The subject of this meme just did a video about it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZIC...

I BREAK BACKSpace keys

Fair

Wasn't shapeshifting pretty standard for the ghosts in that movie?

💯

But I also realize that real, proven strategies for motivating significant changes like workers’ unions will probably not be platformed by a conference deeply tied to corporate interests.

Completely agree. I am grateful that events like AxeCon exist, and I am taking all the nuggets of knowledge I can out of the talks.

Some of the content just feels like it is attempting to coach folks using an outdated playbook.

To put it bluntly, fascists won’t care about accessibility KPIs when they don’t even want disabled people to exist.

I am not convinced that better metrics, empathetic case studies, or accessibility-centered business proposals will sway people who think anything DEIA-coded should be “deleted”

*palate cleanser 🤦

I loved this quote from Dr. Shew:
“The motto of ‘move fast and break things’ is a lot less fun when it is your body, or your education, or your safety being broken.”

and by cleanser, I mean an infuriating showcase of tech companies exploiting and endangering people with disabilities.
