have never solved anything, so ask yourself why you think you’re being “superior” while behaving in ...

Putting Yourself Out There Isn’t Easy Anymore: These days, putting yourself out there—whether as an advocate, an influencer, or simply someone trying to bring people together—is far from easy. Access to people seems like an open target, and the moment you step forward with good intentions, you expose yourself to criticism, ridicule, or worse. I’ve seen too many advocates and influencers lost to suicide, depression, and bullying. My condolences go out to their families and friends, because I know firsthand how isolating and painful that journey can be. As an autistic individual living with several disabilities, I understand how simply being different—and daring to want to help others—can make you a target. Thankfully, as a survivor of abuse, I’ve developed the stomach to withstand a lot. But that doesn’t mean I’m immune. The last few experiences of mistreatment I’ve endured have still taken a toll. And the harder I try to help my community, the more I see clique-led hate campaigns worki...

I've done nothing wrong and I keep losing my Facebook profiles and I'm being unfairly sabotaged by Facebook. I'm now suspended from recommendations for sharing a picture of my face.  It's really crazy how unfairly Facebook is treating some of us. I am a beta tester for Facebook and this is still happening to me when all I try is to help! I can't even verify with meta verification because I get this warning ⚠️ notice or error notice (see last image). Sarah x #Facebook #Meta #Metapaysupport #MetaforDevelopers #Kawaii Doll Decora
