“A world in which we, as blind or partially sighted people, can participate fully in any aspect of life we choose.” - that is our mission, our calling, WBU @BlindUnion

I am once again warning you all that I am this close 🤏🏼 to opening a gym that centers disabled and trans people’s needs with wheelchair-friendly machines, no loud music, soft overhead lights, individual shower rooms, fat-positive trainers, and classes led by drag queens.

Heute ist Welt-Braille-Tag: Am 4. Januar 1809 wurde Louis Braille geboren. Im Alter von nur 16 Jahren erfand er die Blindenschrift, die deshalb auch "Brailleschrift" genannt wird. Mehr zum Tag lesen Sie auch hier: dbsv.org/blindenschrift.html #Braille

Was machen #Inklusionsbeauftragte? Sie sind vom #Arbeitgeber dazu bestellt, ihn in Angelegenheiten der (schwer-)#behinderten Mitarbeitenden verantwortlich zu vertreten. Wir bieten Inklusionsbeaufragten ein Austauschforum - und teilen Strategien aus der Praxis für die Praxis.🎯💪
ALT Man sieht ein Puzzle: Auf einem Stück in der Mitte steht: "Inklusionsbeauftragter", andere Puzzleteile sind beschrieben mit: einbinden, gemeinsam, teilhaben, Respekt, Integration, Inklusion."

Not all blind people use screen readers and not all users of screen readers are blind. Blindness is not a binary. Low vision is also a thing. PDFs are not accessible to many low vision users. No matter how you make them or how well they are supported.

Disabled people don’t want access designed by nondisabled people.
The first rule of access must be to consult with and follow the lead of disabled people.

Did you know that all public sector websites must provide contact information for users to report any accessibility issues they may encounter? Check the accessibility statement and provide constructive feedback to your local government! #EUDiversityMonth #inclusion #accessibility

A year ago, a non-academic friend listened to a talk I gave. I thought it went great. My friend disagreed.
She said that academics are experts at making interesting stuff boring—and that we should all take a speech class.
So I did. And here are 6 most useful things I learned.

Here is the classic example of ‘Deaf Gain’. The Deaf community found out who is the winner of the Best Supporting Actor a couple of seconds before non-signers because Youn Yuh-Jung tried to say congratulations in sign language! Let’s celebrate! #oscars #Oscars2022 #deafgain

"Should every designer be responsible for accessibility, or should we have accessibility designers?"
All designers are responsible for accessibility, yes, but there is a LOT of value in having designers specializing in accessibility.
NOT an OR question. Both. You need both.

Have been looking at a lot of web and mobile trainings last couple weeks. I was curious if #Accessibility was apart of any of them, and for most part it was no. Most of these are fundamentals courses, which leads me to this question. How does #A11y not belong in fundamentals?!?!
