Genuinely, I have no words…

It’s really not ok to make light of someone appearance, including wearing sunglasses indoors, particularly when chairing a debate on national TV.

No Alt text for the image on the announcement tweet for the new minister for disabled people. A predictably poor start there then!
We're delighted @MimsDavies has been appointed as the Minister for Disabled People, Health and Work @DWPgovuk, taking forward our next generation of welfare reforms to tear down barriers to work for disabled people across the UK and continuing to protect those most in need.
Anyone else remember when Ewan McGregor’s mum used to live audio describe films at The Watershed…..???

Israeli military have been urging hospitals & Int’l orgs in northern Gaza to rapidly relocate people to the south & airdropping leaflets. This is virtually impossible: w/no transport children, sick & older people, pregnant women, persons with disabilities can’t make this journey.

I need plastic straws to drink particularly away from home. I can't use reusable alternatives. I'd been using biodegradable ones but most melt in hot drinks or break in transit. Not the biggest issue but being stuck without a straw causes me stress that wasn't there a few yrs ago

6 yrs on it’s a scandal that the bereaved, survivors & residents of #Grenfell continue to be let down. It’s scandalous that their grief is compounded by inaction & a lack of accountability & there’s an ever-present risk their trauma will play out in other communities.
Gosh RNIB very Risque!

Blind and partially sighted people are as important as people who ride bicycles. Floating bus stops are denying visually impaired people safe access to bus stops.There has to be a better way to keep all citizens as safe as possible when getting about.
Petition on safety & accessibility at bus stops handed in @10DowningStreet supported by 160+ organisations on Tuesday. We want bus passengers to get on & off the bus directly from the pavement, without having to cross or step into a cycle lane. Petition also handed in for new PM.
Totally support making transport cleaner and greener in our cities but not at the expense of blind and partially sighted citizens. We shouldn’t have to choose between environmental, access and safety issues.
Passionate questions being asked for both #Bristol and #Gloucestershire councils at the moment. Very important issues being raised for #VisuallyImpaired people

The “ALT TEXT” meme, I get it’s frustrating…..but let’s hope it brings a positive result that more people will learn and understand it’s meaning and start using it. #AltText #BlindTwitter #AltTextMeme
It is so tiring trying to make your projects and artistic endeavours fit yet another ground breaking funding 'opportunity'. There, that's my thought for the day!
I am wanting to make contact with other professional visually impaired (blind and partially sighted) dancers/makers. Would be great to connect!
Just binge listened to @TalkDescription to me podcast. I absolutely love this podcast. Brilliant presenters and description rich conversation. The subjects covered are super interesting! #AudioDescription

Sliding into a diabetic coma but it’ll be worth it. @HarrySpecters makes quite possibly the best chocolates I’ve ever tasted outside 🇧🇪 but its founding principle is a social one: giving work to autistic adults. We filmed here today..you can’t help but be impressed 📺 BBC1 630pm

One of the most dangerous ideas in the arts is that once you start something - a building, a company, a festival - it has to go on forever.
A brilliant performance. Can only imagine the amount of work that went in to making Waldo's Circus @Ex_Bodies @BristolOldVic
Excellent program notes for Waldo's Circus. Really looking forward to the performance and #AudioDescription @BristolOldVic @Ex_Bodies
