‘May be an image’: what it’s like browsing Instagram while blind. “A platform can have a hundred accessibility options, but without buy-in from every user, people are still left out.” Article by Kait Sanchez: theverge.com/2021/7/30/2258… crisp #A11y #Accessibility

BU Urban is on the right side of history. #A11yBU.

Join the 140,000+ people who have engaged with Boston University School of Public Health’s #PublicHealthConversations. See the Fall 2021 series here: bit.ly/3ypoiZ7. All events are free, virtual, and have closed captions in English and Spanish.  #A11yBU Thank you for the accessibility feature, Boston University School of Public Health !!

Instead of *stating* "[person] has a *blindspot* to their behavior," consider what insight can come from *asking* "[person]'s view on the matter is obstructed; what needs to be addressed or removed?" #A11yBU #antiAbleism #LanguageMatters #ObstructedView #QuestionAbility

We're not simply looking to fill positions; we're working to "close the gap." #A11yBU #BostonUniversity #antiracism #antiableism #ableism #antibigotry #highereducation

"That's okay, I can project," isn't the best alternative response to not using microphone systems. Why? Vocal projection in acoustically percussive spaces does not replace the need for amplification + auditory focus. We appreciate LETS @ithelp #accessibility #A11yBU #LETSworkBU

If there is such a thing as "disability culture," then are there behaviors that are oppressive/empowering toward it? #RHETToricleQuestions #antiableism #CripCulture #antiracism #Ableism #A11yBU #QuestionAbility #inclusion #JudyHeumann #Disability

Attending #SAFEBUDS Boston University Diversity & Inclusion event this evening. The Arts, Games, and Sports have been great emancipatory for persons with disabilities. #A11yBU
