I'm a blind entrepreneur. I enjoy Star Trek, roleplay, and educating others. Accessibility is a requirement, not a feature. Views my own.

Thread: Anatomy of a Typical Canadian MAID News Story 🧐 (A Critical Reader's Guide)

Extremely disappointing article. Being blind or def doesn't mean you can't make worthwhile memories.
These parents know their kids will go blind, maybe deaf. They’re making lasting memories now.
“Let them live life to the fullest now in order to create core memories that they’ll have to look back on when their vision starts to go,” she says.

An @uber driver illegally refused to take a group of blind people because one of them had a guide dog, physically assaulting them. When the police were called, he claimed that one of them, a Muslim woman, made him feel unsafe. She was almost shot nfb.org/images/nfb/publicati…

Y’all gotta stop saying “are you deaf”, “are you blind”, and “can you read” as insults. It’s extremely ableist and treats deafness, blindness, and illiteracy as some sort of failure or burden.

Corporate twee is an accessibility issue.
A double helping of insidious corporate twee at Euston station. Haha look how cute, the escalator is broken 😅 use the lift! Oh ahaha how cute that’s broken too 🥲
ALT A pink sign at the bottom of an escalator saying “This escalator is refusing to escalate; this has been escalated to the engineer who is on their way up (or down) to check it out, please use the lift.
ALT A green sign outside a broken lift saying “I’m out of order I know. I just can’t give you the lift you need today. Although a lift engineer has been called to lift me up. I’m sure you have days like this too”

Another tale of a man reaching down to touch the dog who was lying between my feet as I stood waiting for my friend. “I just wanted to stroke him because he’s such a good boy” he said in protest after I very abruptly told him to get his hands off my medical equipment.

🐾 @guidedogs on duty! 💼 While my mummy is hard at work on her laptop, I've decided to take on the crucial role of "moral support snuggler." Sometimes, all you need is a fluffy reminder that you're not alone in the daily grind! 🦮.
ALT The picture shows a black Labrador dog laying on a speckled beige floor, looking up with a gentle and attentive expression. The dog's eyes are brown and soulful, and its coat appears well-groomed and shiny. In the foreground, there's a wooden structure, possibly a piece of furniture, with a visible wooden peg. The lighting in the room is natural, suggesting it might be daytime.

X-Ray tech to me a wheelchair user:
Tech: “Can you walk?”
Me: “No.”
Tech: “Can you stand?”
Me: “No.”
Tech: “Well that’s a problem. I don’t know how you’re going to get up on the table.”
The problem is not the disabled person.
The problem is the inaccessibility of exam tables.

Job hunting is painful for everyone. I'm blind, so sometimes need adjustments to be made to recruitment activities in order to make them accessible. Multiple HR departments have ghosted me when I've asked for this, preventing me from applying. It's illegal but it happens.

One of the hardest things to do in any relationship is to admit to yourself when it's time to end it for your own safety, happiness, and future growth.

Abusive people will attempt to miscast your boundaries as grudges. Boundaries are the sensible shields you establish after learning damaging patterns. Boundaries represent growth and introspection. Grudges are static. Build, update, and maintain your boundaries regularly.
