Haven't been on here in a while, but, trying to be better. So, for anybody who cares, or is even remotely interested, doing the London marathon next year. Mind is abuzz with ideas for fundraising. Look out for the things to come.

@BlindGirlVlogs Fair. Suppose I didn't really look into customising the double click cause I use ApplePay a fair bit and find it very convenient.

A powerful and poignant piece from @myblurredworld! Being visually impaired myself, this resonates. While Elin relates her experience, it'll be impactful for people with, and without disabilities. Belonging as a vision impaired person in a visual world myblurredworld.com/2024/03/17/bel…

@myblurredworld Of course Elin! As I say, a great piece, and I'm sure a commonly felt, but often not expressed sentiment. Which is why it's so great to see people doing so.

This one popped up today: Is sign language different from subtitles. Yes. The key word is language. Subtitles capture the words. Sign Language conveys language. With semantics, intonation, linguistics.. and so much more. Together, they empower inclusivity. 🤟

Don’t get defensive when disabled people tell you something you've created, or your business, or an activity you're planning isn’t accessible. We’re not telling you this as a personal attack. It's because we want to access it but can’t, and you're the one who can change that.

@ConnorScottG Not the app, but I remember when I was job hunting, a fair few applications used the Workday platform, and it wasn't the most accessible. It was a few years ago though, so can't speak on specifics. Not the most helpful sorry.

Disabled people don't want your applause. We want access. We want safety. We want equality.

Very proud of this research on how viewing angle (side, front, etc) impacts BSL comprehension. Excellent work by the whole team (@BodoWinter, Diar Abdlkarim) but most of the credit needs to go to the fabulous @freya_watkins_ Open access link: nature.com/articles/s4159…

I haven't kept up with Braille displays and technology, but incredibly useful and such a life saver when I used them in school.

Technology has rapidly evolved since the invention of #Braille 200 years ago, and we now live in a digital world. Ever wondered what types of innovative braille technology is used by students who are #Blind or #VisuallyImpaired? ⬇️
