Hey @pax I'm at an accessibility panel. Where are the #captions? A request for an audience member to #asltranslate is underwhelming to say the least.

Hi there @MIFFofficial . Every year I tweet about the lack of #captions and every year nothing changes. 15% of Aussies have some form of #hearingloss. That's 15% of your market. Do better.

read a load of people losing it over the phrase ‘identify as disabled’ & i have been viscerally reminded that abled people think that disabled people get told by a doctor that we’re disabled

Finally got the answer to the one question I really wanted to ask @JohnPeterJerrim: how on earth he manages to produce quite so many academic papers. Turns out he hand draws mindmaps etc & writes it out on paper before typing up. - there you have it folks, that’s the answer.

@nap___queen Bro and I were bottle fed and are happy and healthy Gen X adults. We wouldn't be quite as well adjusted if our mum had put herself and us through the stress of breast feeding which worked for exactly none of us.

And this week I achieved a life goal of getting a Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy quote into @TheEconomist’s Letters to the Editor 🔥🔥

1/9 As a wheelchair user ableism and being underestimated shows up in all areas of my life but never do I feel it more than within parenting settings.

I'm going to keep saying it until the journalists make the connection. The people currently dying 'with underlying conditions' are the vulnerable people we were supposed to be protecting from COVID.

URGENT: We have just days to ensure the parliamentary inquiries currently considering the #ReligiousDiscriminationBill hear our voices. The Bill will wind back hard-fought discrimination protections for women, LGBTIQ+ people, people with disability, and even people of faith.

@sarkpowell This has been a lightbulb moment for me💡(lightbulb emoji). The number of times I've ended up on the wrong train (and usually on days when I'm completely wrecked). Glad you got the right one in the end!

The advantage of travelling by van is that when said van breaks-down halfway up a remote mountain pass, you can always rustle up an impromptu dinner of rainbow trout in a gin, turmeric and cumin sauce with a bit of crispy-chilli kale and couscous.

"I don't know anyone who's been through all these fertility treatments without coming out with the child." Thank you to these amazing people for sharing their experience and helping me see our story mirrored rather than the 'usual' happy ending. 🙏❤️ abc.net.au/everyday/why-s…
