Sharing some thoughts on being three years into the pandemic today, and what it’s been like for me: theheatherreport.com/2023/03…

Looking Back on Three Years - The Heather Report

Earlier this week, some friends and I were talking about how this time three years ago, everything was starting to change. We were all being told to work from home (and to stay home, if possible!),...

I love that @taylorswift13 and @taylornation13 have been so helpful in fixing access issues disabled Swifties are having. But the sheer number of tweets I’ve seen like this in the past week is a sign of how far we still have to go to make concerts accessible!

From the ticket buying process, to getting in to the venue, to having the same seating options as everyone else! Disabled people like to have fun and go to concerts, too, and our needs are largely ignored/added as an afterthought. This isn’t a Taylor-specific issue!

Hi @taylorswift13 @taylornation13 is there any way I could get ADA accessible seats for the 5/28 #ErasTour show at @MetLifeStadium ? So happy to have tickets in section 328 but recently tore my ACL and need surgery soon. Called MetLife and they weren’t able to assist. 💙

Attending conferences as a deaf person comes with a whole slew of accessibility & inclusion issues. While most people feel excitement, I feel anxiety. As I prepare to present at the @AAASmeetings with several colleagues on STEM sign language, here are my thoughts over the years:

Hi @taylorswift13 @taylornation13, any chance you can help me switch my 7/8 tickets in KC for accessible tickets? I feel very lucky to be able to have tickets to a show but with my ankylosing spondylitis & the mobility issues it causes, there’s really no way I can make it to the seats I have. I have contacted @GEHAField & they said there’s nothing they can do until the day of & even that’s dependent on availability & not guaranteed. Any assistance you can offer this chronic illness Swiftie is greatly appreciated 💕💜

A lot of y’all love using ableism to put down the candidate you like the least but can’t stand being confronted with the results of that when it looks like this:

Okay it's time to once and for all settle the eternal question: no, I *do not* have a license for this thing (my wheelchair). Thank you and have a nice day.
