qjusttheletter:blackness-by-your-side:This is very importantmake! your! posts! about! accessibility! accessible! [ID: 7 tweets from eleanor wheeler @elliewheels: 1. queer disabled people exist and we deserve the same access and safety in the queer community as abled queer people. photo attached to the tweet is of a white wheelchair user with a wheelguard painted rainbow, with “make pride accessible” in black.2. accessibility is not just an inconvenience, it can be extremely dangerous and harmful to disabled people. 3. I’m grateful I got to go the [sic] pride, I just wish I weren’t paying for abled ppls oversight and disregard for disabled ppls safety. 4. all it take is listening to disabled ppl. there should always be disabled ppl on planning committees to ensure safety oversights won’t happen5. I am often barred from the queer community because of total disregard for accessibility and it sucks. 6. I have every right to the access and safety to queer spaces and pride as any abled queer person does. 7. I just wish the queer community cared more about queer disabled people and fought for us to have our space in the community.] -- source link
