Penny sits in front of her Living Archive and books for sale, which are on white shelving behind her to the left. The books we can see are Desires Reborn - a pink paperback with white lettering and a faint image of a disabled couple embracing, next to this is the hardback memoir First In The World Somewhere, it is a red cover with bright yellow lettering and white text. In the lower third there is a graphic of lips outlined in black. Below this shelf are many files and other books featuring Penny’s work. On top of the shelving there are two vintage suitcases, to the right of the image there’s a framed picture of Penny’s 1989 seven inch single, a black and white chalk effect image of a seated girl. Below this is another framed picture announcing Penny’s Living Archive. In the centre, Penny sits in her wheelchair. She wears glasses, has red hair, up in a bun and is wearing a headband made of twigs and crystals into the shape of antlers. Penny is wearing a leopard print dress and a cropped, dusky pink cardigan. She is holding a copy of her memoir and smiling. In front of her on a table is an arrangement of her books, flyers and postcards.
Fancy new stories, fresh perspectives rarely heard in fiction? It’s #WorldBookDay so going all out with a cheeky please to say support this #DisabledAuthor -and the many of us working to get the untold stories out there. Google me and see :) #WriterLife #DisabilityRepresentation #ThoughtfulThursday

Two disabled people on a train station platform next to a train. Both are wheelchair users. They are smiling and talking. The image is in a jagged frame on a bright red textured background. Yellow arrows wrap around the image. Bold black text on yellow tape says: News! Disabled Person's Railcard.

The best time to start thinking about and talking about making a website accessible is at the very beginning, before any content or code has been written. But the second best time is right now.

Hi @metoffice.gov.uk
In your new app update can I choose to change the accessibility settings?
I'm unable to read white text on a black/grey background for several reasons and I'm struggling to access weather reports and particularly weather warnings.
Many thanks
