You cannot have Equity without including disabled people. You cannot have Diversity without including disabled people. You cannot have Inclusivity without including disabled people. Accessibility should not be an afterthought.

If you spent your year distancing from family and friends, canceling vacations, living on Zoom, homeschooling your kids, and grappling with loneliness and fear, never forget that you probably saved someone's life. It cost you a lot, but it would have cost someone else everything.

@parker_gibbons @scottbelsky @FakeGreenDress Sometimes, it’s better to beg forgiveness than to ask for permission. Also last week, we shipped an Equitable Language update across all our products to change terms that are rooted in oppression. 10a/13

Captioning. Seriously, this is important. Videos will be 80% of web content by next year, and without captions, a huge segment of people can’t access them. #heweb18 #mcs9

Space out acronyms in Twitter image descriptions and don't use extra periods (no AP style for times!) since a screen reader will pause for them. #heweb18 #mcs9

On that note, if any #heweb18 folks want to give me feedback on my alt text and image descriptions, I’ll take it. I want to do this better.

I’ve been including alt text on my Twitter pics for a year or so, but never thought about using VoiceOver to hear how it sounds. I’ve gotta try that!! #heweb18 #mcs9

When you’re writing your image description you’re going to want to think about context and equal access. #HEWeb18 #MCS9

It’s ok to get a bit poetic in the image description if the purpose of the image is to evoke that same reaction. Example: a gorgeous photo of your campus with lush fall foliage. #heweb18 #mcs9

Look up screen reader demos. It changes the way you interact with tech for the rest of your life. #heweb18 #mcs9

High Ed Web is promoting pronoun culture. Great way to start a session on accessibility. #heweb18 #mcs9
