Thrilled to finally be sharing my Densho blog post on disabled Japanese Americans incarcerated during WWII. #DisabilitySky #skystorians Glad it made it in time for #DayOfRemembrance #EO9066 #AcademicSky densho.org/catalyst/ask-a…

@NHKWORLD_News Enjoyed this episode. Can you please include voiceover for the subtitled portions and/or have a darker background for subtitles for accessibility? Thank you!

2/2 Maybe you should work more on making your product accessible by hiring disabled ppl. Also just get rid of the AI. #Accessibility #DisabilityTwitter

1/2 @QuickBooks Please stop constantly changing your layout & system. It doesn't help ppl w/various disabilities to need to re-learn a program. Also, your layouts are difficult for visually impaired ppl since there's so much unnecessary clutter and it's hard to enlarge text.

Coming back to this app to ask @Uber, @lyft great to have service animal, wheelchair notifications. Can you please include allowing notifications for a visually impaired rider? #DisabilitySky #Accessibility

If you're in a med program, please advocate for more disability history, more disabled speakers, and more justice-oriented legislation. And for the love of God please LISTEN to disabled patients. We know our bodyminds best. #MedEd #DisabilityTwitter #DisabilityPrideMonth 17/17

@SylviaBSo All of Henry VIII's English wives were (distantly) related, weren't they?

Anne Boleyn & Jane Seymour had the same great-grandmother. Elizabeth Cheney (d. 1473) was married first to Sir Frederick Tilney and then to Sir John Say. Both marriages produced children, including Elizabeth Tilney, Anne's grandmother & Anne Say, Jane’s grandmother.

@NatlParkService No but I learned this week while listening to a book on Broadway musical history that I only knew the "On Top of Old Smokey" parody about spaghetti. The original is bleak.

This year's theme of National Park Playlist celebrates musical connections to national parks and the American story. Are you ready to press play on an amazing visit to a national park?

It's National Park Week! It's like a whole week for parks.

There are SO many cool CFPs and CFAs out but none halve alt text. Please make sure disabled people can access your media! Use the alt text function, add a accessible Google Doc to the thread, but dont just presume someone can read the smallest photo of a detailed poster

If you're posting images, screenshots, etc PLEASE include alt text. Otherwise they're inaccessible to blind and visually impaired people. ##accessibility #DisabilityTwitter #AcademicTwitter

@USFWS See loads in the park but they're all male.

Have you seen any red-winged blackbirds lately? These birds can be found across much of the U.S. and Mexico year-round, but those that breed in parts of the north, including much of Canada can only be found in the summer. 📷 Jim Hudgins/USFWS

So glad to hear that many saw (and commented on) our presentation "Accessibility and the 2025 NCPH Annual Meeting"! Access copies, accessible presentations & posters etc. Got some work to do but great progress. #accessibility #DisabilityTwitter #AcademicTwitter #ncph2025

@vipintukur @Nicole_Lee_Sch What does this mean in laymen's terms?

In a proof-of-concept study, people with cognitive impairment in #LongCOVID were found to have asymmetrical glymphatic dysfunction in the left hemisphere of the brain which also correlated with disruption of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). 1/

@DisabledAcadem I'm sorry, that's awful. I'd reply and point that out. They likely are clueless and need it spelled out, which I know shouldn't be our job.

I got back "no worries! Thanks!" Like this level of casual callousness is so exhausting. No worries? I trekked 60 min around campus when that is HARD for me. I lost my OWN lunch time to make it to this event I was asked to attend. No worries? 5/6

A committee I'm on moved the location of an event last minute. They emailed at 12:15 for a 1:00 event. I had already left the office early to get there, bc Im disabled and I knew itd take me time to get there and get settled. 1/6

@UMNews @umncla @UofMNLawSchool other schools, departments etc and presenters: there are so many fascinating events & lectures. Please make them accessible: use mics, provide captions, describe images, repeat audience question etc. #DisabilityTwitter #accessibility
