Went to watch two “recently added” on @ParamountUK @paramountplus Curfew a series and The Beast Within a film and neither have subtitles 🤦🏼‍♂️

@TfL any idea when your online refund claim page for contactless will be back up and running?

@TfL any idea when your contactless refund claims will be back online? Need to make a claim as the contactless reader a friend and I both used to board Thames clipper didn’t work and we’ve been charged a hefty fare.

Or can it be claimed back at a staffed station?

[LGBTQdisability 🏳️‍🌈🧜🏻‍♀️🦻🏼 @qdisability]

No subtitles / captions. 🤣 well done.

[Channel 4 News @Channel4News]

Sir Keir Starmer told @channel4news that transport accessibility for disabled people should be a ‘basic requirement’.

It comes after former Paralympian Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson says she had to crawl off a train at King’s Cross station because no staff were there to help her.

hi @UKLabour @labourlgbtq i think it’s pretty clear no standing uk mp should have a public facing profile like this, or indeed hold these views, while in office. you need to remove the whip immediately and stop the spread of this hateful (and factually incorrect) transphobia now

[LGBTQdisability 🏳️‍🌈🧜🏻‍♀️🦻🏼 @qdisability]

Gross. You know what’s uncomfortable? Labour continuing to support both the transphobic mob and the continued bombing of schools and hospitals. The state of @labour.

"It was a very uncomfortable watch"

Still no subtitles. The episode came out on Thursday. It is now Sunday. @paramountplus @StarTrekOnPPlus @CBS @ParamountUK

[LGBTQdisability 🏳️‍🌈🧜🏻‍♀️🦻🏼 @qdisability]

No subtitles on Star Trek Discovery this week 😩 @paramountplus

@StarTrekOnPPlus

[LGBTQdisability 🏳️‍🌈🧜🏻‍♀️🦻🏼 @qdisability]

The option to pick them is there, they just don’t appear.

This isn’t the first issue with Paramount and subtitles - captions either.

[LGBTQdisability 🏳️‍🌈🧜🏻‍♀️🦻🏼 @qdisability]

Hey @ParamountPlusUK why no subtitles on the latest Lower Decks? I’ve tried Chrome, Safari and my Sony Bravia TV and none have the option. Unacceptable.

🖤 Black History Month recognises and reflects on the history of Black people.

It also remembers struggles for equality and justice, as well as being an opportunity for people to learn more about the injustice Black people face.

But why is it a cause for Scope to talk about? 🧵

Also great for older people and busy families!

[LGBTQdisability 🏳️‍🌈🧜🏻‍♀️🦻🏼 @qdisability]

This is great for accessibility. Great work Tesco. Fuck this “this is lazy” as a narrative- you might think this is an innocent meme, but it fuels the culture of othering, hate and the political angle of “disabled people are lazy” that is deep in our society.

[No Context Brits @NoContextBrits]

We’ve reached peak laziness.

Iconic! Bruce Richman, founder of Prevention Access Campaign which helped make U=U a global movement, wearing our @polaripress U=U tee created exclusively for our pop-up. The tee pays tribute to General Idea’s ‘AIDS'.

TY Bruce for all that you do❤️

"We tried to be diverse and it backfired on us."

This single line from Adventure Island CEO @PhilipMillerMBE says everything you need to know about conditional allyship, and how quickly brands will sell LGBTQ+ people up the river the moment their support receives criticism.
