The [Manchester] museumโs new restrooms donโt just appeal to trans and gender-nonconforming visitors, though, Davies toldย Hyperallergic. They also feature baby-changing spaces and three different types of accessible toilets, including a โChanging Placesโ toilet, equipped with a full-size changing bench and hoist so people with limited mobility can use the restroom or have their continence pad changed.
โBy combining these facilities under the All-Gender Toilets, visitors and families of any combination of disabled, neurodivergent, trans, and nonbinary identities can use the same facilities,โ [Mattie] Davies explained.
ONCE AGAIN LOOKING FOR FEEDBACK FROM WHEELCHAIR USERS! ๐โฟ๐
TL;DR - These are newly proposed blueprints for renovating the basement of an incredibly cool queer/BIPOC-run affordable housing co-op in my city, with the aim of creating an ACCESSIBLE community space and mutual aid hub!
If you have a moment, please take either a quick or a long look at these images, and let me know what stands out to YOU as good/bad/missing/in-need-of-change! Or just let me know what you need in a public space in order to feel welcome, especially as it pertains to wheelchair lifts!
ANY amount of feedback is so, SO appreciated!! โบ๏ธ
More (optional) detail, if you want:
I have one "BEFORE" blueprint, and three updated proposal blueprints for what the space could look like AFTER renovation.
In the long-term, the co-op is planning to install an elevator to serve all 5 floors of the building, including the basement. But in the short-term, with their current funding, the plan is to install a wheelchair lift that goes from outside the first floor, down to the inside of the basement.
The "AFTER" blueprints include widening the hallways by several inches.
I am going to recommend a changing table for the bathroom; ideally, an adult-sized changing table. Idk yet if they can afford to remove the shower that's there now.
I am also going to double-check with the designers that all the proposed door widths are wide enough for a large wheelchair to get through. In this current scale, several openings appear to be too small.
The goal of the community space is to provide a mutual aid hub - providing food, supplies, space to meet, and emergency preparedness for the community!
As teachers, one of the most rewarding parts of our job is helping every student thrive, especially when it comes to something as foundation
btw
Genuinely, if you have dyslexia or another learning disability that affects reading (or if you just generally find reading hard or unpleasant) try setting everything you can to one of these fonts
Evidence strongly suggests that are also easier/faster to read for neurotypicals and non-dyslexic people
Also if you're a student try writing your papers in this and then converting them to the required or standard font at the last second
Also tbh great for writer's block and writing fatigue
Font highlights
1. OpenDyslexic
OpenDyslexic is one of the most well-known dyslexia-friendly fonts for students. Itโs free to download and widely used in schools across the world. The letters are weighted at the bottom, which helps anchor each character to the page, making them less likely to flip or rotate in the readerโs mind. This is especially helpful for students who experience letter reversal or movement while reading.
Teachers whoโve used OpenDyslexic in the classroom often report improved reading stamina and reduced frustration among dyslexic learners. Itโs easy to integrate into worksheets, presentations, and even web browsers, making it a versatile choice for modern classrooms.
Download the font here
Also you can download a browser extension that will change most/all text on the internet to display on your computer in OpenDyslexic. It's completely free and open source (which means it's permanently free). Download links:
For Firefox (this one will also work on Firefox's mobile browser)
For Chrome
For Edge
2. Comic Sans
You laugh but genuinely Comic Sans is the most dyslexia-friendly standard font. (x, x, x, x)
"One thing that can make a big difference for people with dyslexia is the font they read in. Enter Comic Sans, the dyslexia-friendly font. Studies have shown that Comic Sans is easier to read for people with dyslexia because the letters are more distinct and easier to distinguish from each other."
-via DyslexicHelp.org, May 2024
If you can't have fun (and/or inoculate the people around you against the power of cringe), the other best standard font when it comes to dyslexia and accessibility generally seems to be Arial
Also there's a list of much more subtle and adult/professional/formal looking fonts at the first link!! Several of which are free and open source!!
EDIT: this post is out of date. The current version can be found here.
TL;DR - Any kind of feedback you can provide regarding what YOU want and don't want from a wheelchair lift experience would be super helpful!! -- AND/OR, I'd also appreciate any input you might have about what a community space would have to be like in order to be inviting and welcoming to you!
Any input - small or extensive, general or specific - would be SO appreciated!! I'm hoping to deliver this feedback in the next couple days.
More info under the cut:
Hi, y'all! So I've been doing some work for this really awesome co-op project that has managed to purchase a small apartment building in our city, with the goal of providing our community with affordable housing, emergency preparedness, and an accessible community space!
Currently, the building is NOT wheelchair accessible, but they are seeking to rectify that issue, starting with the community gathering space in the basement. Funding is tight, so they really only have one chance at getting this right.
In the long-term when they have way more money, they aim to have full building accessibility, including an elevator.
But in the short-term, the proposed plan is to replace a set of stairs going down to the basement from the outside with an enclosed wheelchair lift.
If you check out highlighted yellow parts of the diagram below, it illustrates what the plan is. (Ignore all the other labels in the "BEFORE" part; it was just the best diagram I could find that included the stairs on short notice.)
There has also been some talk about widening all the hallways in the basement, which I plan to voice my strong support for.
Thus far, I am aware that some wheelchair lifts can only be operated from the outside, and that this is stupid. But I imagine there are a LOT of other pitfalls/needs that I'm not catching as a person who does not use a wheelchair! (I am trying to get a motorized chair, actually, but until then, I use a rollator or a cane. I've never used a wheelchair lift.)
Any feedback you could give me would be really appreciated! What should we avoid? What do you wish existed? What does it look like for you to feel comfortable in a space? How can we make this community space accessible for YOU??

it really fucks me off that disabled toilets never have a fucking bag hook. do they not think we carry things? why should i have to put my purse on the fucking grimy floor?? just smack a few hooks on the wall or the back of the door at varying heights, it really cannot be that hard. you can put a hook on 10+ doors no problem, but putting a few in one of your 3 disabled toilets? apparently too much effort.
after all, we all know disabled people donโt carry bags and never go anywhere alone!
hereโs where i had to balance my bag in the disabled toilets of one of my cityโs biggest music venues x
