#BBCQT disabled people want to work. believe me, we do. if we are able to, we want to. but no party is mandating accessibility in the workplace. the issue is not our health, not our disabilities, but the lack of physical, environmental, attitudinal adjustments DESPITE LEGAL OBLIGATION.

The reason the BBC works is that it hardly has to think about commercial interests or catering to a certain specific audience (aka affluent subscription users). The people who should know this but don’t is really concerning.

Reason the BBC works is its universality. If you replace that with a subscription, it is gone forever. Lisa Nandy: Replace BBC licence fee with mix of funding www.thetimes.com/article/4f4e...

What substacks are we following pls

Jennys my queen

Ok I admit it my mum took a paracetamol when she was pregnant with me bc she was getting a headache from my dad info dumping about trains

Whether it’s paracetamol or something else, Trump and co are perpetuating the idea autism is wrong and disability is an individual’s responsibility to avoid. It’s anti-science but it’s deeply ableist at its core. The goal is for non-disabled to be afraid and disabled people to be ashamed.

Author Daisy Buchanan writes about how she loves theatre, but can struggle as an autistic woman with noisy audiences... What do you think of her suggestion that theatres might offer 'ultra focused' as well as 'relaxed' shows - to cater for a wider range of audience needs?

“Existing as a disabled woman in the world can feel like straddling a constantly moving line: we must prove that we are “normal” while somehow not feeling shame that we are different.”  My piece in the September issue of British Vogue is now online: www.vogue.co.uk/article/vogu...

If you’re free from pain and gifted with energy, ask how you can help share some of the load. Email your MP! Use a subject banner e.g. ‘Please VOTE AGAINST the Welfare Bill’ as this close, MP offices will likely scan the inbox. Ask friends in Labour seats to do same. Your help matters. 2/2

I’m always pro-disabled people leading what affects them but the reality is, many disabled and chronically ill people are paying a huge physical price for fighting tomorrow’s welfare bill. Many are suffering more pain and exhaustion from campaigning, all whilst in a brutal heatwave. 1/2
