Similarly,I avoid professional conferences in states that permit open carry of firearms.
I have decided to not attend the @AmerUrological annual meeting in San Antonio, TX this year. My husband & I are trying for our 2nd child. At 39 yrs old I have a high risk of miscarriage & I don't want to go somewhere my healthcare options are limited should I have an emergency

Everyone is just one accident or illness away from needing the accommodations they might refuse someone else.
It doesn’t matter how much you work out, how many vitamins you take, how much sun you get, what kind of food you eat, YOU CAN BECOME DISABLED. Immunity to disability doesn’t exist. It’s the only minority group you can join at any point in time.

I loved this stuff until I looked into the ingredients. Seventh generation makes a version that doesn’t have petroleum products like this one does.

"Human workers at companies like @AppenGlobal often handle the more distasteful parts of training AI and are the lower-paid, often ignored backbone of the entire industry."
How is @Google going to become a leader in AI without the workers who train AI?

Also, I’d love to see this type of transparency in the AI space. Like…
Cost of training/dev infra, whence your data + what $/process to obtain/curate it, who does data labeling + curation + RLHF, how many workers at what $…cost of inference at X load for Y use case on Z infra,
Signal is a nonprofit. But what does this mean in practice? Today we do something most tech co’s avoid: talk money. What does it cost for Signal to play in a lane dominated by billion $ corporations, while rejecting the surveillance business model? 1/

I got chills watching this. Thank you, Governor @JanetMillsforME for your powerful acknolwedgement of the American Sign Language Interpreter. And thank you @CNN for showing the interpreter the whole time. #LewistonMaine #deafcommunity
I can’t speak for NYU, but I can for the rest of the city when I say that NYC would love to have you. 🗽🤞🏽

Deaf friends, check this out….
For a @nytimes story, I'm looking to speak with disabled workers about their experiences requesting accommodations. What are the workplace barriers to accessibility? What could be better? My DMs are open (for the first time in years!) or email [email protected]. Thank you!

And considering the extent to which most interps are women, I find it sexist when our time isn’t respected. Women are expected to just “be available.” Pace your communication and account for overage in your event planning.

Even if we don’t have another job, we have other priorities that need our attention. Don’t start a new topic, or “just one more quick thing” 2 mins before the event end time. “The interps have to leave..” bc you only arranged to pay us until that end time.

So then it shouldn’t be such a surprise why so many interpreters want to continue to work from home. Many are busy moms and WFH allows us ro reclaim hours in our day to also care for our families.

If someone is fluent in ASL and want to become a doctor or health care provider, they shouldn’t have to pay for medical school. Hope you get to have this experience more often.

This looks like a tool that could be incorporated into asl interpreter training. Would be great if this program had an accessibility feature for working with communication access workers like interpreters and captioners.
