On Nov 3rd, myself, Joy Dove and other activist declared the DWP HQ building in London a crime scene. I also dressed up as the devil to ‘congratulate’ the workers coming in and out for their cruel and evil work. Just simply protesting that life is not a cost to cut.

"In fact, not only does the market assessment of the value of different forms of work not correspond to popular conceptions of what they actually contribute to society, but there actually seems to be an inverse relation: with few exceptions, the principle seems to be, the more one’s work is seen as socially useful, the more it is recognized as helping others, the less one is likely to be paid for it." . - David Graeber
From the book Bullshit Jobs.

I was commissioned by @dadafest.bsky.social to make a sculpture, and I made one out of charity collecting cans to spell out the word 'RAGE'. I made a film of me making the sculpture and reciting my poem 'We Need More Disabled Rage'
