The author described the introduction of a permanent Cost of Disability payment as a significant first and a breakthrough in supporting people who needed it most. They called it a solid starting point and said they would work to build on it in the years ahead.
The author said a government-commissioned report estimated the cost of disability at €10,000–€15,000 a year. They called the temporary €500 cost-of-disability payment “a sick joke” and said it would not reverse the €1,400 in cuts disabled people had faced the previous year. https://t.co/uvXSMmYDPg #DisabilityRights #SocialJustice #Equality #IE
The author said a government-commissioned report estimated the cost of disability at well over €10,000 a year, and called a €500 “cost of disability payment” a “sick joke”. They added that it would not make up for the €1,400 in cuts disabled people faced last year.
The author said the Budget was intended to support families and workers facing rising costs, with measures to increase workers’ take-home pay, help families and carers with childcare and disability costs, and ease fuel and energy bills for those most in need.

🚨 Et si la littératie en santé n'était plus d'abord l'affaire des individus ? 📒 Cadre national de littératie en santé (Australie) ✍️ Department of Health, Disability and Ageing — Gouvernement australien, 2026 Face à l'IA générative, aux réseaux sociaux et à la désinformation, l'Australie renverse la logique habituelle : la charge ne pèse plus sur la personne « mal informée », mais sur les organisations et les systèmes, chargés de rendre l'information accessible, sûre et compréhensible. Le cadre pose une architecture nette — une vision, 7 principes, 4 axes — et nomme des méthodes directement transposables pour devenir une organisation « pro-littératie ». De quoi passer au crible ses propres supports, ateliers et accompagnements. Un chiffre, en particulier, mérite qu'on s'y arrête avant d'accorder sa confiance à un contenu en ligne. 👉 Mon analyse et le lien vers la source : https://www.pratiquesensante.com/blog/pratiques-15/cadre-national-de-litteratie-en-sante-australie-6170 🎙️ À écouter également : la capsule audio/vidéo de Pratiques en Santé. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eo87FSNzK28 #PratiquesEnSante #LittératieSanté #PromotionSanté #IAenSanté #ÉquitéEnSanté #LangageClair
Compassion as a Weapon Western civilization is increasingly trapped in a culture of entitlement, where victimhood can become a route to status, privilege, and power. Some elite universities report unusually high disability registrations—e.g., 20%+ at Brown and Harvard and around 40% at Stanford—far above community colleges. Whatever the causes, it raises a troubling question: when systems meant to protect the truly vulnerable become incentives, what happens to everyone else? Rob Henderson describes how accommodations can turn into “status games.” Extra time, special housing, and exemptions can make diagnosis feel like the logical choice, and the lesson travels outward: tomorrow’s leaders in journalism, HR, law, academia, and politics may learn that displaying weakness is rewarded. Research links habitual victimhood displays with traits associated with the Dark Triad (narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy). That doesn’t mean genuine victims are manipulative—it means rewarding victimhood gives manipulators an incentive to enter. In the “virtue game,” grievance becomes currency. Pity can also function as covert power: the weak person gains leverage, while the giver gains moral superiority. When compassion is treated like a currency, it can become a mutually reinforcing racket. The danger isn’t helping the weak. It’s teaching that appearing weak is the surest way to gain power.
The Victimhood Economy: Why Young People Prefer Socialism Western civilization is increasingly shaped by entitlement and a culture that rewards displays of victimhood. At elite universities, disability claims have risen: 18% of male and 22% of female undergraduates report a disability, and 54% of non-binary students, with higher rates at some wealthy schools than at community colleges. The issue isn’t genuine disability; it’s what happens when accommodations become status and advantage. Extra time, separate housing, and exemptions can turn diagnosis into leverage. When weakness is rewarded, some will learn to perform it. This matters because today’s students become tomorrow’s institutional elites. If grievance produces rewards, the lesson may spread into journalism, government, HR, academia, and business, letting beneficiaries inherit the power to expand the system. Research on victimhood signaling raises uncomfortable questions: people who habitually emphasize victim status, on average, show higher narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy—not to say genuinely suffering people are manipulative, but that systems rewarding victimhood create incentives for manipulators to exploit the category. Rob Henderson describes this as a status game: in elite institutions, grievance can become the currency of virtue signaling. For some, the rational strategy is to manufacture grievance and convert it into status. Nietzsche similarly argued that displays of helplessness can become covert power, while pity can create moral superiority for the caregiver. The danger isn’t compassion; it’s a culture that turns suffering into currency and teaches ambitious people that the easiest route to power is to claim they are powerless.

Il outille concrètement : cinq chantiers séquencés, des postures d’accompagnement graduées, des fiches de fonction, des exemples de coopérations territoriales et de systèmes d’information partagés. Il sert à objectiver un projet de conversion, à argumenter auprès d’une tutelle et à repérer les points de blocage réglementaires. À lire en gardant en tête qu’il date de 2020 : le cadre national a depuis nettement évolué. 🇬🇧: Transformation of the offer: Disability / Reinventing the medico-social offer - https://www.pratiquesensante.com/en/blog/practices-15/transformation-de-l-offre-handicap-reinventer-l-offre-medico-sociale-6151 #️⃣ #TransformationOffre #PlateformeDeServices #Autodétermination #InclusionHandicap #MédicoSocial #CoordinationDeParcours #SerafinPH #pratiquesensante

Il Consiglio dei ministri italiano ha approvato un decreto legislativo per recepire la direttiva europea sulla Disability Card, rendendo l'Italia il primo Stato dell'UE a farlo, e introducendo misure che migliorano l'accesso alle persone con disabilità a servizi e agevolazioni sia a livello nazionale che europeo, attraverso documenti gratuiti e digitali. #Disabilità #CartaDisabilità #Accessibilità
The concept of personality disorders is deeply ableist and violent, both on a philosophical level but also on the practical one, harming, even killing people and depriving them of appropriate curative treatment.
