I mostly tweet as @lisybabe, but that account's locked. I'll only tweet here when I need to tweet something public.

There’s steps at both the front & rear doors; so I guess wheelchair users who run into difficulty on a night out are not deserving of help. Even though we’re more likely to run into difficulty; such as taxis refusing us.

And there’s a picture of a wheelchair user on the side! 🤦‍♀️

@Corneliussmit56 @Lucy_Webster_ There is no such thing as an indefinite blue badge, all blue badges have to be renewed every 3 years, precisely cos, as you say, once the owner dies some family members, of some dead BB holders, will abuse the badge until it expires.

Also cos faces age and photos need updating.

@Lucy_Webster_ You should still be receiving an annual award letter every single April, informing you of how much your PIP has gone up by that month. I was on “indefinite” DLA, now have “ongoing” PIP; and I’ve always had my annual April letter.

@LeftieStats Any idea how close Andrew Feinstein could get to Keir Starmer?

This week marks one year since our Camden Safety Bus has been running.

The bus is a safe space for anyone in Camden who needs assistance or support when on a night out.

Watch our video and find out more.

@joshparry @BBCNews @dannelson_cam @kristianj23 Done

@joshparry @BBCNews @dannelson_cam @kristianj23 Sorry to bother you again about this, but I attempted to watch it again this morning and it still doesn’t have subtitles.

While blind ppl rightly get a discount on the TV licence; deaf & hard of hearing ppl do not: We pay the same as hearing ppl. Yet we don’t get equal access.

[Lisa Egan @Lisybabe_Public]

@ryangrim @amazon @JeffBezos It’s available on Amazon UK; just above the “buy” button there’s a note that it may arrive after Xmas.

[Lisa Egan @Lisybabe_Public]

@joshparry @BBCNews @dannelson_cam @kristianj23 I know it’s not your fault, you’re a reporter, not one of the techies.

But this isn’t the first time stuff has been published on iPlayer initially without subs; which were then added later: iPlayer did the same with *Access All’s* election interviews about disability policy.

[Lisa Egan @Lisybabe_Public]

@joshparry @BBCNews @dannelson_cam @kristianj23 I just tried to watch it on iPlayer, and it doesn’t have subtitles. You are aware that some deaf and hard of hearing people are also members of the LGBT community, and therefore interested in this doc?

@RobbieRinder @BeethFrancees Well, there was that creep on a bus who - without even a “hey” or “nice day, eh?” - asked if I had any phantom limb pain. I was so stunned by the bizarre question literally all I could manage was stretching out all 4 limbs & saying “I’d have to have something amputated first!?!”

[Lisa Egan @Lisybabe_Public]

@RobbieRinder @BeethFrancees You got the full medical histories of a group of total strangers?

I find that surprising since - being very obviously disabled - I’ve had a lifetime of strangers demanding to know what’s “wrong” with me; and I never tell them cos it’s none of their fucking business.

@premnsikka Since I QTed your post from my main, private, @Lisybabe account a couple of hours ago; these are what all my ads on here look like now:

[Lisa Egan @Lisybabe_Public]

@owenjonesjourno … that includes lansoprazole, but also any other oral meds. (ISTR you have ADHD?)

Gaviscon (+ all fast acting antacids), and calcium supplements, can prevent other oral medications from working properly, hence you need to wait 2hrs after Gav for lanso, then + 2hrs for more Gav.

[Lisa Egan @Lisybabe_Public]

@owenjonesjourno So if Dr Stuart Bloom is still at UCLH, you would be so lucky to get him.

Until you’ve had some tests done, there’s thousands of things it could possibly be.

One last thing: Make sure you don’t take Gaviscon within 2 hours either side of any other oral meds, and yes…
