If you feel like you don't know what you don't know about accessibility, it can help to follow folks who discuss assistive technology, accessibility and disability. Here's a Bluesky list of people who post a lot about those topics.

âFord said you wouldnât need credit card for healthcare! Thatâs BULL!
He underfunds system then pays extra to privateers. Ford takes from public to profit pals: Ontario Place, Science Centre, surgeries! Itâs sickening!â #cdnpoli
Thank you â¤ď¸

Pierre is in the group uninterested in making these relationships. Like Trump he wants to break democracy.

Looking forward to giving the presentation I've been invited to give today to the @accessiblehousgnet.bsky.social about how smart green design also makes buildings and #housing accessible. There's nothing more #sustainable than #accessibility - demographics, durability, affordability, health, etc.
The hashtag #accessibility allows you to find lots of accessibility-related resources on Bluesky, LinkedIn, and other platforms that use hashtags. To find accessibility resources in Spanish, use the hashtag #accesibilidad. The hashtag #accessibilitĂŠ helps you find resources in French.

Historic old town in Spain offers solution to overcome the old step up from the street outside problem with a gentle slope ramp inside the entry door. Such an elegant solution.
It can be done! ÂĄOlĂŠ!

Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.
Including disabled Canadians and tourists. We urgently need you to fix the oversight of the missing Minister of Disabled Persons. We need to ensure all the new building happening doesnât make all the same discriminatory mistakes of the past.

@mark-carney.bsky.social please ensure your mandates are aligned with the 40 year old changes to the Canadian Charter and Human Rights Code which recognize disabled Canadians as equal citizens. We need a Minister to sheppard the #AccessibleCanada Act, the #DisabilityBenefit, and changes to education
National AccessAbility Awareness Week
Accessibility is the evolution of architecture, policy, legislation, business, and all design.
It's time we evolve and right size and right cost.
Prime Minister #MarkCarney bring down these barriers! Invest in justice.

Quote from John Pavlovitz posted on social media, "Saying your anti-woke is a whole lot quicker than saying you're a selfish and fearful human being who is terrified of diversity, hostile to progress, and wants no one else to have the rights, representation, love or opportunity you have.

Old tweet from the late Hon. David Onley, former Lieutenant Governor of Ontario, "Ableism permeates our governimg structures so deeply, is so embedded into all processes that the ableds within are utterly oblivious. PWDs are afterthoughts but only when thr ableds are reminded and at that, only when they get around to it.
By not appointing a Minister for Disabled Persons you are proving the late Hon. David Onley's point at how systemic ableism is in government.
We need a Minister to sheppard the #AccessibleCanada Act which is 5 years old and still mostly languishing. Be the PM for all Canadians including us disabled
Please add the Minister of Disabled Persons to ensure the #AccessibleCanada Act and the equity we've been waiting for as promised 40 years ago under the Canadian Charter & Human Rights laws require. Donât let ableism & bias win. 100% of Canadians are born with and get disabilities. You can fix this

Pope Leo meets Opus Dei boss in a private audience to get an "update" on its reforms
You might recall Opus Dei cancelled a vote on its reforms hours after Francis passed away
Leo "listened with great interest to the explanations given" - I bet he did!

If guilty people don't have Due Process rights, then innocent people don't have Due Process rights, because we don't know if they're innocent or guilty until we have a trial or hearing.
Perfect!
Black and white etching-style triptych showing 8 hours for work on the left, 8 hours for rest in the middle, and 8 hours for âwhat we willâ on the right
Did you know the âweekendâ and working only 8 hours per day used to be considered a radical, liberal idea?
139 years ago today, in Bay View, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 7 workers (including a 13 yo) lost their lives to advance this revolutionary idea.

Duckworth on if she's open to voting to confirm Mike Waltz: "I think everybody on that Signal chain needs to be fired ... he's failing up ... I'm not open to voting for him, no, because he's already demonstrated he's incapable of doing the most basic thing, which is handling classified information."
