In the last chapter of Alice’s memoir, “Year of the Tiger,” she wrote her own future obituary.

The wonderful “oracle, storyteller, cyborg, trouble-maker, activist, night owl” we loved so much closed it with:

“Enjoy all of Alice’s good shit, and may you create some good shit as well.”

#BBCQT disabled people want to work. believe me, we do. if we are able to, we want to. but no party is mandating accessibility in the workplace. the issue is not our health, not our disabilities, but the lack of physical, environmental, attitudinal adjustments DESPITE LEGAL OBLIGATION.

The reason the BBC works is that it hardly has to think about commercial interests or catering to a certain specific audience (aka affluent subscription users).

The people who should know this but don’t is really concerning.

Reason the BBC works is its universality. If you replace that with a subscription, it is gone forever.

#TheHack
70% of hacking victims were not famous. They were ordinary people. Victims of crime, terror, other newsworthy incidents.
This was never about celebrities.

Ok I admit it my mum took a paracetamol when she was pregnant with me bc she was getting a headache from my dad info dumping about trains

Whether it’s paracetamol or something else, Trump and co are perpetuating the idea autism is wrong and disability is an individual’s responsibility to avoid. It’s anti-science but it’s deeply ableist at its core. The goal is for non-disabled to be afraid and disabled people to be ashamed.
