It also occurs to me there may be fire safety provisions which prevent some #disabled people being able to be in the basement unless there is an exit at basement level?

These must-see things - are they #accessible to #disabled people ?
Will @theskinnymag provide information on the #accessibility of events/venues/shows to #disabled people ?

Do you provide central, easily accessed information on the web site about how #accessible screenings/venues are for #disabled people ?

Good question. I'm sure I read some recent research that the gap between the number of #disabled people owning a smart phone and the number of non-disabled people is quite significant. Built-in discrimination when #access is only via phone apps.
Is the venue #accessible to #disabled people ?

Not sure you understand #accessibility. Stairs to gain access renders the show inaccessible for many #disabled people. Does the venue at the top of the 16 stairs have a loop system for #deaf people ? Are there #accessible toilets ?

Hi there. Can I suggest you put #accessibility for #disabled people front and centre of the @edbookfest ? Rather than have to work out which bits are #accessible, could there be a dedicated section on #access and map levels of #accessibility ?
Thanks. Appreciated. It would be good to have a central point at which accessibility could be checked.

It was such a pinch me moment to be asked to shoot for @drmartens SS22 campaign… But it was an even bigger pinch me moment, to see myself and my mobility aid in a shop window. Thank you for being a driving force for inclusion @drmartens @ZebedeeMan 🤍

Those of you still wearing a mask: as COVID cases go up and no mandates are put in place, you are the visible encouragement that allows other people to feel less awkward about putting one back on. Keep it up.
