Twitter/X has become far too toxic, so I won't be posting here any more.
But! If you'd like to stay connected join me over at #Bluesky https://t.co/eBackcnaXj

@heritage_lizzie @HTNmembers Thank you Lizzie! Very exciting times ahead for the Network

[Bionic Bev 🦾Ⓥ🦊 @BionicBeverley]

@LearningHoolet @HTNmembers These models are absolutely brilliant! It was lovely to see them at the conference. (And having just built lego Rivendell I know how much time and effort goes into them!)

[Bionic Bev 🦾Ⓥ🦊 @BionicBeverley]

@ArchHFund @HTNmembers Thank you for your support! Great to see you all.

[Bionic Bev 🦾Ⓥ🦊 @BionicBeverley]

@WmGrantFound @HTNmembers Thank you so much for your support. It's been a brilliant conference (and it's not over yet!)

[Bionic Bev 🦾Ⓥ🦊 @BionicBeverley]

@LEGO_Group Rivendell is finished! I absolutely love the #yeabricks lighting kit, although it was mega fiddly. #lego #LOTR #LordOfTheRings

@TheLastLeg #WheelchairBasketball Blokes with Spokes!

@MANDARINLEISURE All good here Martin! How about you?

[Bionic Bev 🦾Ⓥ🦊 @BionicBeverley]

@Globellauk Just introducing you to @MarshmanIJ as you asked about NE and buildings at risk. (We're all former HTL employees)

[Bionic Bev 🦾Ⓥ🦊 @BionicBeverley]

Quite fitting that I've just walked past the statue of Suffragist Millicent Garrett Fawcett in Parliament Square as all the TV cameras were setting up.

Get out and vote tomorrow!

It's Disability Pride Month and if there's one thing that I'd love for it to achieve would be for more people to educate themselves on ableism and 'Assume that I Can' rather than assume that I (and other disabled people) can't.

If we have positive assumptions about people with Down syndrome, we'll give them more opportunities. And maybe these positive assumptions will become reality. #AssumeThatICan #WDSD24 #WorldDownSyndromeDay #EndTheStereotypes

@Feargal_Sharkey I can imagine the auto-generated captions are raising an eyebrow!

[Bionic Bev 🦾Ⓥ🦊 @BionicBeverley]

Well I've arrived in Wakefield, had amazing vegan food at Sofra Turkish grill, walked past the cathedral, Unity Hall and the Art House and now all set to deliver this @HTNmembers event tomorrow!

[Heritage Network @Heritage_Net_UK]

This time next week we'll be in Wakefield for our high street regeneration event.
Join us at Unity Hall for a day of talks, case studies, lunch & a tour of the Art House and local heritage action zone.

@southkesteven Would be great to have a link to the website as text in images is inaccessible.

So pleased to see my interview with @HistEnvForum on inclusion and diversity in (digital) print!

[Historic Environment Forum (HEF) @HistEnvForum]

We are pleased to share another Diversity & Inclusion themed @HistEnvForum Sector #Resilience interview. We hear from Beverley Gormley at @HTNmembers about her passion for making #heritage more inclusive and #accessible: https://t.co/tCCdZYJhX9

Coincidence of the day yesterday - totally immersed on a train from London King's Cross reading @robinhobb Assassin's Fate for the umpteenth time. This section of the story is about the liveship 'Paragon'. Get off the train at Grantham and notice the train's name... Paragon 😊

[Bionic Bev 🦾Ⓥ🦊 @BionicBeverley]

@Bananaprise @MemberWise You're too kind Jayne!

[Bionic Bev 🦾Ⓥ🦊 @BionicBeverley]

What a surreal day presenting on the digital accessibility panel at @MemberWise Digital Excellence Conference in London where I was immortalised in cartoon format!

[Bionic Bev 🦾Ⓥ🦊 @BionicBeverley]

@TessaChynoweth @chapplecartoons @MemberWise I might have to get it framed 😁

[Bionic Bev 🦾Ⓥ🦊 @BionicBeverley]

Delighted to have been immortalised by @chapplecartoons as 'Bionic Bev the brilliant accessibility nag' at @MemberWise #DX2024 today. I'm hoping that at least a few of the delegates will have been inpspired to start their own digital accessibility journeys 🦾
