People with disabilities and their organisations are still largely shut off from the climate conversation.

Ahead of #COP30, we explored how climate organisations and disability advocates can work together.

What happens to disability rights in a backsliding democracy?

We can learn from countries who have been down that path already.

Gabor @petrigoh.bsky.social shares his own experience and research from Central and Eastern Europe.

Following this super interesting (and important) conference, that unfortunately is not accessible (once again). Apparently disabled people are not affected by climate change... #NoOneLeftBehind

Our Glossary breaks it down. From computing to cryptography.

It also shows how Europe is leading the way with the Quantum Europe Strategy to build a quantum-powered future.

Europe is ready to make the quantum leap. Are you?

Amazing read by @halberto1980.bsky.social. Thinking of these issues very often...
I wrote for the Disability Debrief on where disability organising is headed—and where it feels stuck. About professionalisation and the growing distance between movements and the people we claim to represent. www.disabilitydebrief.org/debrief/want...

Things I keep after the 2 #Eurovision2025 semifinals:
-My top3 are #Greece, #Germany & #Estonia (very different songs, for all moods)
-It's very hard to predict the winner this time
-I don't like any of the favorites
-Overall the quality is worse than previous years
