Meanwhile, other Disabled people are supporting each other, whatever our needs, to build a different path. On the left of the mural people are emerging into a world based on care for people and planet, with flourishing green trees and a blue lake authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S... 3/3

New article by @disabmurals.bsky.social @sarahbell85.bsky.social based on work with disabled people in Bristol Instead of: -removing disabled parking bays -blaming individuals for not recycling -or 'inclusive' capitalism Systemic change urgently needed to build disability AND climate justice 1/3

No worries! It was wonderful to see the mural in real life! Thanks for inviting me to participate

Along with other Glaswegians, I worked with the @sensing-climate.bsky.social team (Working representing #climatechange and #disability ) to contribute ideas to #mural #art in #Glasgow #Scotland. I got to help paint it too! 🎨🖌️ Check it out from Midday on 6th March, 2026 in the G.E.S.H, Easterhouse

We've had a wonderful day celebrating the launch of TWO Sensing Climate murals in Glasgow, at Greater Easterhouse Supporting Hands, with a fab mural team sharing key messages for what to prioritise in climate responses - mostly we need to look out for each other! sensing-climate.com/news/glasgow...

Welll today was the day of showing members of GDA and many other who took part in the mural of climate change and disabled people of not one, but TWO, murals in Glasgow! The key message is that we need to look out for each other, both as the world is now and as the climate changes.

The mural team have been busy this week! A day of final touches today & then tomorrow we'll be celebrating the opening of not one, but TWO, murals in Glasgow! The key message is that we need to look out for each other, both as the world is now and as the climate changes. More info to follow soon!

This is an important and heartfelt letter. Unfortunately there has been a real blindspot among some people on the British and European left. We should oppose imperialism and fascism, wherever they occur. heckle.scot/2025/11/an-o...

It was super to chat with Dan White of @disrightsuk.bsky.social for our 'Disability & Climate: In Conversation With' session yesterday! Recording, transcript & links now up online! sensing-climate.com/events/dan-w...

You were incredible, Alice Wong, and it was a blessing to have collaborated with you on projects, to have read your words and to have heard your voice, as full of life and passion and joy and rage as it was. You made a difference—so much of a difference. Rest always in peace, and always in power.

Gutting to wake up to the news of Alice Wong's death this morning. She was always kind to me, and she stuck up for me and fought my corner more than once, when I was a near stranger. She's a marvelous writer, editor, advocate and thinker. Farewell, Alice. Thanks for your urgent, caring work.

For #ClimateComms folk, the Crip Up Climate Conversations guidance by @emmageen.bsky.social and @sarahbell85.bsky.social is an excellent resource for understanding disabled people in the context of the climate crisis and supporting respectful conversations. sensing-climate.com/news/crip-up...

We urgently need honesty on the climate crisis. Military emissions are excluded from national emissions figures. Yes, we simply pretend they don't exist. That means there's little pressure to reduce them. This has to change. www.thewaronclimate.org

DisCrit examines how racism & ableism intersect to shape systems of power that marginalize disabled people of color. It challenges “normalcy” & calls for collective action toward justice.

Making the case for wealth taxes on @SkyNewsPolitics just now. Rumours that Chancellor might seek yet more spending cuts are horrifying - public services are already on their knees & top 50 richest families in UK now hold more wealth than the poorest half of the population - over 34 million people.

Studies show vaping raises the number of ACE2 receptors: the doorway COVID-19 uses to attack. That means higher risk and slower recovery.

Lovely to chat all things public engagement and impact this afternoon ☺️ Looking forward to a fab set of talks tomorrow 🙌 @healthgeographyrgs.bsky.social

5 years after Brexit, it’s shamefully clear that UK is being left behind on environment policy. With few exceptions, Govt has *deliberately* chosen not to keep up with standards of EU neighbours. Worse, in a number of areas they’re planning to actively go backwards @ieep.eu @europeanmovement.co.uk

For as long as society disables us, being Disabled is political and so #DisabilityPrideMonth must remain so too. Whilst the UK remains a hostile place for Disabled people, one thing is for certain: our movement is growing. Our Disability Pride Month piece: www.disabilityrightsuk.org/news/disabil...

"The voices of people with disabilities are seldom heard in climate change and resilience discussions. There is sometimes some hand-waving in the direction of ‘vulnerable groups,’ but how often are they actually at the table? Not nearly often enough."
