Thanks @LNER for the great service and for helping me make my seat quickly and comfortably!

All settled in and ready for the journey to #Edinburgh

#A11yScotland #accessibility #trains

@DisabilityExpo_ @GrumpyGitsShow @Ullers91 - this is the podcast that was live at Naidex! @RollOutMobility you guys should give this a listen 🙌

[Dean Frank Reynolds ☠️♿ @DeanFReynolds]

Great prizes and who doesn’t like a Simpsons Christmas Jumper and a Charmander 🤓

[Dean Frank Reynolds ☠️♿ @DeanFReynolds]

@Super_Crip1994 Awesome! Hoping it’s straightforward. Nothing worse that being locked out of a mini game (and some game benefits like friendship and xp) because of lack of accessibility 😨

You going Scarlet or Violet for first play through? Team Violet here 🟣

The average size of a woman is 16. This ‘inclusive’ agency is launching a CURVE division for size 12 (I’m a size 12) up.

Nah.

@GarethFW If the building was fully accessible, but then the procedure failed to consider access needs id argue that this is worse...!

Taking something fit for purpose and rendering it useless, and adding back barriers is what businesses do every day 🙈

@TynemouthPool @DEI_durham @NorthTyneCA @northeastlep @NorthumbriaUni @NTCouncilTeam @NGinitiative @alancampbellmp @Michaeldwood74 @Swim_England This is excellent news! 🙌

Hope accessibility is also being considered here too!

Sloping entrance with grips or a manual hoist would really fit the sustainability goals too!

@3SC_ @PurpleTuesNov Don't forget that #PurpleTuesday is also about being accessible online too!

No Alt-Text on posts about being more #accessible and celebrating #Disability isn't a good look! 🙈

[Dean Frank Reynolds ☠️♿ @DeanFReynolds]

@SkiptonBS_press @SignVideo This is great!

But don't forget #CamelCase write out hashtags like this #PurpleTuesday - it's more accessible 🙌

@RachelCDailey Saddened to read that - a disabled actor just acting with no tragic ableist storyline and not a single mention or camera lingering too long it was exactly what we need more of!

[Dean Frank Reynolds ☠️♿ @DeanFReynolds]

@RachelCDailey @BlondeHistorian Performative Accessibility Awareness at best clueless Social Media managers at worst?

Image Descriptions are a big thing right now despite not actually helping as much as accessible design practices, contrast and alt-text...!

Bonus points if the ID takes 5min to find 🤦🏻‍♂️

[Dean Frank Reynolds ☠️♿ @DeanFReynolds]

@alexstewardd It's terrible event management, procedure and shows whoever got to contract for the event isn't good at what they do.

Accessibility and Inclusion isn't about one rule for some - another for others and a different one again for everyone else.

[Dean Frank Reynolds ☠️♿ @DeanFReynolds]

@ludawinthesky Lumi and Spoons reporting for duty 🙌

[Dean Frank Reynolds ☠️♿ @DeanFReynolds]

@RobbieCrow 🤦🏻‍♂️ People are terrible! This is why I avoid public transport as much as possible. Hope you can still have a great day.

[Dean Frank Reynolds ☠️♿ @DeanFReynolds]

It’s not as difficult as you think! 🙌

[MyClearText @mycleartext]

What's the business plan for improving accessibility? It looks a bit like this:
Invest in accessibility = including more people, and welcoming diversity. A no-brainer, really

[Dean Frank Reynolds ☠️♿ @DeanFReynolds]

@jtruk Slimy and not accessible it’s a double no from me 😆
