Bringing out stuff to someone who can't access your store doesn't make you accessible. Also, if all businesses could have access statements on your website, I'd know if I can/I'd want to spend money when I get there.

Going to a coffeeshop and seeing someone else working on their book doesn't count as a writing session for you. I checked.

As I sat in the hallway of my kid's school today, I'm grateful she's a theatre kid and hasn't asked to bring a musical intrument home.

‘Mum, I liked that stranger who called you ‘the lady’ instead of ‘the wheelchair.’ ‘Yeah, me too.’ Ableists, our families (and your families) hear the words you use.

Writing and typing ground me in different ways. Sometimes, I need to write and sometimes I need to type. Today is a No. 2 pencil day.

Everything: Take a walk and clear your mind. Me, a wheelchair-user: I will not and I like clutter.

Out today and the kid saw a wheelchair sign. ♿️ ‘Why’s the wheelchair-user sitting on the moon?’ She asked. ‘It’s stylistic,’ I said. ‘If they put a real one like mine up there, it would be too much paint or tape or money.’

If you're looking for companies to boycott and/or yell at, these are good ones. Just straight up evil.

If you're trying to figure out what to do right now, my advice is to just pick a thing that you think might be useful in some way, however small, and do it. Doing a thing leads you to doing another, bigger thing, and prepares you for that next thing.

The Kid went to her Drama group as her British-Australian cousin Clarissa. She doesn't have a cousin Clarissa. And I'm a good person because when she presented me with her idea I stopped myself from saying, 'You don't have a cousin Paddy.'

I just discovered my voicemails get transcribed as text messages, but the text is the opposite of the voicemail. Context is everything.

When a place is described as ‘cozy’ or ‘cosy’ it’s a sneaky way to say it’s inaccessible, please go away.

I’m seeing a lot of people frame the threat to the 504 only in terms of affecting education and kids with IEPs. It affects EVERYONE. From curb cuts to access to government buildings to sign language interpreters in disasters to accessible medical facilities, it is a civil rights threat to ALL.

It still makes me sad that companies/individuals, publishers included, on here that talk about inclusion and diversity as a part of their ethos fail to include alt text for their images
