I am so excited. The future is accessible #RightsOnFlights
The first row on airplanes may soon look a bit different — @Delta Flight Products wants to add a wheelchair space there. Today, I was the first wheelchair user at @aix_expo to give it a spin. wheelchairtravel.org/first-l…

Guitarist David Lindley passed away but I didn’t see anyone sharing this incredible performance with Jackson Brown from 1978 doing “Running on Empty.” Amazing. – at Buffalo, NY

I bought a new used accessible van!!!! It took less than an hour for someone to block me in so I can’t get the ramp out. It feels almost like a rite of passage. Anyway here she is!

On behalf of his family, it is with deep and profound sadness that we share the news of Jeff Beck’s passing. After suddenly contracting bacterial meningitis, he peacefully passed away yesterday. His family ask for privacy while they process this tremendous loss.

Scientists at Stanford University have reconstructed this 3D model of how Joseph, the husband of Mary the Mother of Jesus Christ might have looked.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This is a @sketchfab 3D rendering of the actor Andre the Giant.
The unsupported claim is that the image is from Stanford researchers and represents the Biblical Joseph, husband of Mary.

"It is very empowering. I feel very powerful and in control when I am in that puppy. And it is pretty amazing all the places it has taken me," said one activist.

Very sad to hear that Ronnie Hawkins has passed away...it was virtually impossible ever to find anyone who didn't like Ronnie...I spent some great times with him, listening to his stories and experiences...he could always make you howl with laughter.

The wonderful @PamelaPetro2 speaking about Wales and hiraeth - Happy St David's Day!
"I am in between the place I live permanently and the place I flourish best. And that's an uncomfortable spot sometimes," said author Pamela Petro. "That's the place of hiraeth."

I had the great good fortune to be invited to speak about my book The Long Field on CBC’s radio show, Tapestry! Wonderful people and such a happy experience! @LittleToller @anniegarthwaite #hiraeth #wales
Every March 1st is St. David's Day. Today at 2:00 on CBC Radio you can hear an interview with @PamelaPetro2 about her book The Long Field. It's about Wales and a Welsh word: hiraeth, a kind of spiritual longing. I also share some of my thoughts on Wales, hiraeth, and moving on.

A truck is not a speech. A horn is not a voice. An occupation is not a protest. A blockade is not freedom, it blocks the liberty of all. A demand to overthrow a government is not a dialogue. The expression of hatred is not a difference of opinion. A lie is not the truth.

Searching for that festive feeling? I chatted with Mary Hynes about the science of festive emotions, such as Christmas Cheer, and how to banish any lingering 𝘉𝘢𝘩 𝘩𝘶𝘮𝘣𝘶𝘨!
The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear, according to the classic Christmas movie Elf. Olly Robertson @psychollygy has a scientific take on what Christmas cheer is and how to spread it. cbc.ca/listen/live-radio/1-5…

“My colleagues ignored me for a year.” I kick of The Guardian’s week of TV exposés by talking to actors, presenters, and crew about what it’s really like to work in the industry if you’re disabled. Thanks so much to all who spoke to me. theguardian.com/tv-and-radio…
