I don’t need access because I have a disability. I need access because you have excluded me.

@Riccobono is crushing this banquet address. "Every day, we have more choices than the day before because of the progress of the National Federation of the Blind." Brilliant, sir. #NFB19

One student from @NFBTX asked what BELL was, and when he heard it was an acronym he said, "Oh, #Braille es lindo." Braille is fun! #NFB19.

@Medium, it has been 29 years since the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed. Followers have been badgering you for YEARS to make your site accessible for blind users. And STILL no progress? You are excluding disabled people and also VIOLATING FEDERAL LAW. #a11y #ADA #CRPD

Hey, @TheCW with 7.54 million blind people in the United States, it's hard to believe that not one of them was fit for the leading role of your new series #InTheDark. #LetUsPlayUs #Discrimination

The entertainment industry has produced dozens of movies and TV shows portraying blind characters, usually offensively or inaccurately, and not even one of them has featured a blind actor in a recurring lead role. Which ones can you think of? Let's start a list. #LetUsPlayUs

Thank you @Orioles for helping raise awareness about the need for increased #Braille literacy through the Braille lettering on the jerseys worn by players and staff last night! Your commitment to accessibility and Braille literacy means a lot, and we appreciate your partnership!

It seems Joe Biden will be the first Democratic VP since Thomas R. Marshall (1920) NOT to run for president after being a heartbeat away.
