I shan’t be reposting the new @NHM_London logo because it gives me a migraine and makes my brain sad and judging by others reactions almost certainly indicates where they didn’t consider accessibility in their design which is super cool considering their public role!

You might want to include in your reply that the Home Office face court action over this, so get your MP to help build pressure!

Happy Disabled Pride Month - Today you can do something to address something horrific happening to disabled asylum seekers in this country, write to your MP and ask them to commission care for those that have been left behind at their most vulnerable.

The site, set up as a standard asylum seeker hotel, has no care workers or nurses there as part of the contract

'This book is about the ableism of access; or, rather, how too concerted a focus on individuals’ access needs distracts from the messier, meaner, and more systemic ways that ableism operates in our world.'
Let's be honest about bad crip feelings: the bad feelings that crips feel and the feelings that cripple us. Take my hand. Hold my arm. Sit on the floor with me. Let's feel bad, together. #CripNegativity is out now. Open access. https://t.co/lYOjKutIHX
