Beyond Selidor

Yeah, accessibility is a big problem, and not just at conventions - although it's weird that conventions should be so bad, since they're normally held in hotels and you'd expect hotels to have provision for disabled guests.

I didn't really notice the depths of the problem until I became good friends with someone who uses a wheelchair, and noticed how few places had step-free access, how few Tube stations in London were accessible, and how every journey this friend made required lots of coordinated and careful planning. It's shameful, and it sends the message that disabled people aren't welcome in certain spaces.
