Tech and disability 🙌🏼 Watching the Paralympics always remind me that we can have more accessible and inclusive environments. Society just chooses not to. Half the athletes competing have no other opportunities at home for independence.

Rebecca Cheptengei is Dead. We speak your name in the land of the living. Rest in Power Yes this is Femicide. We must end Femicide.

Give it up to Lloyd!!! Today 19 year old Lloyd Martin became the youngest known person with Down syndrome to complete a marathon.

No, it could have been, that is the conclusion of the report.

"X’s engagement will likely continue to decrease for research and education organisations and unless they are willing to spend money to promote content [--]." Andy Tattersall gives food for thought in this piece on the LSE Impact Blog. blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsocial… #socialmedia

If you go through the accounts you're following to delete any that have been inactive for a while, you can only do this about 20 or so times before you get an error every time saying "Something went wrong, please try again". Why would Twitter try to discourage this?

I was shocked to see the nasty comments directed at Gus Walz because of the emotion he displayed when his dad was accepted as nominee for vice president. Like me Gus is autistic there was nothing weird about him expressing his delight that his father had won the nomination.

I'd love to see an update about the lives of queer, learning disabled folks in the UK led by organisations of learning disabled people. There was joy, wonder, sadness & discrimination in our research. Plus a call out for more solidarity from the non-disabled, queer community. 3/3

If you don’t play Dougie McLean’s Caledonia when you cross the border from England into Scotland, you’re doing it wrong

Less than 5 months ago, Keir Starmer felt ‘disgusted’ by the idea of pensioners not being able to heat their homes. What a difference an election makes.

The winner of the most “crass, insensitive & detached from reality” tweet of the century is crowned.

KT✨ It's not safe to imply that some people LET their disabilities hinder them. Like it's literally not safe. That mentality is a massive barrier we have to deal with in order to access the help, resources and accommodations that we really need
