The second (and final) of these free training sessions on our street accessibility tool is tomorrow. The first went really well and it was great to hear from City of London officers how its use changed aspects of Bank Junction. Details in the thread if you want to come along👇

This street accessibility training is tomorrow but there are still a few places if you want to come. Also the tool is now at its permanent home on the @transportforall.org.uk website: www.transportforall.org.uk/tess/

We’re running free training in how to use our new improved street accessibility tool at the Guildhall in London this Friday and next Tuesday. It’ll include a case study on how it was used at Bank Junction. Open to anyone who works in street design. More details in the thread.👇

I made a new thing 🧵 Working with @transportforall.org.uk we have built an even better spreadsheet for analysing streets (actual or being designed) and showing their likely accessibility for different disabled people. It’s free to download and use www.rossatkin.com/wp/?portfoli...

@genmon.fyi loved reading your last update on the Poem/1 and really excited about hearing about your trip to Shenzhen… please please please do a video! Here’s mine from 2018 youtu.be/u4_Vf_uyrtM?...

Making tactile models of various street design features @johnstreetdales.bsky.social, a collage of his and I found around the UK to use in interviews with disabled people. Here’s all the mini tactile paving!

The best way to reduce PIP (Personal Independence Payments) to disabled people would be to make personal independence easier by improving transport accessibility:
🏘️ improving the accessibility of our streets
🚉 Sorting out level boarding on trains
🚌 Improving bus accessibility, frequency and speeds

@garius.bsky.social The 4yo and I made a little knight out of Fimo and he came out looking remarkably like you

Happy Christmas everyone! From me and Santabot youtu.be/eAfpgoNrdkI?...

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! Here’s the Crafty Robot Fizzbit Football video which I think is 10 years old today youtu.be/MQbUhjWJqxM?...

I’m as big a fan of the Feast of the Unconquered Sun as anyone but I still feel it would be better if Christmas was a few weeks into Jan - Not enough dark evenings to sit indoors feeling cozy whittling elves and writing cards and are too many in Jan and Feb when there’s no point making an elf.

I made a lot of whatever these* are to go in party bags for the 4yo’s birthday.

*Designed iteratively over the last few months with both kids on paper and in Fimo because none of us can draw horses.

The lovely folks at the V&A Museum asked me to design an activity for kids (and their parents) that tied in with their 'Tropical Modernism' exhibition and had a digital component. It's running every Wed/Thur/Fri in the main museum. I went to do it yesterday with the 6yo and 3yo 🧵
