Sad to know Penguin decided not to distribute Joe Sacco’s latest book in India. It’s on Muzaffarnagar Riots. Penguin said it had a wrong version of the Indian map.

In case you haven’t read Joe Sacco, he is just brilliant. Here are some of his books in my shelf.

The scene in #SitareZameenPar where judge says it's "intellectually disabled'" & yet the English subtitles keep showing "intellectually challenged". Lost in translation?!

@BlindGrlMusings The Kindle devices aren't accessible for me , I am a person with low vision. I prefer using the Kindle app on my tab. It's accessible and comfortable to use

@SimritaTakhtar Aww. Congrats Sim💜

Instances like this add to the hostility and suspicion towards people who are disabled and need the crumbs of benefits from the State.

Telling me that you have watched "Kerala Story" when I introduce myself as a Malayalee is not the pickup line that you think it is.🙄

@drsitu So sad to see a disability commissioner sharing this as "inspiration".

@EmpressAnjali24 @ParisAeroport @ncpedp_india @armanaly @StateIVLP @French_Gov @USAndIndia @socialpwds I was travelling with the same group and I am a person with visual impairment. Despite that I wasn't given any assistance, the person on the desk rudely said they can't give any assistance during the layover. I was given assistance only while boarding the next plane.

Caregivers also need support. Great initiative @CMOKerala @rbinducpm

I want to live a quiet life without any social media, but I remember I am disabled & I need Twitter to complain & raise issues about discrimination & inaccessibility. I understand the importance of social media advocacy but sometimes it's too exhausting.

@abhishekanicca I have been living Rheumatoid Arthritis for years & only when I lost my eye sight from it I was considered disabled. In India many chronic illnesses are not part of the disability discussion & policy.
