@Eurostar I cannot book a wheelchair ticket on your website (error code CID: BPA-PKS3V-BU5BH). Email reply last week said to use website. I've been trying for nearly a week. Can't get through on your phone lines. Need to travel on Tuesday. What the hell am I supposed to do!??

@R3PUL5E They stop for cleaning at this time for about an hour, it’ll get moving after that for the remaining people in the queue

@onesocietyforUK @jolenebuntinguk Our ancestors made an absolute mess of imperial/colonial rule in India, even worse when we separated countries (Pakistan, India, Bangladesh) on our exit. Things are complicated, on many levels this is a result of English imperial rule. Its was hugely damaging and we owe a lot

@cbme_mark Both my partner and I are in a similar position to this and its terrifying. It's good to know that people who have carried on asking have sometimes found someone. I'm wondering when our covid number will be up :(. In CA (USA) said it's available (paid) to any1. So frustrating!!

@Tintedplay @Gildedballoon My partner and I are both disabled and would like to come and see the show tomorrow (16th). I can't seem to DM (because you're not following me?). Let me know about a ticket for one of us when you can please? Thank you! @AmyBethanEvans (bc you followed me back so quickly!)

@LilAmbi_Vert @official_faithm Your defensiveness is unhelpful & unnecessary. Lizzo is an incredible ally and representation for many. Hopefully this can also include disabled people (who make up 15% of the global population)

@official_faithm So Lizzo KNEW this + ACTIVELY chose to use ableist language? You’re gonna have to provide proof esp since in this very post you just explained why it’s offensive cuz you know ppl don’t know. Otherwise you’re saying she’s never allowed to make a mistake + that you’ve never made 1

@socialtechno @official_faithm The verb cannot be disassociated with the noun and the disability hate history. I get that the US is in a different place with disability related language (which is additional reason to pay attention here). As a global artist and marketing team I hope lessons can be learnt.

@official_faithm Saying "I am about to spazz" (verb, meaning to act in an extremeky demonstrative way) is not the same as calling somebody a spastic (noun, meaning a person with a disability.) At the very least, grasp that Lizzo says "I'm a.." She ain't hatimg on somebody.

@socialtechno @official_faithm Spasms are literally uncontrollable movements. It's ableist to compare someone's responses bc of heightened emotion (which arguably are controllable) to part of a medical symptom which causes distress and pain.

@lizzo @Yitty Please please! Remove the word "sp*z" from your song. It's a slur used to marginalise the disabled community. Please don't normalise this language! 💔😪

Ugh the normally brilliant @lizzo has apparently used a disability slur in her new song. It’s gutting to see someone who is so body positive deciding not to include disabled bodies in that. Really hope she takes the education on board, apologies, and removes the word. It’s 2022.

@blind_zebra @Shelbykinsxo @lizzo Why does she have a right to use it?? Freedom of speech doesn't negate having to take responsibility for what you say. You can't reclaim a word unless you're in the marginalised group.

Cw:reference to ableist language. @lizzo @FullStopMGMT @brandoncreed please remove the word "s*az" from Grrrls. It's a deeply hurtful slur towards disabled people. I haven't been called it since I was in school, but the thought that the song might normalise it makes me feel ill.
