“This is what disability advocates have said all along…The able and the disabled aren’t two different kinds of people but the same people at different times. Last year, I was healthy; this year, I had a breathing ailment, even if nobody could say exactly what that ailment was.”

One for the ages, by one of the best writers I've ever had the honor to be edited by. Horrific, but beautifully written. "My Unraveling: I had my health. I had a job. And then, abruptly, I didn’t." By @tomscocca in @NYMag nymag.com/intelligencer/…

To paraphrase James Baldwin, to be a writer is to witness. I wrote this on why Palestinian liberation is #DisabilityJustice

@fiinixdesign I'd say both. Disabled don't people "need" non-Disabled support to succeed, and I'm not saying we should ever prioritize hiring non-Disabled people specifically – only that non-Disabled people should be the ones bearing the brunt of an ableist environment where possible.

@codeability This is one of the questions I keep battling with every day. Do we make spaces anti-ableist first, or hire Disabled people to shape what that should even look like first? I think it's probably a bit of both—but genuinely would love your take.

@alvaro_montoro My post addressed devs, the people who can ingest news of this bug and work around Apple's shortcomings. My choice to pick a specific topic for my post on this microblogging website and then do a little quip at the end does not mean I am letting browser vendors off the hook.

@codeability And I know that the person who uses Safari/VoiceOver doesn't care who is at fault. They get a broken experience either way. So, in the end, it doesn't matter much.

@alvaro_montoro I'm aware of that. My grumble at the end is because people often (well-meaningly) say that we get accessibility "for free" by using things that come from the web platform. People have the impression that platform-native things are flawless. They obviously aren't.

@codeability This is pointing fingers in the wrong direction. The HTML definition is not to blame, but the implementation that Safari/VoiceOver did of it.
