@BBCNews @BBCAccessAll I do find it surprising how often we still come across this kind of thing, especially on the BBC. There's still a feature on Radio 1 where they call people and have to guess whether they are sitting down or standing up! 😬

Not sure how helpful this graphic @BBCNews at Six used for the story about the ADHD assessment backlog is? Any thoughts on the use of this kind of imagery (question marks, jigsaw pieces, squiggly lines) in relation to ADHD or neurodiversity generally? @BBCAccessAll #disability

Family member, sitting with me - a disabled person - and reading the TV guide just now: "There's a programme on about you tonight..." Me: "What's that?" FM: "Am I a r*tard?" They meant it as joking banter, but I fear there will be more of this around @Channel4 @josierones docu☹️

Another successful Close Combat Symposium at @CranfieldOTEC @CranfieldUni @CranfieldDefSec this week. Well done to the @SympatShriv team. More info on upcoming events: cranfield.ac.uk/events/symposi…

@sophmorgTV I'd love to go but from looking at their website it doesn't seem like they offer day tickets? Being able to drive in for the day, park as close as possible to the action with a blue badge and then go home or to a hotel room later on would make it a lot more accessible I think

Any other wheelchair users get the worst FOMO when #Glasto is on?! I never even try to get tickets as Id struggle in the mud but then, when the sun is out, I deeply regret it 😫 Have a blast everyone who’s lucky enough to have a ticket..& the privilege/freedom of choice/legs!

Proud of @CranfieldUni Disability Network organising sessions on digital accessibility for colleagues this week to mark #GlobalAccessibilityAwarenessDay #GAAD. There are simple things we can all do to make a more accessible world online and in daily life: blogs.cranfield.ac.uk/disability/mak…

@DrMengyiXu Has been great watching 斯 in this year's championship too - very exciting prospect for the future!

@james_m_hill @pistol147 Wow, best of luck! Still remember that I watched one of his epic final sessions in last Sep in Stadium MK, and he turned things around and won!

Good luck @pistol147! Looking forward to an epic final session tonight and hopefully not too many of those 45 min frames... it could be a late one! #ThePistol #WorldSnookerChampionship

@DrMengyiXu @pistol147 That sounds awesome. He couldn't quite make it this time but put up a great fight and nearly got there. A really nice guy too.

@EvelynLanka @pistol147 Yes! Are you watching?

@james_m_hill @pistol147 Are you watching it in Sheffield?

If you are writing a sign for a lift that is out of order, please don't apologise for the 'inconvenience' - for disabled people who need to use the lift, it isn't just inconvenience and this only belittles the problem. Just get the lift fixed! #DisabilityTwitter #disabled

@Identatron Yep, a bit to unpack here🙃

@james_m_hill food for thought!

Views from a French study with employees who worked with #disabled colleagues occasionally vs frequently (Denis, B. M. (2021). Social Representations of Physical Disability in a Professional Environment. Journal of Applied Social Science, 15(1), 66–79. doi.org/10.1177/193672…)

And the finale...! (Video shows view from the back of the arena with Florence dancing back and forth across the stage, with bright red lights circling all around and the audience jumping up and down in the foreground)

(Video shows view from the back of a packed arena with the crowd in darkness and Florence on stage under a spotlight and light blue stage lighting, with close-ups of her singing on large screens either side of the stage)

Epic performance from Florence and the Machine @florencemachine in Nottingham last night. This song hadn't been performed on tour for nearly 10 years and it was quite a moment...

Very impressed to see inclusion and accessibility for staff & students embedded throughout MK:U from the start, including approach to workspaces, furniture and fittings. @KarenHolford confirmed the 'pod' chairs are comfortable during a visit today🤗 @CranfieldUni @LynetteRyals

@DrMengyiXu @cranfieldmngmt @yang_miying @ZimuXu0 新年快乐，恭喜发财!

Happy Chinese New Year (Spring Festival) ✺◟😄◞✺ 🇨🇳Cranfielders @cranfieldmngmt wishing you all a very happy, healthy and hopeful new year ahead! @yang_miying @ZimuXu0

Learnt about some new gadgets talking with @quqandiseba for her PhD research into improving user experience with devices for daily living. Seba needs more participants for her study so please share and contact her if you have experience using devices for this valuable research

Sometimes non-wheelchair users think all wheelchairs are the same, which they are definitely not. Last night I did a drawing that imagined what the shoe equivalent of six of my wheelchairs might be.
