Hi friends! I've stopped using this platform for the time being... felt too sad not seeing that little blue bird! I'd still love to connect with people, and I'll be mainly posting silly pictures on Instagram: @ AllieMaybe.
With love and light ✨️

I don’t like to share GB News but this is honestly one of the most (accidental?) Partridge clips I have ever seen

[Alex Covell @Alex1May]

@NadiaNadarajah Also... if I see it correctly, they have called the 'Changing Places' facility a 'baby changing'!!

[Alex Covell @Alex1May]

Fantastic example of some brilliant self-descriptions! Really hope this influences more organisations to create these.

[Alex Covell @Alex1May]

@10DowningStreet In terms of accessibility, this is the worst kind of video: spoken text with no captions and writing on the screen with no voice over! And that's even besides the content...

[Alex Covell @Alex1May]

Well isn't this lovely!!

I say this all the time: progress over perfection!
Great thread about advocating and educating over berating:

[Meryl Evans, CPACC @merylkevans]

Please. Educate. Don't berate. Focus on progress over perfection. It's not all or nothing. If you go for all or nothing, change will never happen.

Besides, there's no such thing as 100% accessible.
