My favorite part of my ADHD brain is how I am able to come up with nine million exciting ideas only to fail completely at organizing those ideas, tracking my progress within ideas, and subsequently get completely overwhelmed and exhausted.

10/10 Highly recommend. Not.

The American Ornithological Society says it will alter the names of North American birds named after humans, starting with up to 80 of them.

The group said it will prioritize birds whose names trace to enslavers, white supremacists and robbers of Indigenous graves.

A #Mosque was burned in #Minneapolis, virtually NO mention on local news save for one station, NOTHING on national newscasts. It is the second time this Mosque has been targeted. I hate this hate permeating everything, everyone. 😔www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

Please think about disability when writing your alt text. It's not meant for supplemental information. People use AltText if

1) they are blind, have low-vision, or have other vision impairments

and

2) people, like me, also use AltText if they need to process info delivered by sight AND sound.

#IndigenousPeoplesDay is Monday. My challenge to non-Natives: dig into the history of the people who were displaced from your land, learn about the history of how they were displaced, find out where they are now, and support them financially or by protesting with them. Go beyond platitudes.

Care about accessibility and inclusion in your lab, in your classroom, or in your pedagogy?

Prioritize using plain language. Plain language is accessible.

It helps folks with cognitive disabilities, folks with neurodevelopmental disabilities, and a host of other disabled and able folks.
