Right, the Sia thing has royally pissed me off. Here is a list for fellow non-disabled people - writers, creatives, performers, media professionals, consultants and rights advocates from the disability community to follow, listen to and keep in mind for upcoming projects:
Also some orgs and publications, some of which are linked to the individuals listed in previous tweet: @TheUnwrittenPub @the_dailydis @DisVisibility @Limping_Chicken @UniAtypical @Respect_Ability @104Films @PosAbilityMag @NewMobilityMag @RootedInRights
Anyone from the community who feels like adding to this list please, please do. As an able-bodied person myself I still have a lot to learn, so anyone with better knowledge/connections and lived experience feel free to add!
It is deeply frustrating as a non-disabled person to see the conversation go round and round in circles because other non-disabled ppl have already made up their minds about the definition of representation and inclusion.
The best thing we can do as non-disabled people is listen, learn and promote the good work being done. Finally, thanks to @TownTattle for sharing with me this incredible short film called In My Language which I think Sia could stand to learn something from
And finally finally, a big shout out to my pal @EllaBee24 who does wheelchair workouts! She started them in the first lockdown and I'm sure they'll be a tonic for many in this second one: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPSgdS1UDK6Hcv0ZneodW0A

How could I forget my favourite ASMRtist, @YvetteASMR! She does incredible realistic medical ASMR videos, including ones oriented around chronic pain, something I have no experience of, but I imagine this kind of ASMR could be quite comforting for ✨ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHyz6PkHoW0c-qGDVR-Wubg
