WE'RE BACK with episode number 5. We talk @SelmaBlair and her #multiplesclerosis, the problem with #orkambi and ACCESSIBILITY.
Dr @katherine_deane from @uniofeastanglia talks us through accessibility and its incredible potential. soundcloud.com/user-21934782…
Hey!
So, if it hasn’t been obvious, we are on an indefinite hiatus at the moment. Unfortunately, when you run a podcast on disability, chances are your health can deteriorate.
We have decided to prioritise our health for now, but might revisit the podcast in the future.
Bizarre question for people with physical disabilities: is there something you have always wanted to do, no matter how bizarre or outrageous or unlikely it is, that your disability has refrained you from doing?

‘This damning insight into the state’s callous treatment of disabled people calls for a new "solidarity politics",’ — @YvonneARoberts on @DrFrancesRyan's book #Crippled. theguardian.com/books/2019/j…
Hey! Thank you so much for the great response regarding the pride month episode! I’m going to work out how I’d like to go about it this week, then I’ll reply to you all once I’ve figured it out! It’s so nice to see so many people respond!

Hey! I'd really love to do an lgbt/disability episode for pride month! I was wondering if there'd be people that would be interested in doing an interview with me about being LGBT+ and disabled! Feel free to reply/DM if you're interested

Hey guys we are sorry there was no episode for April! Unfortunately, real life has been pretty stressful for the both of us and we have been unable to record. But we have so much planned that we can’t wait to share with you! Hope you’re all doing well 💞
Absolutely adoring Netflix’s Special at the moment! It’s so refreshing to see disability AND LGBT+ rep in a tv show. The idea that you can only have one minority at a time winds me up, and it’s so nice to see that beginning to change.
If you’re LGBT+ and also have a disability/long term health condition, I’d really love to hear about your own experiences with how one affects the other. I want to do this for the media part & would love the interview to be the experiences of a variety of people!

Disabled friends, how do you get around in London? I often forgo my walking stick due to all the stairs. Paying for it today with swelling in my legs, won't be walking today! Advice much appreciated :)

Why might disabled people make GREAT students? The amazing @katherine_deane gives us her theory in episode 5:
#disability #disabledstudents #highereducation
