Flickr photo pool
I just found this Flickr photo pool: Access denied!
Some of the photos have descriptions. Many of them are of blocked sidewalks, people parking in front of curb cuts, or other places that are supposed to be accessible but are made inaccessible by people's actions. A few of the photos are of disability rights demonstrations in the UK for better public transport. One photo is of a wheelchair user at the top of a staircase that descends to the London Underground. One photo is of a wheelchair user reaching up to eat fast food off a table that is clearly too high; it's designed for standing people or people sitting on high stools. Taken as a group these photos have quite an impact.

Calling people who block entrances "r*tarded" is supposed to further disability rights?
