On my way to the #ScrapTheGreenPaper (on #disabilityreform) protest outside Leinster House (which houses the Irish parliament). These proposals if implemented would make life a lot more difficult for many with #disabilities and disabling illnesses. 😡
I've been chronically ill,
Santa baby, so won't you do this for me tonight?
Santa baby, if you'll decorate too, please do.
I'll wait up for you dear,
Santa baby, just to thank you for your effort tonight.
Think of all the fun I've missed,
Think of all the doctors that I haven't dissed,
Next year I could be oh, so sweet,
If you make my list complete,
Boo doo bee doo. [background]
Santa honey, I need some more rest,
And that's not a lot to request,
I've had a long battle with fear,
Santa baby, won't you do this for me this year?
Santa cutie, there's one other thing that I need, Relief.
From these pains everywhere,
Santa cutie, make them disappear tonight.
Santa baby, fill my stocking with drugs, And checks.
Make the copays go away, today,
Santa baby, and pay my doctors' bills tonight.
Come and trim my Christmas tree,
You know that I don't have the energy,
I really do believe that you,
Can make all of these dreams come true,
Boo doo bee doo. [background]
Santa baby, forgot to mention BYDLS, oh yes.
I don't want to leave out my friends,
Santa baby, help everyone on the site, tonight,
Help all of us spoonies tonight,
Help all of us spoonies tonight!

I'm considering going to this protest, "“Scrap The Green Paper” coalition calls on the Department of Social Protection to "Scrap the Green Paper" on Disability Reforms." outside Leinster House on Thur, Dec 7.

While not definite,I'm still hoping to go to this.
I haven't located anything red yet to wear.I think I’ll wear a blue ribbon to highlight I have ME
& also where my invisible disability lanyard around my neck (though I will either be in a wheelchair or mobility scooter).I might bring some more blue ribbons if I remember in case anyone wants one on the day.Do come up & say hi if you see me #ScrapTheGreenPaper @disability@disabilityjustice@spoonies@mecfs
Question to the ones that fully left Reddit
