Brands be like: “Let’s collaborate!” And it’s just them wanting you to join their affiliate program.

Have a Zoom Pro account? Turn on free automatic Captioning to make your meetings a little more accessible. This instructional post by @Franklin_M_Li has well described screenshots for blind folks to follow along and activate the feature as well. franklin-li.medium.com/instr…

The founders of #AccessiBe are interpreting the complacency of nondisabled customers and the bone-deep fatigue of disabled users to mean that a "silent majority" — their actual words — is grateful for and enjoys AccessiBe. Let's not be silent then
Pretty much, as well as citing their silent majority of blind users who approve and "test" their product. I ran into so many issues just going through their example sites alone, I didn't want to give them a fully free audit of how much they were doing wrong.

Leadership at #AccessiBe does not engage communities of disability to find out what we want and need. This company passes off inferior tools as accessible to unwitting customers and investors, and runs ableist blindfold games at team meetings rather than hearing Blind voices

hey if you have members of yr team @ work who are trans, it's a VERY bad idea to ask for photos of everyone as kids, no matter how cute you think your team bonding idea is

New accessibility feature in @ChromeDevTools: simulate vision deficiencies, including blurred vision & various types of color blindness. 🔥 Find out how people with vision deficiencies experience your web app, and resolve contrast issues you didn’t even know you had!

Ever try to code a website without DevTools? Ugh! Being able to see the DOM tree (the HTML) & the CSS cascade is a huge help. We've been wrangling Accessibility without any such tool — until now. Here's a tour of the Firefox Accessibility Inspector: 📺 youtu.be/7mqqgIxX_NU

If Twista can get a live interpreter on stage, I think Dominoes can make their site accessible.
Twista's sign language interpreter hitting every single word he fires off on stage is 10/10 content. She needs a Guinness World Record

Pro-Tip: If you praise somebody at work, don't just let them know, find out who their manager is and let them know as well! They are looking to hear this type of feedback about their reports and your feedback is crucial during performance review time.

Domino’s will ask the Supreme Court to reverse the 9th Circuit decision that their website should be accessible to the blind. In court docs, Domino’s revealed it would’ve cost $38,000 to make it accessible. They’re fighting this. cnbc.com/2019/07/25/dominos-…

Flake is trusting McConnell and Trump to do what he asked regarding re-opening the FBI background check. There is NO evidence that trust is well-placed. None. Flake also tends to do appealing symbolic things and then vote straight party line. There is NO formal agreement.

There’s no reason a man saying “i didn’t rape her” is more credible than a woman saying “he raped me” Except we put greater value on male lives and futures And there u go: patriarchy defined
