Some nice reviews for Queer Disability Through History! No-one even forced these people to write this, it might mean it's not bad!

Assuming no more delays release should be at the end of this month, so there's still time to preorder! Never realised how much of the publishing industry balances on the sharp end of warehouses so if you'll excuse me I'm going to set up a little altar and pray for the warehouse

But it's still a niche area that a lot of people think no-one will be interested in, so please pre-order it and buy it, and let me know if you can think of anyone who might be interested in reviewing it, or convincing other people to buy it, pass on the info!

Thank you so much to everyone for sharing this and for your kind words! I was surprised to find when I opened twitter this morning to find that this whole website wasn't extremely quiet, just that it never told me about any notifications

Disabled fam, when was the first time you were accused of faking your disability? Second, when did you connect the dots and realize able-bodied white girls like this were partly to blame?

Okay fine I'm on the other blue place (same username) and I don't know how to get all the people I don't hate over there. Surely I don't have to find everyone manually? I'm so tired and have a tummy ache

🗣️“It wasn’t until several operators were under the threat of legal action from disabled campaigners that documents were made available.” The Rail Minister claims “considerable steps” were taken to make consultations accessible. In reality - disabled people had to fight.
