Given many disabled people can’t drive, you’d think we’d have accessibility on buses sorted – but we we’re far from it If we were to design from scratch, how could we make buses better for disabled people? I’ll go first…

Tea workshop @BirdandBlendTea #Norwich was amazing. Tea cocktails, sampling delicious blends & creating my own. Couldn’t be more accommodating, ramp was at the ready & permission to use accessible loo at the restaurant next door. Thanks for a great evening #BirdAndBlendNorwich

@gigsandtours I have sent you a DM. I still don’t understand why multiple wheelchair accessible tickets can’t be purchased together.

Gutted I’ve missed out on @foofighters tickets because I want to sit with my wheelchair using friends but am also a wheelchair user myself. Shocking service from @gigsandtours only allowing the purchase of 1 accessible ticket per order.

@gigsandtours @xMarsMinxx So a carer counts as a friend? I cant sit alongside my wheelchair using friends because I’m a wheelchair user myself?! Surely that’s discrimination.

@xMarsMinxx Hey Kirsty, sorry to hear this. Our site allows for 2 x tickets in the wheelchair area to ensure maximum opportunity for access purchase within the space. If you have any q's at all please just drop us a DM. Thanks ^P

This. Only Capaldi himself can dictate what’s worth it. If he’s happy on stage then let’s share in that joy with him. He owes it to nobody to be perfect. He owes himself some happiness, however that looks. His body has changed significantly (disability wise). He needs support.
Frances Ryan@DrFrancesRyan

The Glastonbury crowd filling in for Lewis Capaldi when he needed help was such a beautiful moment. Anyone saying “it was heartbreaking” or “he shouldn’t have gone on” is seriously missing the point. Disability is not a bad thing to be hidden. It exists alongside success and joy.

Tonight, the BBC premiered #BestInterests which I feel quite personally connected to. From what I’ve seen it sensitively portrays the discussion around what quality of life means, through the lens of an undiagnosed form of Muscular Dystrophy.

Time for something new - Tuesday Truths! We often talk about disabled people doing things “in spite of” their impairment or diagnosis.

This is for those we've lost through lack of access to respiratory care, and those who are here today to vent and represent because of the progress which is happening. Share with everyone you know who uses any type of ventilation, and with everyone who needs to know more
Home Mechanical Ventilation in Partnership@HMViPGroup

It's here! The first-ever World HMV Day! We want to raise awareness of the benefits of home mechanical ventilation (HMV) and encourage more centres to provide access to therapy. Find out more and lend support by visiting hmvip.co.uk/world-hmv-day-… #addinglifetoyears #WorldHMVDay

Tell me the healthcare system is ableist without telling me the healthcare system is ableist? 👇🏻 I nearly broke my back AGAIN trying to get into this thing for a colposcopy today A nurse told me I was “brave” tho, so that makes it all the more tolerable 🤬 #DisabilityTwitter
