The Department of Education being closed is one of the dumbest things I've ever seen.

Most #maga supporters want it as #trump and #doge convinced them schools were federally funded, and they were going to overhaul and fix it.

They're too uneducated to know that it's already funded by states, and The Department of Education exists to fill gaps in resources, especially for #disabled and disadvantaged children.

Which red states need THE MOST.

Question for #blind folks, or I guess any #disabled folks for that matter, who were active on Twitter when Squelon took over and dismissed the accessibility team wholesale:

Did any moderate to significant accessibility issues crop up shortly or soon after that happened? If so, what? Also, how is Twitter/X accessibility today for anyone still around? Better, worse, or comparable?

Not looking for a whole lot of detail--I'm just writing a thing and would prefer to not just make up my anecdotes. I might reference this thread in the post for anyone wanting more detail.

Thanks!


As you may have heard, 17 states have sued the US government to overturn Section 504, a landmark piece of civil rights legislation that's provided #Disabled Americans with equal access to schools, medical facilities and other aspects of public life for more than 50 years. The Disability Rights Education and Defense Fund is holding a webinar to discuss this lawsuit and provide ways we can fight back. Register here: dredf-org.zoom.us/webinar/regi…


I do not owe anyone my #disability positivity. I am not a walking advocacy campaign, but a human being living the rollercoaster that is #disabled life, that is life itself.

I will have good days and bad, most will be mixed, all will come with challenges. I cannot demand the standards of myself that the wider non-disabled world asks of me, but I can be more gracious in my assessment of my abilities.

I will complain without solutions, celebrate with enthusiasm tinged with frustration, choose the parts of myself I share sometimes with care and sometimes without.

You will deal with it, or not; it makes very little difference, other than when it makes all the difference.



ICYMI for the evening crowd, we're looking to spread more #DisabledPride and #QueerJoy and support and uplift our communities. If you're a #Disabled and/or #LGBTQ creator or small business owner, reply with your links. Times are hard, let's do what we can to stay relatively positive and help each other.

"still trying to get help from whatever rent assistance program my housing stabilization worker can find (no luck at all yet, i haven't heard from them since mid-november), i'm at the "how to market myself" point of my self-employment thing and haven't received the grant for that yet, and everything's still taking forever to fall into place still due to bureaucracy and everything moving really slow. i'm hoping stuff will work out fine in the new year, but...i honestly dunno what'll happen at this point."

Being #blind is fun. Just encountered a visual captcha with no audio option. So I used JAWS Picture Smart to get AI to read me the text of the visual clue, which I typed in and got through. So basically I'm a human who needs a robot to prove to another robot that I am not a robot. Without my robot, the other robot would have thought I was a robot. Also I was trying to make a payment on my PAP machine, which really should in itself indicate that I am not a robot. #Disability #Disabled




I wrote about #Project2025 (the frightening blueprint for a Trump presidency) and its impact on #disabled people, #disability rights, and digital #accessibility. Feedback always welcomed. lflegal.com/2024/07/project-20…



This could be me and you if the US government allowed disabled people to get married without losing their benefits...

I find myself reaching out for #MutualAid once again. I thought I had 11 days to renew my phone number for the month, but I only have 9. I have to pay £9.49 by January 26th. Please support me with whatever you can!

On October 4 the United States Supreme Court will hear a case about who can file lawsuits under the Americans with Disabilities Act. The Opinion (not expected until 2024) may impact digital accessibility lawsuits. My article about the case is here. It includes links to the audio and transcript of the argument that will be posted. lflegal.com/2023/10/acheson-te… #accessibility #disability #disabled #a11y

My queer platonic partner Luke and I are both trans, neurodivergent, and disabled. We are currently homeless and living out of our van with our two cats.

We are in need of mutual aid donations to help us be able to afford food, gas, and other necessities, along with our phone bill on the 4th of $100.

My CashApp and Venmo links (handles:$magicalgrrrl/@magicalgrrrl respectively) and Luke's PayPal (@LouieSJ) are in my linktree: linktr.ee/magicalgrrrl

Please help a couple of homeless queers survive during #Pride month

#Disabled people and #spoonies, a lovely and very organised-sounding group of people on Mastodon have set up disabled.social - if you've been considering Mastodon, this might be for you.

More info here: mastodon.social/@PanickedFoodi…

They have a whole accessibility TEAM!


REQUESTING URGENT HELP;

If you know me from #Twitter you've been informed that my mom is abusive & ableist...

I'm an Autistic person requesting help to secure safe housing & pay for a plane ticket. A year ago I was planning to move for college, but gradually my mom has been financially trapping me. I now have no solid income atm & I cannot work or drive!
