Accommodation and access are not gifts to be bestowed upon disabled people.
Accommodation and access are imperatives to insure inclusion, equity and justice for disabled people.

The headline *chefs kiss*

Flexible work options create inclusive work environments. Companies who force people back in on unnecessarily strict schedules are creating exclusionary environments.

A reminder that alt text should not be used to add cute “hidden” messages.

It should be used to describe the images you’re providing in a helpful way, to ensure access to information is equal.

It’s a way to be inclusive to folks with disabilities, particularly those who are blind or low vision.

FYI for Newskies, there’s a push here to add ALT to your images (you might notice it’s a lot more common then on Twitter). Many folks won’t repost posts that don’t have ALT on them. You can turn on an ALT reminder in your settings!

PSA: the CDC has a program that pays for your COVID vaccine if your insurer won't. The guy at CVS told me that my insurer had not added the new vaccine to its formulary yet, so I'd need to pay $190. I told him about this program, showed him the website, and paid nothing. 🤗

When you say, "This is an experiment and we don't have time to make it accessible." it is now a question of discussing who exactly you're willing to exclude.

it's 1988. Under cover of night, Ringo Starr slips around, making his case and calling in favors. One by one, they step in line. Ringo. Paul Simon. Barry Gibb. John Fogerty. Carl Perkins.
