Mapped out the interactions I had during an 8 week mental health crisis for a uni essay. Strange to see a visual representation of the chaos and overwhelm I felt at the time which mental health services gaslighted me about. Thanks @touretteshero for your help and ideas

As a deaf gay man, I suddenly feel rather ‘alone’ and ‘unsafe’ @WFDeaf_org’s position of neutrality is sending a horrific message. WFD isn’t what I expect. What a scary world we are living in right now #wfd2023 we need to change the hosting nation @drjosephjmurray

The results of the world’s largest trial of a 4-day week (with no loss of pay) are out: ▪️ No drop in revenue ▪️ 65% fewer sick days ▪️ 71% less burnout ▪️ 92% of companies decide to keep the policy after the trial The conclusion is clear: we need a shorter working week.

This is a rather desperate tweet, but I’m looking to track down anyone who knew a man called Ralph Levene in either Amsterdam or Hackney. It’s his funeral in two weeks and I can’t bear to think of an empty chapel… he was 90 and the last of the beatniks. Please share…

‘It’s the same in other places’ is an excuse, not a reason. Precedent doesn’t make it ok. #Bristol @BristolCouncil DO BETTER. Set a better precedent. Show that a #CAZ can be done fairly. Set a standard of #DisabledAccess to admire, not to sink to. 3/3

‘registration’ system for Bristol is not straightforward and not accessible. It is a complex system on a complex website. Or by phone - also inaccessible for many disabled people. The time limits are unforgiving. The fines are obscene. 2/3 bristol.gov.uk/residents/stre…

This ⬇️. The excellent @johnpringdns on @wonderfullyarty’s experience of the discriminatory impact of the bureaucracy of CAZ. Disability admin, as well as simply existing, is already exhausting. Managing more admin will just push people closer to/over the edge. The blue badge 1/3

Be warned this is my experience in Bath. Even an exemption doesn’t prevent fines 🤮Sadly @bathnesgreens @bathnesld won’t even respond to emails or tweets let alone do anything to help 💔🤮💔#TakingTheDis #EcoExclusion#EcoAbleism #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs disabilitynewsservice.com/disabled-woman…

He needs putting on suspension while under investigation of his behaviour and understanding of alternative communication, as well as what Deaf and disability CPD has occurred. Mandatory Deaf inclusion training, including on alternative communication, needs to happen. 4/end

to my fiancé for asking to communicate with me. He claimed this was because he had no paper and can't use phones (in 2022), while also failing under the Equality Act 2010 to provide any reasonable adjustments. 3/4

.@telegram Hello! I just wanted to say that I think your new premium speech-to-text feature should be a free feature, because it's a disability access thing and accessibility should not be a premium feature. Thank you.

🧵 In June 2020 my friend Zoe Zaremba ended her life after enduring years of neglect & abusive care from Tees, Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Foundation Trust. At her inquest the coroner found TEWV had breached Zoe's human rights and contributed to her death.1/ researchgate.net/publication/36…

I posted earlier this week about how using deadlines and anxiety as motivators when you have ADHD stops working one day What I didn't mention is the worst part: the anxiety and deadlines don't actually go away, you just can't use them to get yourself to do things anymore.

Processing delays make me more subservient than I’d like. When someone brings up something I’ve done “wrong”, I think for a second, agree with them, feel awful and then apologise. But, an hour later I remember that I did exactly what they asked and wish I could revoke my apology.


Also I’ll never lose an opportunity to remind people that Hans Asperger was a nazi & that’s how we ended up with this distinction.

Many thanks to @NickFletcherMP for his time to meet local #Deaf Community members this afternoon to discuss local #BSL issues - both positive and negatives. Nick is aware of BSL Bill introduced in Parliament so he will discuss more with the Ministers #BSLActNow #SignLanguageAct
