It doesn’t matter how much you work out, how many vitamins you take, how much sun you get, what kind of food you eat, YOU CAN BECOME DISABLED. Immunity to disability doesn’t exist. It’s the only minority group you can join at any point in time.

"Human workers at companies like @AppenGlobal often handle the more distasteful parts of training AI and are the lower-paid, often ignored backbone of the entire industry."
How is @Google going to become a leader in AI without the workers who train AI?

Also, I’d love to see this type of transparency in the AI space. Like…

Signal is a nonprofit. But what does this mean in practice? Today we do something most tech co’s avoid: talk money. What does it cost for Signal to play in a lane dominated by billion $ corporations, while rejecting the surveillance business model? 1/

For a @nytimes story, I'm looking to speak with disabled workers about their experiences requesting accommodations. What are the workplace barriers to accessibility? What could be better? My DMs are open (for the first time in years!) or email wendyluwrites@gmail.com. Thank you!

This looks like a tool that could be incorporated into asl interpreter training. Would be great if this program had an accessibility feature for working with communication access workers like interpreters and captioners.

tl;dr version of this presentation is - every act of heroism mask the structural and systemic deficiency. By saving something in the short run you are heading into bigger trouble later on. Advice was: let if fail. If nothing else, at least it will lead to a better system.

RID is leaving Twitter due to Elon Musk eliminating the Accessibility team. One of RID’s values is accessible & effective communication access in all spaces where diverse, intersectional Deaf lives are impacted. Access for all. Now.

Has ANY company making scheduling/invoicing software for interpreters actually spoken with any actual interpreters about the UX? Do they even know what UX is? @boostlingo @Gridcheck 😭

Often times there will be several different signs for a word in ASL, and just because someone signs it one way that’s different from how you do it does not automatically means it’s wrong..

This is one of the many reasons I wish the @girlscouts wasn’t have its convention in Florida next summer.
