Hey @pax I'm at an accessibility panel. Where are the #captions? A request for an audience member to #asltranslate is underwhelming to say the least.

[Anna Spiteri @anna_spiteri]

Hi there @MIFFofficial . Every year I tweet about the lack of #captions and every year nothing changes. 15% of Aussies have some form of #hearingloss. That's 15% of your market. Do better.

@goldie_oz And a lawnmower, I believe?

read a load of people losing it over the phrase ‘identify as disabled’ & i have been viscerally reminded that abled people think that disabled people get told by a doctor that we’re disabled

@AdeleRickerby @Miranda_J_Doyle @padmav @isobel_maddison @LucyCavColl So so good to hear. Can't wait to read it ❤️

@LoicMnzs @JohnPeterJerrim @strangemachina you might recognise this technique?

[Simon Goldman @goldie_oz]

Let us all repeat, yet again: demand-side policies act only to drive up prices (and in this case funded by peoples’ retirement) #auspol

@nap___queen Bro and I were bottle fed and are happy and healthy Gen X adults. We wouldn't be quite as well adjusted if our mum had put herself and us through the stress of breast feeding which worked for exactly none of us.

@goldie_oz @TheEconomist 👏👏👏 you should send that into reader's digest...

1/9 As a wheelchair user ableism and being underestimated shows up in all areas of my life but never do I feel it more than within parenting settings.

I'm going to keep saying it until the journalists make the connection. The people currently dying 'with underlying conditions' are the vulnerable people we were supposed to be protecting from COVID.

URGENT: We have just days to ensure the parliamentary inquiries currently considering the #ReligiousDiscriminationBill hear our voices.
The Bill will wind back hard-fought discrimination protections for women, LGBTIQ+ people, people with disability, and even people of faith.

@sarkpowell This has been a lightbulb moment for me💡(lightbulb emoji). The number of times I've ended up on the wrong train (and usually on days when I'm completely wrecked). Glad you got the right one in the end!

[Anna Spiteri @anna_spiteri]

@LoicMnzs Recipe please? 🙏

[Anna Spiteri @anna_spiteri]

What do you say @MIFFofficial? Will 2022 be the year the festival is #accessible for all? 2/2

"I don't know anyone who's been through all these fertility treatments without coming out with the child."

Thank you to these amazing people for sharing their experience and helping me see our story mirrored rather than the 'usual' happy ending. 🙏❤️ https://t.co/UbLMkkMI9p
