Sunak framing getting people off disability benefits as a “moral mission” is a Victorian dog whistle. It frames being able to work as a virtue and being too sick to as a moral failing. It suggests the solution is, not structural change, but disabled people trying harder.

Would Access to Work fund a recumbent trike? What if my contract says that I'm home based? @Wheels4Well

#A11y question: We have a VI student joining in Sept and I found their tutor worrying about how to audio describe our video materials. Any ideas on tools to rocket boost that process? #accessibility @donasarkar @jennylayfluffy

Has anyone with Cerebral Palsy, or similar, had it where your hip feels like it has ever so slightly moved out of place? Not a full dislocation. Just pain and discomfort with every step. Also got back pain. Any tips to fix are welcome.

Apparently @sainsburys is selling two and a half peppers per bag. It's sealed. This is super weird. Bought yesterday.

Looking forward to speaking at the #AccessiblEU conference this evening. Talking about barriers to political participation and independent living on behalf of @ENIL_EU. @JeunesEuropeens

Looking for disabled people to share their experiences about the lack of awareness and access barriers around safe evacuation for a white paper. It can be brief and anonymised if you don’t wish to be identified. #DisabilityTwitter

Does anyone know of any Deaf Organisations / Charities campaigning on accessible transport, or who have policy positions on this? Recommendations very much appreciated!

Had a wonderful birthday weekend. Cycling, good meal, a walk, very short pub visit and a movie yesterday. Followed by cooking curries, friends and boardgames today. Need to bring more of this into my every day.

A short 😔 thread: This evening I watched the beautiful @EllieSimmonds1 waltz on @bbcstrictly, it was stunning. I felt proud to see a disabled woman dancing on prime time TV, not a show about disability, but looking glamorous & dancing so well. Then I come on here & see...

Had a lovely time last week when I hired a hand trike from @Wheels4Well and cycled in Suffolk. It's so important to create inclusive cycling opportunities and cycling is the only exercise I regularly do because it makes me feel so good about myself!

Managed to watch 88 films this year so far. 87 in 2020, 75 in 2019, 61 in 2018. Suppose I've got time for one more tomorrow, but I might wait until January.
