How does Griffith's merging of fact and fiction affect the telling of truths about disability?

Thing's from 2003 and still relevant, ow, my existence hurts.

Hey turbo dweebs. Is there a UK version of something like this?

Ideally either no subscription fees, no connectivity required, and definitely good privacy, idfk.
At the very least, is there a DIY or open source of something similar?

It has been a rough kind of day, I had some rent chores to tend to, which exacerbated both my pain and exhaustion, in between taking many breaks and even now I have not been able to get comfortable enough to relax at all, the wonders of doing anything often spins by #bipolar #mania into drive, which in itself is exhausting, a long time ago I realized how I used to have the energy to ride a bicycle hundreds of miles in a week while working 80 hours, and then later how I could manage working 120+ hours a week without crashing, now eventually that all caught up with me, but in the time since I have done my best to keep my body still and my mind as quiet as I could, as any physical activity seems to through me into a mania induced activation, and it has always been hard to keep my mind quiet, but between the two, along with my constant pain sleep often evades me, so doing chores becomes a fine line of balancing extra pain and at what point does my body refuse to shut down and relax, the sad thing is, there is not pre set limit what works one day may not the next and so on, it is a constant battle of will, and far to often I am stuck in a full speed go even though my body can no longer perform, and that causes more pain more exhaustion and really a great deal of aggravation, in anyevent I am having a hard time chilling out and relaxing and my mind is running so fast it is extremely hard to focus on anything at all;

Am 24. Oktober ist es soweit! ✨ Gemeinsam mit Ulla Kenntner spreche ich in der Akademie Waldschlösschen über ein Thema, das viel zu selten im Fokus steht: die Lebensrealität von queeren Menschen mit Behinderung im ländlichen Raum.⬇️

The DWP is currently screwing over disabled people once more.

Because the tories screwed everyone for 14yrs, underfunded and lost countless judicial reviews where they tried to deny people things like Personal Independence Payments (PIP), they currently have a backlog of around 450,000 claims that are due to renewal.

Except they're not even bothering to do them because they're only doing 'new' claims because they've had a backlog of about 220,000 of those too.

When your PIP comes up for renewal, you have to fill out a form... the easiest way to do that is to answer all questions with 'No change since the last assessment' because the chances are that unless there's a major change to your condition or you develop a major new one, saying things are 10% worse isn't going to help you at all... they'll demand extra proof and try to trip you up, so they can deny your claim.

Best ting to do if you get it, 'No change since the last assessment'

Because if they try to deny you now, they'll lose the appeal because it was ok before, so they've moved the goalposts to try and remove people from the benefit.

They are at least continuing to pay the PIP to those people on the backlog... so they're not losing the money.

But what it does mean is that those who have a blue badge to enable free parking, or the use of parking spaces close to where they want to be... which for some people, is the difference between being able to go out, or being stuck at home and isolated.... Those badges are issued for the same amount of time as the PIP award... which has now expired for hundreds of thousands of people.

You can't get a new badge from your local council, without a letter from the DWP saying that you've been awarded the benefit for another 3-4yrs (is the normal time). They've not even issued extension letters to disabled people, so they can get an extension and replacement badge for about the next 12 months.

The backlog is estimated at 10 months for renewal claims.

That's 10 months people will be basically unable to go out for some, as often for others. Because parking in a disabled bay without a valid blue badge, is up to a £1000 fine.

I personally know people suffering with this problem.
