Accessibility is a foundational part of any workflow.
Education should include it as part of foundational practice.
It’s not an afterthought.
It’s not hard to do.
It makes your products better.
Accessibility matters!!

National Park Service edits down Underground Railroad website, removes Harriet Tubman spot Harriet Tubman was an abolistionist and freedom seeker who led many others to safety in the north. Her photo and quote was removed from a fed website.

Harriet Tubman dedicated her life to freeing people from slavery and fighting for abolition.

The Trump administration cannot erase our history.

Trump Administration Threatens to Withhold Funds From Public Schools (Gift Article) State education officials will be required to verify that they have eliminated all programs that promote diversity, equity and inclusion that the administration deems unlawful, according to a new memo...

President Trump is using federal funding to coerce our public schools to comply with his agenda.

Schools should not be a political battleground.

Tonight watch β€œChange, Not Charity: The Americans with Disabilities Act” on PBS and YouTube. These stories matter. Learning about #DisabledHistory matters.

America has always been a bastion of freedom, holding the line against tyranny at home and abroad. No longer. Trump has placed us on the other side of that wall.

Disabilities can be super variable.

What works for someone one day, might not work the next.
When they’ve just about found a way to manage, something else happens or the disability progresses, so it’s back to the drawing board.

It’s a constant balance, and constantly adapting.

Minimising or dismissing ADHD as a social construct can be rebuffed with:

- multiple studies/scans showing structural, functional and other brain differences
- lived experience of so many manifesting same symptoms in same predictable ways
- responding to stimulants in the same predictable ways

Elon fires hundreds of Twitter employees and Twitter goes down.

Elon fires air traffic controllers and planes go down.

Elon goes on a DOGE rampage and the stock market goes down.

Elon regulates his own SpaceX and its starships go down.

I'm sensing a pattern.

Donold is now classifying protests at Tesla dealerships as β€˜domestic terrorism.’

Protest at a Tesla dealership and you get arrested as a terrorist.

But attack the Capitol and you get a pardon.

Record and transcribe audio in Notes on iPhone In Notes on your iPhone, add audio recording and transcribe the spoken words to text.

Did you know iOS 18 has a wicked cool feature in the Notes app? Live transcription! Great for meetings, appointments, lectures, when dictation perfectionism hits, and more! #EduSky #ATChat #UDL

AllSides | Balanced news via media bias ratings for an unbiased news perspective See issues and political news with news bias revealed. Non-partisan, crowd-sourced technology shows all sides so you can decide.

I am intrigued by AllSides and how it shows how different leaning media outlets report on key issues- left, center, right. Also has interesting data to consider. This is helping stay focused and informed while acknowledging media bias. #EduSky

It's time to stand up and speak out.

Call (202) 224-3121 and tell your representatives to not let Donald Trump and his administration take away your services.
