@Rikerstromboner @steviexdavis @barnell_andrew @NFBUK “Seventeen out the 385 serious pedestrian casualties hit by someone jumping a red light were hit by a cycle rider (4%).”

I don’t think it’s okay to be killed by any road user. Each of those ‘statistics’ is still a person, all 385 of them.

A number of LVAC members will be at St. Paul’s Church for their Makers’ Market in September. Come along and say hello!

@Sparx_59 @TravelodgeUK Great! Not 🫤

[Kathryn Barnett @KAM_1970]

Please give @lvac_cic a follow. They’re a great bunch of people who genuinely want to make a difference, using cultural learning to address health and educational inequalities. I can’t wait to start working with them 💜 #EastDurham #Art #community

@soult @DurhamCouncil @mcdada There is a need for this! I agree it *must* include grassroots art & local people to be relevant/ inclusive/ popular. Local collections have important works eg @durham_uni

Re: empty shops, how about a meeting with @mcdada so we can share our findings…?

@flowergirl_lon @railandroad @Eurostar Disgraceful! 😡

[Kathryn Barnett @KAM_1970]

@viciws I highly recommend adopting a strong ‘f*<% you’ mentality whenever possible. It doesn’t require you to care less about your work. It gives permission to care less about the people who disrespect it. And then have a nap x

@blindandb0ujee @RobbieCrow 2 for me.

A question for disabled people/people with disabilities:

Which do you prefer to use when talking about yourself:

1️⃣ Person-first language: “I am a person with a disability”

2️⃣ Identity-first language: “I am a disabled person”

Please RT for wider reach.

[Kathryn Barnett @KAM_1970]

It looks amazing :)

@JaySykesMedia Hugs to you. (I got one, too).

Lol - UK govt AGREED to eliminate disability discrimination in 2009

It’s 2023 and I couldn’t even knock on the door of @10DowningStreet to deliver a handwritten letter about the constant discrimination I face on public transport.. because it WASN’T accessible 😖

[Kathryn Barnett @KAM_1970]

@JayTee8772 @BlokeOnWheels There is nothing more dehumanising for a disabled woman than being sat at a tribunal in front of a panel of old men, talking about ‘toileting arrangements’. It’s necessary to appeal but it’s horrific too.

#ChesterleStreet's @thecraftfairco, inside @stcuthbertswalk, showcases local crafters and traders Wednesday to Saturday each week.

You can book your own stall (£15/day), rent a shelf, or even run a workshop. DM or Facebook message them (https://t.co/2JgfhBj1sc) for full info!

@flickhwilliams @Kallum_Of_York @KilbanePete There’s no visible access provision for people with restricted growth/ dwarfism eg steps. @hiyalittlelady did a wonderful photographic exhibition about life in an ‘average height’ world. Toilets were one of the subjects to come under her scrutiny.

@zuzatehanu @ace_national It’s NOT ideal but I managed to get on #grantium using my mobile phone and Chrome. (Safari goes straight to internal error).

@KatrionaBeales @jenn_ellen_kemp I’m still waiting, too. It was slow-but-working then internal server error then a 404/ not available status. The https://t.co/cuGg8y5ldT website is fine, it’s just the #grantium application system. I can’t even view the guidance notes. @ace_national should extend the deadline..?
