Bluesky has finally achieved minimum viable #a11y. I’m abandoning the X ship. Find me at bsky.app/profile/berkeleybli…
Still hoping some of my blind Twitter friends can connect me with cool blind / #a11y communities or individuals in Taiwan and Hong Kong. Any suggestions? @BlindUnion @NFB_voice @APHfortheBlind
I’m planning trips to Taiwan and Hong Kong. Any suggestions for blindness organizations or #a11y researchers to connect with while there? – at Berkeley, CA

YouDescribe, originally developed at SKERI by Joshua Miele @BerkeleyBlink, is a free, web-based platform for adding audio description to YouTube content. Since 2013, it has built a base of hundreds of volunteer describers and thousands of blind viewers.

Congrats to River who just had his Eagle Scout Service Project approved and scheduled! River will be leading a group of scouts in creating #AudioDescription with #YouDescribe to help tackle our wishlist. @boyscouts @A11y

Disability inclusion takes place when people with disabilities are “in the room where it happens,” from the classroom to the boardroom, and have the power to guide decisions that impact our community and our ability to participate as equals

“Normalizing disability means changing societal assumptions so that successful people with disabilities, in STEM fields or otherwise, are no longer unusual."

"I invite us all to re-examine the assumptions we have about disability and success."
Fantastic article from blind scientist, community leader, and inventor @BerkeleyBlink for @TIME on disability representation and tackling ableism in #STEM.

STEMM equity is impossible without the disability community. It is clear we must start with anti-ableism and accessibility education across the STEMM ecosystem. This is ALL of our responsibility. Thanks to @BerkeleyBlink!

LFLegal became my website url, my Twitter handle, my brand because @BerkeleyBlink told me 15 years ago that Lainey Feingold (dot) com wouldn’t fit on a business card in one line of Braille. Possibly my final Tweet: Want inclusion? Listen to #disabled people. #a11y #RIPTwitter
Absolutely horrifying that this entire team has been disbanded. Prepare yourself for serious #a11y regressions on twitter. – at Berkeley, CA

It was a pleasure to work with the @NewsHour folks on this piece. Thanks to everyone for a great job! #a11y – at Berkeley, CA
