It's 2024 and the word "able-bodied" is still being used to describe non-disabled people in Paralympics coverage. Just heard it used on BBC 5 Live Sport - almost immediately after a segment on improving the language around disability. Sigh.

What is the opposite of a national treasure?

I'm sorry but this is the most obvious yellow card I've ever seen

Thank you to everyone who came to the #coproduction symposium #cds24 Great to see such enthusiasm for research by people with learning disabilities 👊👊👊

#CDS24 is love. #CDS24 is life. Centre for Disability Studies ♥️
