Who’s talking about AI & disability? AI is hyped as a game-changer for accessibility but also raises big concerns. I’m looking for guests for The Wheelchair Activist Podcast who can discuss its impact. Got recommendations? Reply or DM me! #AI #Disability #Accessibility

Every day we hear from disabled people in our community who are being been failed by our train system. So why is our new Government planning to roll back on it's promise to make public transport accessible to us all? Thanks to ABC commuters for this: abcommuters.com/2025/02/24/d...

King's Cross station is removing train information from departure boards 3-4 minutes before trains leave, as part of a chaotic new trial. We talked to The Telegraph about why travel information is essential for everyone, but for especially for disabled people. telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/02...

🚨 Nearly 2 in 3 disabled people said they had to make cutbacks on food & other essentials to afford housing. Every disabled person should have an accessible, affordable home - home they can carry with them throughout their lives and that will support them to thrive. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

"We should all be able to travel with confidence and ease" Last week @emma-vogelmann.bsky.social from our team talked to My London about a horrifying increase in incidents where wheelchair users are refused access to London buses. www.mylondon.news/news/transpo...

'I've done biology GCSE - this is what the textbook said.' ‘You’ve gone far-right because pronouns make you sad.' Caller Aaron is adamant there are only two genders. @natashadevon.bsky.social strongly disagrees.

🚆 Another barrier to accessible travel… King’s Cross is removing trains from departure boards 3–4 mins before departure. How does this help? It only creates more barriers for disabled passengers. I shared my thoughts in @telegraphnews.bsky.social:(www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/02...)

Just submitted a very different very person piece to be published!! Keep your fingers crossed I’ll be sharing a link to it soon!

Trump falsely blamed disabled workers for a plane crash. His rhetoric isn’t just offensive—it fuels discrimination, exclusion, and rising disability hate crime. This isn’t just a U.S. problem—it normalises exclusion globally. www.thewheelchairactivist.com/the-blog/tru... #Ableism #DisabilityRights

Couldn’t agree more

As TikTok fights a federal law that bans it in the U.S. unless it is sold, it publicly referenced and thanked President-elect Donald Trump for his support in statements and videos since Friday. It even built its flattery directly into the app so its 170 million American users could see it.

A cold day in hell...
