#journalism Most AMAZING graphical reporting on #disabilities in the workplace! The author’s honesty is almost comical; his interviewees can’t make these stories up.

For instance, having a condition & being branded as “unfriendly” for not participating in camaraderie. In my own experiences, coworkers fail to understand that meeting up & drinking during Happy Hours exasperates health issues. Instead, they labeled me as “religious.”

Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.🍹

Hola Titánicos, como ya sabréis, la prevención del suicidio sigue siendo un desafío universal.

Cada año, el suicidio se encuentra entre las 20 principales causas de muerte a nivel mundial para personas de todas las edades.

Es responsable de más de 800.000 muertes, lo que equivale a un suicidio cada 40 segundos.

Con motivo del día de la Prevención del suicidio, he tenido el honor de realizar una entrevista, bastante dura, con una persona que ha vivido en sus propias carnes varios intentos de suicidio.

Con ello pretendo dar visibilidad a un gran problema, que se cobra vidas, y se vive en silencio, mirando la sociedad a otro lado.

🗣️Persons with disabilities are among the most impacted by the Russian invasion of Ukraine🇺🇦

During my humanitarian volunteering with Spravzhni Ukraine in Kherson, we delivered bed comforters for a family with a special needs loved one. 💙💛

The goal is always to alleviate suffering and to help normalize the lives of the people in the Kherson region.🌻

I will continue to support till Ukraine has victory🕊️

While we're all being rightly angry about the schools crumbling concrete crisis, please spare a moment to also be angry that the government is promising to bail out bankrupt councils - providing they cut support for children with #SEN and #disabilities.

Technology can accelerate learning at school, enhance productivity at work, and create fun ways to play and engage with friends and family. But if you’re someone who has difficulty using traditional technology controls like a keyboard, mouse, or game controller, you might feel like you’re being left behind.

In the first part of our two-part interview, we introduce you to Cephable Founder and CEO Alex Dunn. He shares his background, the story behind Cephable, and how the company is working to provide more flexibility around user interaction with technology through their innovative free app.

‘Alain Kornhauser, an engineering professor at Princeton, told me that the car has been so successful because it is a “DIY, Home Depot solution” to transportation—you pay upfront, and then you can drive yourself anywhere. But what about those who can’t afford a car? Or are too young to drive? Or have a disability? “What about those folks? Don’t they deserve mobility too?” he said.’ https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2023/08/driverless-taxis-waymo-cruise/675161/ #driverless #SanFrancisco #disabilities

And ATMs??? How do they enforce that?? Facial recognition that locks your account if it doesn't see lips or something?? It really doesn't even make sense, that letter.
