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.

@goldie_oz And a lawnmower, I believe?

This morning’s office at Newnham College, doesn’t have the river but does have Lavazza

@goldie_oz @LoicMnzs

@LoicMnzs @anna_spiteri 😕 😦 🤢 🤮

Just a regular Thursday night in #Cambridge cc @LoicMnzs

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

@AdeleRickerby @Miranda_J_Doyle @padmav @isobel_maddison @LucyCavColl So so good to hear. Can't wait to read it ❤️

@LoicMnzs @JohnPeterJerrim @strangemachina you might recognise this technique?

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.

Let us all repeat, yet again: demand-side policies act only to drive up prices (and in this case funded by peoples’ retirement) #auspol

@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.

@goldie_oz @TheEconomist 👏👏👏 you should send that into reader's digest...

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!

Train/deaf anxiety. Hates it when they announce a change of platform but not said which one. Least managed to catch train

@LoicMnzs Recipe please? 🙏

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.

What do you say @MIFFofficial? Will 2022 be the year the festival is #accessible for all? 2/2

"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…
