A social media post pulls together a number of false claims on HIV/AIDS and vaccines. The smallpox and Covid vaccines don’t cause HIV–and Dr Anthony Fauci wasn’t “the man who gave us AIDS”. buff.ly/3Db6ZPC

It’s not just about tickets. Staff at ticket offices are the first point of contact for disabled people arriving at stations who require assistance. They provide information, unlock station facilities, and have a profound impact on safety and security. #NotJustTheTicket

Tonight on @itvlondon we'll be talking to the masterminds behind the Black Plaque Project. The first plaque being put up in the capital will recognise Winifred Atwell - the pianist and first black woman to have a no.1 single back in 1954. Would love your thoughts @eltonofficial!

Such an odd time to be chronically ill: you’re more restricted than ever but also life has never been more accessible. Remote working is the norm. Friends groupchat. Musicians stream concerts. Media give tips on isolation. Suddenly everyone‘s housebound and the world has adapted.

On it. Xx
Please remember that lots of people are sanctioned or awaiting the results of an ESA or PIP appeal. Thousands of people have no money at all. @DWP needs to immediately lift all sanctions and reinstate ESA and PIP payments #coronavirus #COVID19 @Debbie_abrahams

Disabled journalists who hold the government to account over coronavirus now told we don’t deserve ventilation if we get the virus. Word to fascists: I’m more productive in my sleep than you could manage at your best. But even if we weren’t, we’d each still deserve to live.
