If I have to email event organizers to ask for accessibility info, it means I have to ask, "am I welcome?" Consider how it feels to have to do that, knowing the majority of the time, the answer is "no." Give access info up front. Don't make disabled people beg for inclusion.

the web is where people’s lives happen. they complete important tasks; they work; they spend time in community. when we make the web inaccessible, when we allow harmful behavior to thrive, we tell vulnerable people that they do not deserve community. i refuse to accept that.

I cannot say this enough. If you code for the #WordPress block editor, USE the block editor. Learn how it works, how it communicates with the user. Learn how CORE works, without any added stuff. Here's why – a thread 🧵

the easiest way to be an ‘ally’ to the disabled community right now is to wear a mask—even when you’re the only one in the room doing it. if it feels awkward, imagine how awkward it is to care more about what other people think than actual lives 🤷

I have a tech rant in me (who's surprised) and I'm using current ao3 💿🐴 as a tangent diving board about how modern technology and the way we interact with it feeds a certain "learned helplessness" - and how we can only relate to technology as consumers

I don't want 'a11y'; I want disability justice, for all disabled people, in all environments. An accessible web would be an expression of that justice. To get there, we have to understand the systems that got us *here*, which tech is so desperate to not consider.

We can do this. We can keep people in their homes, we can stabilize communities and prevent displacement, and we can create good-paying jobs in a growing industry while we do it. It’s time to make #WholeHomeRepairs a reality.

masks on planes are not the linchpin masks in general isnt the linchpin nothing is the linchpin! everything works some, and together things work better and, every step away from mitigation makes it worse and puts us farther and farther behind the eight ball
Bizarre number of people who seem to have been under the impression that masks on planes was the linchpin keeping our entire covid strategy working, as if (1) it was actually being adhered to and (2) we have had any meaningful covid policy since summer 2020

When people ask me whether I'd go for bionic vision if it were an option, it's a complex question to answer. However, it never occurred to me that the tech could just stop working with no hope of a fix. Their Bionic Eyes Are Now Obsolete and Unsupported spectrum.ieee.org/bionic-eye…
