Just some questions to consider when writing the Accessibility notes for your event or your venue!

white text on a blue background, with an icon of a person in a wheelchair beside the heading "accessibility at your events".

the body text reads, "Some things to consider adding to your Accessibility section for your event and/or your venue, from a disabled man.

“The venue is semi-wheelchair accessible” is a good place to start, but when planning a night out, more information is better than less!

Accessibility is the most basic thing I look for in a venue, especially for events."

$white text on a blue background, with an icon of a cane beside the heading "accessibility at your events". Firstly, not all wheelchairs look the same. Motorised and power chairs might be wider, longer, or heavier than lighter chars without a motor - these chairs may need more space to go through doorways. Secondly, wheelchair-users are only a fraction of disabled people who may have additional access requirements - some people use canes, crutches, frames, rollators. Some may be photosensitive or use hearing aids, etc.$

Journalists can report stories about SpaceX without doing PR for the company or for Elon Musk.

I hope people remember that the @nytimes.com has actively worked to try to sabotage Mamdani at almost every single turn. ACTIVELY. They've been the NY Post.

I'm seeing friends go back in the closet and my heart hurts for them. They shouldn't need to do this. This is so awful. Queer and trans people are always made to choose between safety and freedom. We deserve both, but many of us get neither. I ache for my people.

I am seeing a lot of people reposting Lakota Man today bc it's Indigenous Peoples Day. A reminder that he is not well liked amongst many (most?) Natives on social media. Many of us blocked him a long time ago. Some of the reasons why are in this article.

Who is LakotaMan, the user behind one of the most popular Native American accounts on X?

John Martin is adored by white X users—but infamous among Native and Indigenous communities.

One and a half buttcheeks fell victims to a horny hungry cannibal.

A digital doodle of Hannibal on his knees, he's drawn with a very big head and with a smile on his face. His cheek is bulging cartoonishly, as he's munching on a big piece of Will's ass. Besides him stands Will, he's giving his back to the viewer but has his head turned to regard the viewer. A big chunk of Will's ass is missing in a cartoony cut of what a bite mark would leave behind.

Charcoal drawing of an anglerfish in darkness, its esca illuminating dark eyes and sharp teeth.

Somber digital painting of a jellyfish-ticklike creature drifting across a desolate wasteland. It is accompanied by dragonflies.

Colorful but eerie digital painting of a enormous, bright explosion on a planetary surface. Three strange alien-looking vessels are escaping the scene.

Look at all these assholes.

Kit Harington as Professor Lockhart, Keira Knightley as Professor Umbridge, Iwan Rheon as Professor Lupin, Ruth Wilson as Bellatrix Lestrange, Ambika Mod as Nymphadora Tonks, Leo Woodall as Bill Weasley, Simon Pegg as Arthur Weasley, James McAvoy as Mad-Eye Moody, Gemma Whelan as Professor Sprout, and Matt Berry as Sir Cadogan. Pictures of actors who value a paycheck more than being ethical and avoiding JKR’s TERF empire.

There’s literally no way to wear a traditional kimono correctly and show massive amounts of cleavage. Those guys are definitely barking up the wrong cultural/historical tree for boobage.
