“Starving the Nation: Budget Cuts, Poverty, and the Silent Crisis”

Poverty is not a natural disaster. It’s man-made. It is created by policies, political agendas, and the failure of those in power to prioritize humanity over spreadsheets.

How the PIP Assessment Criteria Exclude Hidden Disabilities

“One of the most overlooked aspects of disability assessments like PIP is the failure to fairly account for fluctuating conditions. Many individuals live with illnesses that vary from day to day — such as Multiple Sclerosis (MS), ME/CFS, fibromyalgia, or certain mental health conditions. These are not linear or predictable, and yet the current system often assumes a static level of ability.

Seropositive Rheumatoid Arthritis: The Hidden Disability That Hurts More Than Just Joints

Seropositive Rheumatoid Arthritis is a debilitating, systemic disease. Its symptoms go far beyond what the eye can see. Judging someone’s capacity based on fleeting abilities rather than lived experience is a disservice—not only to the person, but to the very purpose of disability support systems.
