This week has had a strong #inclusion and #intersectionality focus, so I thought I'd highlight some of the key takeaways from the discussions.

In the run-up to the vote, there were multiple warnings that this might happen. We can't risk #VoterID in a general election.
#MyMaskMyVote Not allowed to vote once inside, despite bringing ID & video of me putting on mask, as no options for reasonable adjustments for those who are #immunosuppressed. Recorded as turned away with reason: no guidance for those with Disability.

Early Career Experiences of Public Engagement - super report from @cprthorley and @STFC_Matters. Lots of enthusiasm and high levels of confidence for PE among ECR, but plenty of structural barriers.
Helpful tips/manifesto towards the end of the report.

We need to talk much more about transphobia as the gateway into far right radicalisation, especially for middle class, cis white women of a certain age…
We can confirm that JK Rowling is now liking tweets by Libs of TikTok - a far right, racist, homophobic, transphobic account which frequently targets and harasses marginalised communities.
This instance relates specifically to Kanye's antisemitic comments.
ALT JK Rowlings likes. Shows a Libs of TikTok tweet containing a screenshot of whether Kanye is a white supremacist, followed by a pouting picture of Kanye.

Disabled artists and workers are NOT an afterthought.
Art should be accessible to all.
We can and must do better.
#FreelancersMakeTheatreWork
ALT Statement: On Friday, a member of the freelance theatre community withdrew from an event due to serious failures in providing equitable working conditions in access requirements. The freelancer publicly wrote about their experience and the company swiftly acknowledged their error and apologised publicly and personally to the performer. However, this is not a single issue with one organisation but rather a systemic issue within our industry and the wider arts. There are many organisations and individuals fighting hard to make meaningful change, but if we don’t prioritise access and the dignity of disabled workers in our industry, then we continue to be exclusionary. Disabled artists and workers are NOT an afterthought. Art should be accessible to all. We can and must do better.

A new report by @resfoundation confirms that the Disabled population of the UK are at a heightened risk of experiencing material deprivation, meaning that they are unable to afford everyday essentials, like food and heating
Current Government supported is shockingly inadequate.

Government ‘has made no proper blackout plans’ for disabled people
@SalBrinton said :
she was “frustrated but perhaps not surprised to discover the lack of planning” as “once again disabled people are being forgotten”.

As we fast approach #ChildrenInNeed I propose the @BBC treats the word #Inspirational like other potentially damaging words only after the watershed & max number of uses in any one show! Shout out to other disabled-led orgs who don’t apply to @BBCCiN because of how money’s raised
You might be interested in this: touretteshero.com/2021/11/20… “In 2012 the BBC created a disability terminology guide: does this go in the bin for Children in Need? Why does this high profile show get a pass when it comes to how disabled people’s experiences are discussed?”
Next time I can’t remote dial into something I am definitely doing this! #publicengagement
