Trialled my new #Trackwheel this weekend. Going “off road” felt incredible! On the way back, an old lady asked if she could sit on my lap…!!! What?! #Ableism #Disability #Wheelchair #DisabilityTwitter #Accessibility #Kuschall

Disabled people have had more than enough of ramps and accessible bathrooms and fitting rooms being used as a garbage or storage area.

Maps twist our perception of the world Here are 20 to rethink it: 1. Countries closer to the equator (~poorer) seem smaller than they are (map by Neil Kaye)

If you’re promoting an event / business / basically any orgs using images who don’t use #AltText even when ppl have pointed it out then I hope you have good legal insurance because it’s DISCRIMINATION as you’re excluding ppl who rely on screen readers. I’ll help them sue you 💅🏻

Just leaving this here for Department for Transport Mark Harper Huw Merriman Transport Committee "Spontaneous travel is fundamental to the rights of disabled people in realising their right to independent living" That’s TUAG - Turn up & go! We do NOT need to book assistance.

Terrible job with wheelchair assistance AGAIN on landing at Manchester Airport . Tried to send me to collect my wheelchair at baggage claim despite me telling them I could see it was at the aircraft (AirTag did its job). They sent 1 person to assist with 6 passengers. /1

The tuiuk cabin crew were the ones who eventually went to look for my wheelchair while Manchester Airport staff stood around complaining & making jokes about not speeding in my wheelchair! Hilarious guys. /2

After an 8 hour (and delayed) flight, you just want to get off the plane with everyone else, without the extra hassle and stress the airports and airlines create literally every single time they have to deal with a wheelchair. Why is it so difficult? /3 #DisabilityRights

Disabled people shouldn’t have to track their own mobility aids because they expect the airlines & airports not to care. /4 Do Better Manchester Airport #Rightsonflights #DisabilityPrideMonth #DisabilityTwitter UK Civil Aviation Authority

Looking at an upside-down map can make you see things you've been trained all your life not to to notice. Have a little stare at this. What stands out for you? Is anything closer or bigger or wonkier than it normally looks to you on a "normal" map?
