Apparently Novak Djokovic has joined the disability community now and people are getting all judgy but I’m prepared to take you on face value so here’s a welcome note to our world @DjokerNole #tennisaustralia (Thread). You may notice a swirl of strangers coming in and out of your house every day. Sometimes the people that turn up might not be the people expected. How exciting! Some will wear masks or be vaxxed and others might try & choose not to. But hey I know you’re down with choice

A true story from my life which shows why disabled people are terrified at the prospect of winding up in hospital due to #COVID19. And it’s not because we are ‘sicker’ than you (thread) Last year I started experiencing chest pains on the right side of my chest. I put off doing anything for weeks. In denial. Worried about how the hell I would get by in an inaccessible hospital environment. Also I’m a bloke so hey.

Just for a bit of balance when I was trying to get out of special ‘schooling’ in the 1980s none of the local public schools in Campbelltown NSW would take me. Only a local Marist school was accessible & made the effort #schools #education The principal of one public school looked at me, snorted and said ‘well what are we going to do with this little problem hey?’
