Doris Lessing said ‘Whatever you need to do, do it now. The conditions are always impossible.’ No need to tell disabled artists that, you just help them do it.

Some lessons were learnt in the pandemic on how to make this world better for all, or at least more accessible, but sadly much of the world has retreated back into its oppressive groove.

I’ve become less polite to the people in the way. I have become a proponent of ‘Doom and Bloom’, something I invented to acknowledge the many awful things in this world but reminding me not to retreat or wither, but to bloom to embarrass the darkness and to bring hope and strength into flower.

I want to show that you can take up space at any table and take up that space as if you have wings.

Oh, and I still love Homer Simpson.
