This family bar in Blackpool with combined use accessible/baby change facilties (good enough) with a demeaningly specific label on the sanitary bin (not so good). #EverydayAbleism

This otherwise lovely chip shop in Blackpool who didn't think it was necessary to put a lock of any kind on the accessible toilet door. #EverydayAbleism

The Czech metal fans at Masters of Rock who:
-Told me Jesus still loves me
-Looked at me like I had the audacity to be outdoors and crippled

-Bought me pity pints (don't hate that, don't love that)
