I've wanted to write something about academic accommodations for a while, and in the absence of other inspiration, I'm just going to put it here.
I have a few points to make but first a bit of context about me. I'm profoundly deaf in my right ear. Basically can't hear anything in it. 1/

I had a dream about a musical called "Faculty Meeting" and weirdly it was good?
The first number is about someone objecting to approving the minutes without unanimous consent but not offering a correction. This is how we meet The Parliamentarian, our narrator.

Who Rickrolled Benoit Blanc: A Knives Out Mystery
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

If you're a large account people follow for Disability-related information, you have a responsibility to demonstrate proper digital accessibility to the extent possible. This means using alt text correctly (not popularly—correctly) and including video descriptions at minimum and ideally transcripts.

Friends, if you or someone you know has published awesome work in disability studies (defined *broadly*), please let me know! I'm updating my "Disability: A Democratic Dilemma" course and would love to include some newer work (both academic and otherwise).

What a fucking insult AI-generated subtitles are to deaf and hard of hearing people. Riddled with uncorrected errors and stupid guesses. An embarrassment.
