How to Riot From a Wheelchair—in remembrance of those who've gone before & that acts of rebellion are not about the body's agency alone. Even while we – #disabledcommunity – become targets of successive governments #PoemsAbout #Riots @alanparrywriter.co.uk @thebrokenspine.co.uk

Here is angelic Penny. Yes I'm troublesome Gabriel, about 10 at my "special school", with my mates ready for the Nativity play. Could stand up for a bit then. I like that I look a bit cheeky. What do you think, friends? Season's greetings all.

In an old black and white photograph, Penny age 10, wearing old fashioned plain glasses, is standing up wearing a white dress, a white scarf on top of her head, white socks and dark shoes. Attached to her back are a pair of cardboard wings with spray on white markings to suggest feathers. She has a halo of silver tinsel and a soft yet cheeky smile. Behind her is a child's walking frame to the right and slightly off view, another child sitting down to the left.

No more half-baked, barely researched two minute soundbytes like I saw and heard after #handsoff. 🙄

Rebellion against #tyranny is literally in my blood; my people founded #Boston!

(Huzzah!) 🇺🇸

As a #disabledactivist I look for manageable ways to #protest

Did you know that #gardening is a form of #rebellion?

My #ancestors did.

And now you know, too. 🫶🏼

Get to it, then. 🐓🧑‍🌾🫜🌳

What my #workday looks like.

I've already #emailed my #electedofficials (federal level). I reminded them that #Congress holds the power of the purse.

I expect them to DO THEIR JOBS.

It's now time to #postcardblitz the #press outlets.

Still sending #tiny #donations (less than $20) to causes that matter to me.

I choose a new cause every month.

Today's assignment:

I send #postcards for a reason

They can be read by every person who touches them along the way

Just my small way of letting others know that they are not alone in their righteous fury

And maybe, they too will be inspired to act

Trigger Warning: Flashing video

When I think of campaigning I need to do, the anxietv kicks in.

When the anxiety kicks in, my insomnia ramps up.

When my insomnia ramps up, my mental health takes a kicking.

My life is existing within Catch-22.

My latest #disabledactivist move:

I just ordered a TON of these postcards. Every week, I'm gonna send one to the #WH

I'm going to list just ONE thing that #DJT has done that week to try and destroy our country

Then I'm gonna end it by saying

(every. single. time.)

WE WILL IMPEACH YOU!
