I spent the past week in Burlington with my cousin Hisham and his friends, who are recovering after being shot. While I was praying for a better outcome, Hisham’s injury turned out to be life-altering. The bullet lodged in his spine has caused paralysis from the chest down. Hisham has a long journey ahead. To help Hisham prepare for this next phase of his life we started a GoFund me page (gofund.me/026fa8da). Witnessing Hisham dealing with this with absolute grace has been mind blowing for me, and I think with your support he’s gonna make the impossible possible.

Makes me hopeful seeing Meta’s AI wearables helping make technology more accessible and useful for people living with disabilities: >New AI glasses features are designed to be more intuitive and hands-free for people who are blind, low vision, or have mobility disabilities. >Be My Eyes integration is expanding, letting users start hands-free video calls with trusted contacts or trained support reps from brands like Tesco, Sony, Amtrak and Hilton. >New voice controls will make it easier to manage calls across WhatsApp, Messenger, Instagram and Be My Eyes without touching a phone or frames. >Real-time captions on Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses can help make calls more accessible in noisy or busy environments. >The Meta Wearables Device Access Toolkit is enabling developers to build third-party assistive apps, including tools like OOrion and Aira for real-time visual assistance. >Meta is also exploring EMG through the Meta Neural Band to help people with spinal cord injuries control digital devices through subtle muscle signals.
Today, ahead of Global Accessibility Awareness Day, we’re rolling out new features on our AI glasses designed to be more intuitive and hands-free — updates that make the technology more accessible to people across diverse communities, including those who are blind or low vision, or those with mobility disabilities. about.fb.com/news/2026/05/me…

Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed. Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us — one of home, tradition and memory over generations.

my friends who talk a lot, this is perfect for you
Today we’re introducing Meta AI Voice Conversations powered by Muse Spark that let you talk naturally to Meta AI (interrupt, switch topics, or swap languages), and as you talk, Meta AI can generate images and pull up recommendations from Reels, maps, and more. We’re also bringing live AI to the app, so you can point your camera at the world and ask about what you’re seeing in real time. about.fb.com/news/2026/04/in…
