The states in pink are joining together to cancel section 504 of the rehabilitation act of 1973.

The one that prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities .

If you live in these states, pleae call and write your attorney general.

Watching these Super Bowl performances and not that I needed the reminder, but this country wouldn't have shit without Black creativity and innovation. And that impact goes way beyond entertainment. Try as you may to erase or downplay our contributions, you bitches would be nothing without us.

That moment when you're trying to read government bills and said this is too much lol. Why all these nonword letters and random numbers all over the place? Where the actual reading that's easy to follow? 🫠🙃 Where the summary? I ain't gonna read alla dat.

Any DEI effort is incomplete without Accessibility. Equity itself means accessibility for the Disability Community. There is no social justice without Disability Justice.

Accessible games can still be really fun! My sister who has visual disability loves The Vale so much because it’s finally a game where she can enjoy (and still smash people 😂) with amazing gameplay.

I wish more game designers will plan WITH accessibility in mind from the get go.
Reminder that a game can still be challenging, rewarding, AND accessible. Accessibility never has and never will compromise gameplay, so long as you do it right.

Making a game accessible AND fun is the difference between any designer vs. a great designer.

Please don't tell me he is a cabinet member now? 🫠 I tried to keep up for real.
Will Lord Xenu tell RFK Junior in a few months what is causing the autism epidemic?

It couldn’t possibly be that these people were always there, like people with ADHD and now there’s more awareness and you’re starting to see more get diagnosed versus misdiagnosed & underdiagnosed and stigmatized.
RFK, Jr: “For 30 years, CDC & NIH have looked at this autism epidemic & said we know it’s not vaccines but we don’t know what’s causing it. Well we’re going to find out what’s causing it & we’re going to do that in a couple of months.”

So we should expect to know the cause of autism by April? 😂

Setting boundaries as an autistic person and/or ADHDer usually looks different than it does for NT folks, and that’s ok.

This is true at scale. A study found that Black profiles on LinkedIn are 13% less likely to have their connection request accepted as compared to white profiles.

There is also work by sociologists David Pedulla and Devah Pager that shows that job network formation is racialized. #econsky #blacksky

Absolutely. Grind it to a halt.
