Today is Global Accessibility Awareness Day (#GAAD). Today, I want you to ask yourself, then act, before you speak. Do you have an app you're maintaining? Look at some #accessibility resources for the framework you use for the user interface. Do you know if it's accessible or not? If it's not accessible, are you doing anything about it? Do you tell disabled visitors to your app/site that it's not accessible, and give them a timeframe, if any, when it will be? Do you have a website? If so, do you know if it's accessible or not? Are you an artist of any kind? Is your media accessible? Are you a writer? If so, are the images in your book described with #AltText?
If you're a part of a company that has anything to do with accessibility, including proudly posting about it, do you have any disabled employees? If so, do you show them that they're appreciated? If not, why don't you have any? If you create art about people with disabilities, do you have disabled people take a look at it before you share it? If you write books that have images in them, have any disabled people checked to make sure the Alt-text makes sense, and that the book is accessible otherwise? If not, why not? And when you get disabled people to check out apps, books, sites for your professional needs, do you pay them for it?
Please do remember us on every other day of the year, but particularly today, please remember: nothing about us without us.

Good afternoon, today I have entered the application of my Tuta account with the following email: thepedrolopc16@tuta.io and it does not let me enter or reset the password or anything. Can you know why I have suspended the account? @Tutanota
“This is a fight for freedom, the fundamental freedom to make decisions about one’s own body & not have their government tell them what they’re supposed to do,” the VP said.
VP #KamalaHarris then pivoted to the meat of her argument to #Florida voters: that #Trump was to blame for the #AbortionBan that just went into effect in the state, as well as others like it nationwide.
“Across our nation, we witnessed a full on assault, state by state, on #ReproductiveFreedom, & understand who is to blame: former president Donald Trump did this,” Harris said.
“Donald #Trump hand picked 3 members of the #UnitedStates#SupremeCourt because he intended for them to overturn #Roe, & as he intended, they did.”
#KamalaHarris harkened back to her grilling, as a senator on the judiciary cmte, of 2 of Trump’s #SCOTUS nominees, saying it was clear after their confirmation that the days of nationwide #abortion#access were numbered:
Aira Access AI. Went to Amazon.com on my computer and the first thing was a captcha that I had to do in order to get into my account. I used Access AI to take a picture of my screen, then asked it to tell me the characters in the image. It quickly came back and said, the characters in the image is, and listed the five letters. The best thing is that it was totally correct! Way to go @AiraVI, Access AI knocked it out of the park! 🤩 #Aira#Access#AI#Blind#Accessibility
The 2 rulings put the 2 states in the “most restrictive” category for #AbortionAccess & policies, acc/to the Guttmacher Inst, a research & policy org that advocates for #ReproductiveRights & tracks #abortion#access.
The rulings could lead to the closure of reproductive #health#clinics in the 2 states.
#Florida’s new restrictions would put the #Miami & #Tampa metro areas -w/a combined population of ~9M people- >500 miles from the nearest clinic in a state w/o a near-total or 6wk #AbortionBan.
#Iowa’s Supreme Court heard oral arguments Thurs in a case that could decide the future of #abortion in that state, the latest in a series of #legal battles that threaten abortion #access across the country during a historic #election year.
What’s so bad about a road?
Roads are forest killers.
"A road means access. Once roads are bulldozed into rainforests, illegal loggers, miners, poachers and landgrabbers arrive. Once they get access, they can destroy forests, harm native ecosystems and even drive out or kill indigenous peoples. This looting of the natural world robs cash-strapped nations of valuable natural resources."
The decision established that minors at open-air sites were in #legal custody of the DHS & thus must receive #safe#shelter, even if they had not yet been formally processed.
“The ability to exercise discretion over, & make decisions affecting, a child’s #health & #welfare is indicative of maintaining #legal custody of the child, regardless of whether that decision is to provide or withhold care,” the 12-pg order read. “Juveniles, unlike adults, are always in some form of #custody.”
The headline should read Trump-enabler who voted for unqualified Supreme Court judges and against impeachment, says she won’t vote for Trump…until she inevitably does
#MarilynLands, a Dem who made #ReproductiveRights a centerpiece of her campaign in deeply #conservative#Alabama, won a special election to the Alabama Legislature.
Lands’ victory in the suburban district in the #DeepSouth state was celebrated by #Democrats who have attempted to portray the state #GOP as too extreme on #abortion & reproductive rights.
“Today, #Alabama women & families sent a clear message that will be heard in Montgomery & across the nation. Our legislature must repeal AL’s no-exceptions #AbortionBan, fully restore #access to #IVF, & protect the #right to #contraception,” #MarilynLands said.
#SupremeCourt#AbortionPill case
Tue’s oral argument is focused on whether to overrule the #FDA & reimpose restrictions on getting #abortion medication. <2 yrs after #SCOTUS overturned #RoeVWade, the issue of #ReproductiveRights is returning to the high court on Tues as the justices consider whether to limit access to a med used in >60% of US abortions.
The #Biden admin & the manufacturer of #mifepristone are seeking to reverse a lower-court ruling.
The #pharmaceutical industry warned that 2nd-guessing the #FDA will broadly disrupt the nation’s #drug-approval process & stymie private investment in #research.
The case could make it harder to get #MedicationAbortions even in states where #abortion is legal. Allowing #medication abortions to proceed w/o an in-person medical visit has increased #access, particularly for women in #rural areas & others who struggle to go to a clinic in person, allowing them to complete the process from home. #law
#SCOTUS could also further impede #abortion#access for those living in one of the >15 states w/a strict #AbortionBan in place. A few telemedicine clinics have started allowing US-based doctors to prescribe & mail pills into restricted states, relying on new “#ShieldLaws” passed in several blue states to protect them from prosecution. The largest of these clinics, Aid Access, now mails ~6k doses of #MedicationAbortion into antiabortion states every month, acc/to founder Rebecca Gomperts.
#Trump’s son-in-law said he was close to finalizing real estate projects in the two #Balkan nations, an example of the Trump family’s pursuit of deals abroad as the former president seeks the White House.
These first 2 projects both involve land now controlled by the govts, meaning a deal would have to be finalized w/ #ForeignGovernments.
A 3rd project, also in #Albania, would be built on the Zvërnec peninsula, a 1k-acre coastal area in the south….
#Kushner’s participation would be through his investment firm, #AffinityPartners, which has $2B in funding from #SaudiArabia’s Public Investment Fund, among other foreign investors.
Fairscope do many other great things, but I LOVED the “Chairigami” furniture they were using on their stand here at the Ocean Sciences meeting. It was robust and comfortable and easy to flat pack. More of this!
