£18 billion spent on building the brand new Elizabeth Line, and because the ticket office was closed today I couldn’t get on a train. Absolutely mind-boggling that this new line requires a manual boarding ramp and there are seemingly times where there are no staff?

The WORLD PREMIER of #Orbits is at @fruitmarket, 29 Apr - 5 May Orbits is a new film work, about how we feel and what we experience when we lose something we have been in orbit or relationship with. How does this change affect our experience of ourselves?

Dear Everyone, I don’t understand how film companies keep making films with non disabled actors playing disabled people and understand it’s not realistically telling our stories and it’s really offensive. @GoldwynFilms @ComeAsYouAre

... There’s only one race. The human race. Racism is man made. Which means we can dismantle & destroy it. But to do that, we all need to come together & invest in the long term educative tools that are needed so that in 100 years time, our future won’t look like our present! 🙏🏾🤎

... The worlds press needs to stop referencing George Floyd’s murder/lynching as “death”. Why are they choosing to shy away from the blatant, harsh truth of the matter? Tell it like it is and put an end to softening the impact of this racist act; Murder...

Every Disabled Person who has a job interview from now on, if they are asked by the interviewer, during interview, if they 'Have any Questions' should say Yes'. What adjustments did you make for your employees who worked from home during Lockdown?
