If you want to know why I, a disabled person, would opt to travel round Europe only via train instead of flying I really recommend you watching 'Sophie Morgan's Fight To Fly.' #fighttofly Channel 4 #accessibletravel

On the Eurostar people were sat in our seats, my partner asked staff to ask the people to move to their own seats. She looked me up and down then turned to my partner in disbelief 'but they're in a wheelchair.' As if perhaps my partner had not realised... #disabled #accessible

Just wanted to share quickly how lovely yesterday felt in Southport; a total contrast to the night before. 🧵 The mosque and people’s garden walls were rebuilt by builders and bricklayers volunteering their time and labour:

When I was learning to wheelie over curbs when I got my wheelchair people would look panicked as they saw me trying and my partner stood watching. They'd run over 'DO YOU NEED HELP!' It would always make us laugh, do they think my partner watches me struggle? #wheelchair

I am currently reading Scapegoat by Katharine Quarmby, it's absolutely wild how historical views of disabled people are still so embedded in our society today. From seeing disabled people as something to sacrifice to the language still used around disability.

My disability is not something I have to overcome, it's part of me, it means I can do some things and I can't do others and that is ok. #disabled #disability #access #wheelchairuser

Friendly reminder to the British media that the next week is not the only time to hire disabled journalists. Disabled people are for life, not just for the Paralympics.

Calling all white disabled people: it's not ok to compare the progession of our rights to Black and POC rights. Often when I see these comments made it's alluding to the idea that POC are now equal and racism results in outrage and ableism doesn't. It's not ok.

🚨BREAKING NEWS🚨 Charity for Disabled children funnelling over 40% of its funds to right-wing think-tanks. Utterly shocking - an example of what happens when disability organisations aren't run by us, for us, with lived-experience at the forefront. goodlawproject.org/disabled-child…

Me, an autistic person, 1-hour post-surgery: Hi nurse, I'm in so much pain. Nurse: Ok *leaves* Me: Has to get out of bed to pee and ends up sobbing from said pain. Nurse: *rushes in* OMG you should have told us you were in pain! *immediately gives me meds* #Autism #access

It’s hard to be kind when every major institution is built on ableism and white supremacy plus cultural bias that reinforces the message that being disabled is a fate worse than death

Recently TfL discriminated against me by not allowing me on the bus as a wheelchair user. Looking for advice on how to take legal action against them. #disabledbytherailway #disabled #disabilityjustice #legaladvice
