Don’t participate in the thing, respect the people who do, mind your own business, and move on with your damn life. Easy.

It’s amazing how the logic, “If you don’t like that thing that isn’t harming you or others, just don’t participate in it,” is applicable to so many different scenarios and how willfully so many people ignore that.

Instead of fixing the shitty power grid Ted Cruz goes to Cancun
Instead of supporting women’s reproductive rights he attacks gay marriage
Instead of defending his wife he attacks Dr. Biden
Instead of passing gun reform he blames doors
Always count on Ted to do the wrong thing

The fact that so many Republicans had no clue how commonly 10 and 11 year olds suffer child sexual abuse and become pregnant (so much so, they thought it must've been made up) further proves that have ZERO awareness of how terrifying it is to be a girl or woman in this country.

1470 cases of monkeypox. No longer any point in comparing to the outbreak 19 years ago when we were able to contain it after 47 cases.
Is it time to say the quiet part out loud? Our individualized perspective to public health ruined our ability to control diseases.

SOME NEWS 
In recent years, I've seen a lot of Deaf friends put calls out for last-minute requests for British Sign Language (BSL) interpreters. They're often accompanied with pleas to RT the tweet to get it to spread as far as possible.
I have an idea which could help.

So, how does it work? 🤔
At the moment, we've got it to retweet any tweet containing the hashtag /BSLRequest (with 'BSLRequests' thrown in to catch any typos!)
We hope to make it so you can in replies to get it to RT tweets without these hashtags, too.

A4: The development of alt text isn't really the responsibility of one person. Same goes for accessibility in general. Everyone within the content creation process—from the CMO to a student intern—needs to prioritize accessibility in order for it to be done properly. #PopChat

"Over 25 percent of US adults have a disability, but rigorous and centralized accessibility information is still hard to find for even the biggest tech releases."
Love this piece by about the lack of accessibility coverage in tech journalism.

Just got served an ad on YouTube for where a dad described himself as the "personal janitor for a 25-pound anarchist" and then showed his small daughter spilling milk everywhere.
Please give that copywriter a raise because I cackled over that line.

I’d like to add another one… Overlay vendors that are completely honest about what their products can and can’t do.

"Since Twitter expanded its alt text display option to all users in April, misuse of the feature has been rife, frustrating those who use screen readers."
Great article by in the about the ongoing misuse of Twitter's alt text field.

Use emojis, not emoticons. Emojis have built-in alt text descriptions that can be read by screen readers. Emoticons are manipulated punctuation marks and will be read by screen readers as punctuation marks. An example is a smile or frown formed by a colon and parenthesis.

58 percent of Americans are absolutely right. The current system of government wasn’t designed to accommodate multiracial, pluralistic democracy, and it consistently awards disproportionate power to those who abhor true democracy. High time to change that.

"It looks like you were misusing this feature by going too fast. You’ve been temporarily blocked from using it."
The message that Facebook just flashed at me in a pop-up after I tried to check notifications for a single page. Just laughable. Today is broken.
