Does anyone else use chocolate fingers to drink their tea through?

Language is a wonderful thing. The power a single word can have to connect, irritate, trigger, comfort, confuse, empower. I see if every day. Design.

Names are personal, but people are forced to change and manipulate then to fit into a box that wasn't designed with them in mind. How can your design be more respectful of someones identity? #inclusivedesign

“The research team found that ‘mimicking the effects of a disability for only a few minutes fails to account for the diverse coping mechanisms and innovative techniques persons with disabilities develop in long-term situations. Thus…” — @ameliaabreu blog.prototypr.io/why-i-wont-try…

@smashingmag We are running a quarterly event in Vancouver (Vancouver digital accessibility on Meetup). We have demoed screen readers, walked through testing processes and starting to touch on inclusive design. We'd love to share these resources with our small but mighty community.

If you're running an accessibility meet-up or local community, we’d love to send some of new books over to you — anywhere in the world. Also, if you could write a review of the book, we’d love to send a book over, too. DMs are open. 🥳

Inclusive bites 1/100: When designing and building UI components, think about the label, the role and the state so screen reader users have the same understanding of the interaction #accessibility #inclusivedesign

Hey Vancouver! Aug 28th we have the next Digital Accessibility Meetup downtown. Join us to learn the 5 steps to implementing an accessibility test plan bit.ly/2Z7n0Vb #accessibility #vancouver

Community gardens are a chance for people to engage, connect and learn together. This is especially important in our cities where it gives families access to fresh, nutritious food who otherwise can not afford or access it. #foodsecurity #communitygarden globalnews.ca/news/5288286/t…

Today is Global Accessibility Awareness Day and @goclio took part with a 'device station' where our staff could try out different devices and simulators to raise awareness of how people with different abilities experience online services. #gaad #accessibility

"Thinking is not knowing" women are more likely to ruminate in the spiral of why, try ask yourself what instead. #theartof #womensleadership

"leaders don't ask for permission" there's a courage in leading #theartof #womeninleadership

"You don't have to look hungry, to be hungry" Food-insecurity is not just an issue in other countries, it's happening right next door, next to your local organic grocery store. Nutritious food is still not accessible for everyone. #foodsecurity #food thewalrus.ca/food-insecurit…

@rowbot_weisguy @emilyamacrae @AimeeLouw1 @Kickstart_Arts A few of us at @goclio had been thinking the same, so we started Vancouver Digital Accessibility Meetup. We are aiming for the 2nd event in Jan so if you have ideas or want to get involved send me a message, let's get this conversation going meetup.com/Vancouver-Digi…

@emilyamacrae @AimeeLouw1 @Kickstart_Arts Whoops, I meant @Bequa ! 😅
