Hi. I'm a wheelchair user into science, history, nature, books, cats and disability rights.

I always win at musical chairs.
Surely one for @trouteyes.bsky.social

This International Day of Disabled People, DR UK's Mikey Erhardt wrote for @bigissue.com about life for Disabled people in the UK over the last year, as well as the successes of Disabled activism and our demands for the upcoming year.

The UK must change for disabled people in 2025 – so we can live lives we deserve
This year saw further decline of living standards for disabled people and a repeated government focus on cutting social security spending.

"That there London".
Day 3 of our #adventcalendar and it's all about keeping up with the Joneses.

See the vertical oak cladding? That was added after the Hall was finished. The reason?

Merchants had seen this trendy cladding down south and if it's good enough in that there London, it's good enough for York!

Attention all citizens of the blue place. The Pitt Rivers Museum is here.
Looking forward to keeping you up to date with what is going on in the Pitt Rivers and hearing what everyone else is up to, starting with views of the museum looking particularly lovely at last week's ALOHA Late Night featuring fishponds & feather cloaks, hula & The Hobbit - an amazing evening!

Today marks the beginning of UK Disability History Month💥

For us, this is an opportunity to look back on our long struggle for autonomy, against paternalism and pity.

How could we not start with the Disabled People's Direct Action Network (DAN)?

Whilst I’m not leaving X as yet, I would very much like to spend more time here.

So, if you see this and you’d be kind enough to share it to let readers find me, that would be greatly appreciated. Hi!

Hi everyone. Let's make this place a truly inclusive welcoming place to all.

Please, please use the alt txt function.

There are lots of blind people on here who would love to "see" your photos.

It encourages involvement, fun and ultimately success of this app.

Thanks.
Hey new users— we’ve been trying to build a strong culture of expecting alt text. Take it from me, because I’ve heard from them: there are blind people on this app and they appreciate being included. You can also turn on a setting that prevents you from posting images without it, if you forget

It was my birthday recently. My mum & dad bought me this as it was one of my favourite toys in the 1970s.
