Why is the
@BernieSanders#disability plan so good? Let's go over some of the highlights. Because trust me, I'd be a lot less openly enthused if this were a bad plan. (THREAD) 1/?Prikaži ovu nit -
Them: don't be defined by your
#Disability. Me: bitch, why? Being#disabled defines my entire fucking existence; where I live, where I work, where & how I socialise...& even if I made a full recovery, my experiences as a#wheelchair user will stay with me for the rest of my life. -
"I summon every bit of cheeriness, chirpiness, ask about their days. I’m nice. As if the politeness of my personality will offset the costs of my body." A devastating, must read article from

“I can walk but I can’t walk very far…I can stand, just not for very long… Limited as my mobility is, I’m still made to feel like a faker. I don’t look sick enough. I don’t look
#disabled enough. I’m too young.” https://buff.ly/2TY7EPe#disability#chronicpain#invisibleillness -

@Jeopardy tonight: “Haben Girma, who advocates for disability rights, was the first Deafblind person to graduate from this law school.” What a great clue, and#disability representation, too! -
Young people are blimmin' awesome. So are
#disabled people. Given this seems to be blowing up, I should probably suggest you check out my TED talk on the awesomeness of disabled people. I crack#disability jokes and everything.#RollModelhttps://www.ted.com/talks/hannah_barham_brown_disability_and_work_let_s_stop_wasting_talent?language=en …Prikaži ovu nit -

The plan talks up issues that are often unknown outside of the
#Disability community. E.g. The marriage penalty with SSA, and the privatization of Medicare services in Iowa.Prikaži ovu nit -
Now I am angry. So so angry.

So, wanting a positive twist to this discussion, I think the film & TV industry can start to increase the representation of
#disABILITY by signing up to#DisABILITY Confident AND IMPLEMTING IT! This voluntary scheme aims to help employers employ#disABLED people.#thinkINCpic.twitter.com/aPzrcBJjxI

Join me tomorrow where I’ll be discussing the OTHER area of under-representation in
#film - the ones Rebel Wilson, Prince William and Joaquin Phoenix neglected to mention. What steps@BFI are taking to address#disability at#BustTheBias and how can our allies follow suit. -
I think
#disABILITY representation is very much lacking in film and TV. If 20% of the population have a#disABILITY, this figure should be reflected in numbers in the profession, both on and off screen. A 2019 report found the figure was less than 3%!#thinkINC#disABILITY pic.twitter.com/7nZ40UJsPz -
Hey
@metlinkwgtn, there was just a radio interview on@morefmradio about you guys handing out “Child” tickets to people with#disability. I know it’s easier for you to call us children, but please stop. I’ll have a child-like tantrum

Why is
@ucl refusing to comply with its legal obligations re reasonable adjustments for disabled students? Why is UCL evasive when students ask for meetings? Does UCL care about its students?#DisabilityRights#disability@DSN_UCL's report: https://studentsunionucl.org/sites/uclu.org/files/u318399/documents/appendix_e_response_to_flagging_responsibilities_3.pdf … -
“Pain patients are routinely being abandoned relegating them to a life of agony,
#disability, and sometimes suicide when untreated pain becomes intolerable… The primary cause…unproven or outright erroneous assumptions—not rigorous medical evidence.” https://buff.ly/31geocR#cpp -
I have admired
@HannahPopsy resilience & determination to campaign for a better & more inclusive/accessible transport system for all. Thank you for all you’ve done. You have inspired me to take up the fight as well :)#Disability#Travel#PublicTransport -
Listening to Newstalk. Just heard reporter say "continue to lead productive lives" when talking about
#disability. It struck me. Is this an example of why the PROFOUNDLY disabled people's needs are so overlooked - Because the life they can lead isn't considered *productive*?
