Rhube, Throwing this out into the ether on the off-chance:
I have a Green Power Electric Boot Scooter BH220. I need to remove the battery. Green Power won't tell me how as they want to charge for an engineer to come out.
It has a handle and I'm meant to be able to take it inside to charge it. I was shown how to remove it when I first got it, but I can't remember. I can lift w/handle, but it feels stuck at the front end. How do I release it? #Mobility #disabled #MobilityScooter #Repair

BenCotterill, @AutisticMumTo3 @Lazarou I’m incredibly lucky that I have two friends that work for Citizens Advice. Last time I went for a review could tell that the interviewer was rubbing his hands together to cut my benefits.
Then my friend opened her backpack and got out all the rule books for them. Never seen someone’s face drop so quickly.

There is consultation questionnaire about whether assessment for PIP should be based more on a diagnosed condition or on its functional impact; about the need for assessment and review for awarding PIP, and how to assess fluctuating conditions.

woctxphotog, Sure would be nice if people had the compassion to actually step up and help this #disabled man living in #poverty to raise the money he desperately needs, so that I can buy #food to eat, a new bed to sleep on, personal hygiene products to clean myself, cleaning supplies to clean my tiny home, but no people rather sit back and watch people like me suffer and struggle and go without the basic necessities in life. https://www.paypal.com/donate?campaign_id=5BN5MB5BVQL22

CathyTuttle, When Driving Is Not An Option. Steering Away From Car Dependency by @Nondriver Anna Zivarts talks with @activetowns
Anna Zivarts is a non-driver, creative activist, brilliant thinker. Great discussion!
WHO'S A NON-DRIVER?
At least 30% of us. People too young, too old, #disabled, or too poor to driveWHAT TO DO?
Make #transit that's frequent, reliable, and safe to #walk & #bike to.
RustyBertrand, I'm a no-filter person.
If I post something offensive, let me know. But don't be mean, I'm broken.
I'm isolated. Was isolated for the first 17 years of my life. #cult
Also the last 7 years. #disabledI don't watch American TV.
I learn by listening to my own words. And books.
The brain cannot form alone. It needs input and output.
I apologise for the inconvenience.
halcionandon, How can I get people to consider me as a #housemate? What can I do?
People will live with strangers who advertise on Gumtree but I’m too…#disabled? I not going to kill your pets or steal anything.
Is there anywhere for #disabled/#ChronicallyIll to advertise?
Something?

halcionandon, @monnie @mutualaid @chronicillness @disability @disabilityjustice @socialwork @neisvoid
Yeah they do and yes it is. They all seem to be, that’s why I don’t know how to go about this.
Was the place ok though? Those sites tend to not care who you are. It’s just a place to advertise and it’s up to you to figure out of their psychopaths. Usually too late.
I’m posting what I can offer on social media and am asking around but nothing really seems safe.
monnie, @halcionandon @mutualaid @chronicillness @disability @disabilityjustice @socialwork @neisvoid He took the first offer he got that fit his criteria since he couldn't afford much. It was smaller than he expected and is shared with a family. They're not the nicest people ever but they havennt done anything too egregious. I think he mostly got lucky on it though since he said other people he talked to out of his price range were pretty crappy

Me:
Replace "her 14-mnth-old puppy" w/ "#disabled person" & you get:Trump VP contender Kristi Noem brags about shooting disabled person 2 death: “I hated that disabled person...It had 2 b done”
Or w/ "#Black man":
Trump VP contender Kristi Noem brags about shooting Black man 2 death: “I hated that Black man...It had 2 b done”
And she might be VP!? 🤬

LinuxAndYarn,
WearsHats, @LinuxAndYarn I'm not an expert. But if she paid for it (or it came out of your joint account) I'm pretty sure your plane ticket is deductible. I don't know where the line is on your food.
LinuxAndYarn, @WearsHats I figure it's the same 50% as any other business meal, for the one we had with the other authors.
smote, please help Rae! ze is tired & in pain from surgery. ze has bills to pay and a family to feed and can't donate plasma for 4 months due to surgery. anything helps!
