Why missing fingers?? Here we go again... Using disability as a costume and to highlight a character as a “baddie”. Children with limb differences rarely get to see themselves represented truthfully. But instead get shown as scary monsters? Not what we need 😑 #TheWitches

I really needed this reminder today, so passing it on for anyone else who might too. It's hard to remember, especially right now, but change is still happening. Thanks to lovely Ruth for leading the charge as always 💙 #DisabilityOptIn

Laughed out loud at the Govt’s response that they ‘have considered the needs of disabled people throughout the pandemic’ when we have been talking of the issues we’ve faced throughout, and repeatedly felt utterly abandoned. They know we were there, right?

Such a great #EmiliaWatchParty with my beloved Gramma, introducing her to this powerhouse play and the incredible intersectional and inclusive cast and creative team behind it. So thrilled to get to share the fire with this #CleverWoman 💙🔥

Not tweeting much at the mo. But, a year ago this week, I'd've been at #PowerShare alongside these incredible humans. For my 2ND EVER commission as an actor-writer. Always grateful to mogster & @Abi_Zakarian for belief in us all and commitment to representation🔥

Disability Life Stuff means I'm late sharing this, but I'm so proud to be a signatory on this hugely needed letter - and to have supported Shona's process on this project over the past year. Such an important message #AccessibilityInTheatres

Thrilled to be getting back to live theatre alongside an incredible cohort of artists - especially with a piece that has queer and trans disabled and neurodivergent joy at its heart. Huge thanks to CRIPtic Arts for the trust and opportunity🌈♿🎭

A rare tweet to say a huge, heartful thank you Call the Midwife and Rosie Jones for such empowering and nuanced representation of #CerebralPalsy. Makes me want to write a second PhD thesis because CtM clearly still cares so much about disabled people's stories! 💙

Like Richard, I was born prematurely: "sent before my time / Into this breathing world scarce half made up". I also have a scoliosis. As a disabled performer and theatre scholar, I no longer feel welcome in a venue I cherished. Solidarity Disabled Artists Alliance #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs
