Neuroscientist, writer, singer, artist, thinker, doer, laugher, unabashed lefty, feminist, ME/CFS absolute warrior, disability campaigner, 100% LGBTQI+ ally (and all-round Q), all from a small flat in noisy South London.

Graphic that shows that Tulse Hill station is 2 minutes from my house, so for the 11:02 train, I could leave at 10:55. But there are stairs and no lift so I have to go to West Norwood station that's 10 minutes from my house and I have to book a wheelchair ramp 24 hours before and turn up 10 minutes before the train to make sure the station person is there, just to pass through the station that's 2 minutes from where I live. And that is why I usually drive everywhere.

The banner on my wheelchair they tried to ban me taking into Parliament reading 'My Freedom Not My Confinement'. I won, with impassioned argument, tears and acusing the non physically disabled security card of being abelist!
