Anyone out there who’s using Facebook using a name that doesn’t look like a name needs to be aware that their account will be suspended as soon as they get found out. Just the other day this happened to a leading ME campaigner who was using a slightly disguised version of his email address as […]

Wheelchair Dancer: Dreaming on Wheels Last night, I had my “first” dream about me as a disabled person. It was scarily vivid. Law and Order style, I shouted to, well, whomever — faceless dream person; the police?? — that I would take care of this “dirtbag.” The next sensation I remember was the power and […]

Organica inspired me to post this picture of my own home-made pizza, which I eat on average twice a week. It might not meet everyone’s idea of home-made since I didn’t make the dough or the tomato topping, much less the mozzarella, myself, but it was me who put it together. This time, it was […]
