#SERAspace @astroaccess Research Flight #2 back in December of 2022 allowed me to see old friends like @Astro_Cady & Tim Bailey (@tim846) and make new friends Dwayne Fernandez (@FunkyFernandes) & @MichiBenthaus. Michi recently announced that she will be flying on a New Shepard rocket in the future! Way to go Michi! So proud!🚀👩🚀🫡
I want to be part of the 6 person team flying aboard New Shepard for @seraspaceage. So please support me in my dream of spaceflight by signing up on Telegram for the SERA Mission Control app... t.me/sera_mission_control_bo…
Just watching #ECHO and in the first episode I see #KingPin the Villain hire an indigenous, female, deaf amputee. We see him motivate her, find her purpose, employ her, and ensuring every planned meeting has an #ASL interpreter.
Why can’t all evil employers be this #inclusive?
Be more like #KingPin an inclusive employer for people with disability and marginalized groups. #DisabilityTwitter
It’s National Amputee Awareness Week from 4 to 11 October.
This is important as I run Minds at Play where we play #DungeonsandDragons and I am off to PAX Australia to talk on #pax panel.
This means for the rest of the week I have disadvantage on all stealth checks! Wish me luck!
OUR BODY IS READY! #PAXAus is TOMORROW! Welcome Home! Limited Friday Badges left: aus.paxsite.com/en-us/regist…

Happy National Space Day!
We should build a future in space that is accessible to all.
AstroAccess is an organization I helped start to encourage universal design and disability inclusion in space.
Here's a great article on the program (see pp 10-15): lnkd.in/gSgXmiEk

This was a lot of fun and learning and I love hanging out with #SpaceJesus @lucasradaelli and the @astroaccess crew! Have a listen.
This episode of Our Future in Space features Dr. Sheyna Gifford @humansareawesme + a panel of @astroaccess ambassadors on accessibility in the space industry. We hear from @FunkyFernandes, @SheilaZXu, & Lucas Radaelli about why #spaceisforeveryone!

Skills learnt by playing the fantasy tabletop role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons could be transferable to the workplace, according to a university lecturer, who says it has team-building benefits. ab.co/3Nl4AZ7
When @mindsatplay_au meets @Levelupdice @powerhouse heroes slay dragons! Awesome seeing you here.
Here is hoping, but I am always open to be consulted on how it impacts me and the community I serve.
Hi @FunkyFernandes. Thank you for your submission to the #NDISReview. Sharing your experience with the #NDIS will help to shape its future. xitter.cf/FunkyFernandes/status/…
