Hot off the press! We have just released an #openaccess issue that explores social inclusion and isolation of disabled people during the #pandemic.

@thelrm @DeafInstitute @TheCaitlinRose Been told once by a venue that they could not provide a chair for me to sit because it's a tripping hazard for drunk people!

[Dr. Ana Bê 💙 @anabeonline]

@thelrm @DeafInstitute @TheCaitlinRose Really sorry to hear about this, Morag. It's a struggle to get venues to understand access beyond wheelchair usage.I end up not going to so many things because I know I can't sit. They just don't get it

[Dr. Ana Bê 💙 @anabeonline]

This whole thread is terrifying but this is what it feels to be disabled...

I've talked about this before, but as this ad is activating trauma, I want to explain what disabled people live with.

More than 15 years ago (yes, before the Tories), all my benefits suddenly stopped. When I called to ask why I was put through to the fraud office.
