Today (July 19th) is Changing Places awareness day!

What is a changing places toilet?
A changing places toilet is a toilet which can be used by disabled people like me who can’t use a standard accessible toilet. This may be because someone needs extra equipment, and/or room for carers to help them. The main features of the changing places toilet are:
- Lots of room! Changing places toilet must be at least 12 square metres. This means that there is plenty of room for a wheelchair user to turn around as well as room for up to 2 carers.
- A peninsular toilet! This is a toilet which has enough room on each side were wheelchair to be positioned for transferring. As with standard accessible toilet there are grab rails on each side.
- Accessible washbasin! The washbasin must have room underneath for a wheelchair user. An adjustable height washbasin is preferred.
- A ceiling hoist! This allows people who cannot transfer independently to be able to safely get out of their wheelchair. A person brings their own sling which is hooked onto the hoist allowing them to be lifted.
- An adult size changing table! This allows people need help with undressing to use the toilet, or help changing incontinence pads to have their needs met safely and with dignity. Without a changing table, many people have to resort to lying on the toilet floor to change their pads which is unsafe, undignified and unhygienic.
Why raise awareness?
The lack of changing places toilet means it’s hard for disabled people like me to leave the house. It’s limits our ability to socialise, access work/education, exercise, travel, and even attend hospital appointments. (In the UK there are only 93 hospitals with a registered changing places toilet).
I have to plan my entire life around the few changing places toilet that exist, which massively shrinks my world. It’s incredibly difficult for me to travel (less than 2% of train stations in the UK have a changing places toilet), go days out, visit the hospital, and otherwise experience the world outside my house. Hopefully one day every event like Pride or music festivals will have a mobile changing places toilet, and there will be public changing places toilet with 24/7 access in every town, as well as changing places toilets in public buildings like leisure centres, libraries, museums, cinemas, tourist attractions and shopping centres.
More info including what you can do to help the UK campaigns for more changing places toilets can be found at changing-places.org
i was interested to learn more about changing places outside of the UK, and i found, from what looks like the same organization, this international map + this Florida/Georgia/Alabama project to install more, in case anyone is in the same area and would like to learn! we apparently only have one in my city, seven in my state, which is absolutely not enough to let people go about their days freely.

radarsteddy asked:
Rewatching DS9 with a park, he’s never seen it before. We are watching In The Hands of the Profits. Winn was such a wonderfully horrible character and my friend already hated her two scenes in. Had you and the other writers sketch her personality in, or did you come up with her horrible personality yourself? One of my favourite characters to hate on tv. Deliciously awful.
writergeekrhw answered:
I pretty much came up with how Winn speaks and acts. I based her on one of the more horrible nuns that taught at my grammar school crossed with a friend’s fanatical Fundamentalist Christian mom. They were both terrible, judgmental people who talked oh so sweetly.
But the truth is, I wanted someone outwardly sweet as pie to play her. My ideal casting was Sandy Duncan. Someone you couldn’t imagine as evil, so it would take listening to her words and paying attention to her actions to realize how vile she actually was.
And then Ira and Michael decided to cast Louise, who was one of the nicest, classiest women around but was also someone who could just radiate evil for a performance when she wanted to. So while she wasn’t my original idea, obviously she was spectacular and added another whole level of bad to the character.
It was a match made in the Fire Caves!
