Thank you for the massive support over the past day. Needless to say you shouldn’t be hearing from me (about my needs) for the rest of the month ❤️💜🤎

The Truth Is Stronger Than the Baton – THE 99%
Trickle-Down – Tragically Hip
A musical offering of one of my favorite songs. Someone set it to images of "Occupy" and other protests against injustice and fascist oppression.
Are the hungry, homeless, and hurting the problem or the hateful haughty hypocrites? You are the 99%.
“I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. This is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant.”
― Martin Luther King Jr.

I already boosted @ben's original toot (https://a11y.info/@ben/111042729996934702) but in case you, like me, have boosts disabled I'm gonna toot this myself, because I think it is important.
Go read Ben's post about how #AI image generation erases people with #disability. It's been said before, but it bears repeating, and Ben's account is poignant and personal.

🦒 New post! "I'm a Spotless Giraffe."
#AI models were perplexed by a baby giraffe without spots. They're perplexed by me, too.
This article on #disability and #ableism within #GenerativeAI is more personal than I usually write. It would mean a lot to me if you read and shared it.
With thanks to @janellecshane for her original post!

In Ontario, a full-time minimum wage job will net you a monthly income equivalent to a month's rent on a 1 bedroom apartment.
Surviving on #Disability will net you a monthly income equivalent to 1/2 a month's rent.

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.

Hola Titánicos, cada 10 de septiembre se celebra el día mundial para la prevención del suicidio, con el objetivo de concienciar a nivel mundial que el suicidio puede prevenirse.
A nivel mundial se suicidan cada año casi un millón de personas, lo que equivale a una persona cada 40 segundos.

Fluctuation, oscillation, intermittent symptoms, flare-up, unpredictable, irregular...these words all describe #dynamicDisability. We need to acknowledge common languages.
Seemingly unrelated ways of being have similar (dynamic) impacts on #accommodations + #inclusiveDesign strategy. Workplaces, schools, institutions rarely take the dynamic nature of #disability into account when making accommodations + designing for #accessibility / #a11y
