How do you usually use your free time? If this is a question you’d like to respond to via a questionnaire (or meeting), please visit the website breadrosesdisability.uk/ques… This is part of the Bread & Roses: Rest, Free Time & Disability project #Disability #FreeTime #Rest #Capitalism
2 Information cards with bold text 'How do you usually use your free time? if this is a question you’d like to respond to via a questionnaire (or meeting), visit the website below.' The second card reads: 'Bread & Roses: The Politics fo Rest and Free time in, against, and beyond disabling capitalism. Research participants needed: UK-based, over the age of 18 self-identifying as being disabled, chronically ill, learning disabled, d/Deaf, neurodivergent, experiencing mental distress, having impairments, or other similar terms'. Underneath is the website breadrosesdisability.uk/questionnaire. The text is written within two rectangular shapes (one next two the other) with a white background. Two larger rectangles are in the background for each card (yellow and peachy orange), on top of a notebook-like patterned background. Two arrows point to the text.

Pls read Webers The Protestant Ethic and free yourselves of hyperproductivity. It is impossible to do all these things, bc capitalistic govts do not want you to have free time, and they refuse to subsidize supports that would make it easier to do any of these.
`@literaturelisaOct 11
No, you cannot walk 10,000 steps daily, get 8 hours of sleep, cook every night, clean every day, take care of a family, make time for your own hobbies, and still be productive at work every day. This is not just propaganda, it is nonsense. Free yourself from it.

What kind of change needs to happen in UK society, so rest and free time can be experienced meaningfully by all - regardless of disability and employment status? If you are a UK-based disabled person, please share your ideas: breadrosesdisability.uk/ques… #Disability #Rest #FreeTime
Poster about the questionnaire, written on an off-white background, with a peachy pink grid. The text 'share your ideas by 31 Dec 2026' is placed on a dark purple banner. It reads: About the research: At a time when disabled people are doing more (paid and unpaid) activities than ever before, while access to meaningful rest and free time is increasingly denied and scrutinised, this study explores the experiences of rest and free time in the lives of disabled people in the UK. One of the publications of this project will be a Manifesto for Rest and Free Time from a disability politics perspective. Researcher: Ioana Cerasella Chis. Email: ioana.chis@glasgow.ac.uk. Website: breadrosesdisability.uk. 2026-2028 project funded through The Leverhulme Trust Early Career Fellowship & The University of Glasgow LKAS Fellowship.

We are shocked and disappointed that the vision of a National Care Service does not include disabled people of working age, who make up 1/3 of social care users and who are facing much harsher charges compared to older people. Read our full comment 👇 buff.ly/VHauA7P

Routine overwork, including excess of 40 hours a week, isn't just about being a bit tired. It causes cancer, heart disease, stroke alongside mental ill health and a whole host of other ills. The idea people should trade health security for financial security is stupidity

@myles_premium_Sep 28
We all know 40 minimum wage hours isn't enough to sustain a very good standard of life. It never has been. Which is why you're supposed to make it enough by working more or earning more. Add that horrible warehouse job to your weekends for 6-8 months. Hustle.

Hey so "normal" is a societal construct that comes out of the eugenics era. You can track the concept back to men like Adolphe Quetelet, who tries to measure "the average" physiological traita of men and women. And then its coopted by eugenicists like Francis Galton. 1/5

This is an appalling attack on the workers we all depend on every day by councillors and senior officials. Both the SNP Glasgow City Council and the Scottish government are both apparently committed to ‘fair work’ but this massive fire and rehire couldn’t seem further from it.

How can we stop the absolute torrent of lies and misinformation on benefits being peddled by MPs from the Tory Party, the Far Right parties and even from some Labour MPs and Ministers? It feels like a constant uphill battle, with their lies reinforced by lazy and uncurious media.
