@RachelCDailey @stomababe I’d suggest definitely folks who are journalists or activists?

@Col8712 @AliArthPainter @stomababe I’m difficult to get lost as my brain has retained my ability to generate internal maps, I ace those spacial reasoning tests and so on. Tend not to burn things but I always time cooking but has to be all together so tends to be sausage sandwiches or similar.

@Col8712 @AliArthPainter @stomababe If it’s a mobility aspect fair enough yes, I was told that to be careful by the charity filling in my pip and mortgage as I can chat away and sound able which hides that I can’t cook/run the house, and have lost significant weight since my wife’s death.

@AliArthPainter @stomababe Oops I’ve lost my ability to read intent and so on, ie jokes often just pass me by!

@RoseUnwin I’d treat them with great cynicism! If Farage got hold of the Tory part aka like Trump and the Republican Party then that’s different but building a party up, taken years to get to that point, and that’s with wall to wall coverage of Farage on tv, and sure Labour victory.

@CaraLisette @WillReidWeb Does sound like something that should be reported? If you haven’t already.

@AliArthPainter @stomababe Maybe it’s not physical? I’m physically fit I’d not cope with a 10 mile hike admittedly though long bike rides I do like, and cope well with. But for me it’s all about the brain, I can’t cook a meal from scratch or much at all as I struggle with memory and cognition

@stomababe Sometimes finding one’s people is just lovely! Not that I do much campaigning though did get to visit Parliament for a brain injury event it did take multiple days to feel human again after that! And some people and things are just fun/interesting

@DrAnnieHickox @LinkedInUK Closed it few years ago didn’t see much use it in for my uses, ie work is a small part of my life two days per week in fact nor likely to change.

@HFBryant43476 @Shrink_at_Large @AliArthPainter That they are not isn’t largely that they can’t or it’s expensive but well it’s just not though about hence random steps and so on in public places. Are there places that wheelchair access is difficult/expensive sure but plenty that isn’t.

@HFBryant43476 @Shrink_at_Large @AliArthPainter Well yes, my point being that, a ramp or lift or disabled loo are hardly difficult or new technology, other disabilities will be more complicated so the reasonable adjustments comes more into play and all that.

@flowergirl_lon Having said that, as I can’t use the tube or at least once it’s underground, it provides via Waterloo east a fairly painless way to get to Tower of London area, so it’s location is useful even if if it does cost me spoons as you where.

@daniellloyd1 I think Si answer was fairly on the money, particularly off road which tends to be less performance focused at least for non pros and more fun focused? Which I think is one of the reasons roadies like it, it’s less competitive in that regard.

@DrAnnieHickox @niwroffyc Ouch that I’m sure is painful, I was clumsy or at least I dropped stuff and broke a few things for the first year or so after the brain injury probably exhaustion I’m rather better at fatigue management now ie saying no to stuff!

@DrAnnieHickox @niwroffyc In the nothing new in the world view within Dyslexic circles the “Gift” narrative comes and goes with time.

@CaraLisette @adamfare1996 Sorry what? Are men really looking up women on the internet work places as that’s not stalking behaviour!

@petitecycliste Possibly look in console for anything that stands out for why it rebooted, did it get too hot potentially? I’d assume you’ve rebooted again?
