Does anyone know of any Deaf Organisations / Charities campaigning on accessible transport, or who have policy positions on this? Recommendations very much appreciated!

Mary Shelley did try to warn us about hubristic STEM bros who make strange, impulsive experiments and then watch helplessly as their creation destroys itself at the expense of ordinary people.

Could you be our EDI Lead at @SignHealth? I'm looking for an EDI consultant to work with us for at least nine months to help deliver on a number of initiatives we have in development. You don't need to be deaf to work with us on this - we will support anyone who isn't familiar

I'm not saying that we don’t need those skills. We do, but only because so many things aren't accessible to start with. We also need non-disabled people to use their vote and to push for policy changes. We have a collective responsibility to make this happen.

I wish we put as much pressure on society to change as we put on young disabled people to learn self-advocacy skills. I used to really push for these skills, but the older I get the more I see that we desperately need systemic change.

Today, ticket prices have increased by another 2.6%. Yet there’s still no step-free access on 41% of Britain’s rail network preventing many disabled people from travelling. Do you know how accessible rail is in your area? Find out now! #GetOnBoard bit.ly/3dU5YQP

I'm so glad to be attending this access & inclusion workshop from the @TheStayingInn today - if you are running events or taking part in online meetings I cannot recommend this training enough. Thank you to @BlondeHistorian and the wonderful Staying Inn team for organising! 💜

My tiny nerd heart is so full right now 💖🖖🐲
Here’s my weekly (delayed) #DiscoDoesDnD recap. What you see in the photo is our intrepid DM, @N_A_K, despairing over the fact that our now-5th-level party smashed an encounter with very little trouble. On paper it should have been tough — 3 Hags & their minions — but not for us!

Amazing result!
“This was the first time any train operating company allowed dedicated wheelchair spaces to be used for bikes, and it has to be the last.” Well done to @Doug_Paulley and fellow disability campaigners for securing this commitment from Govia Thameslink. transportforall.org.uk/victo…
