Thoughtworks

As technologists, we have a unique and wonderful opportunity to make the world more inclusive, and so today, on #IDPWD, please think about how you can make your work more inclusive, more accessible, more open.

By helping one group of people, we make experiences better for everyone -- think about how captions have made your life easier, even if your hearing is perfect.

Our #Accessibility Handbook is a great place to start: ter.li/rff2zc

I’m in my employer’s flagship event in honour of International Day of People with Disabilities.

Our keynote speaker opened her speech with…

You’re never going to guess. I mean, go on, try. But you’re never going to guess.

Except you are.

Today is International Day of Persons with Disabilities, which makes this thread especially relevant and somewhat ironic.

Mastodon.ARTMastodon•ART 🎨 Curator (@Curator@mastodon.art)The amount of hate I've seen directed at alt-text and at people who ask for, and provide, alt-text recently is disgusting. It's absurd levels of ableism (ableism is prejudice and discrimination against someone with a disability). Alt-text is a disability aid that helps blind and partially sighted people understand the contents of an image when they're browsing fedi using a screenreader. The screenreader reads the contents of a post, and when it comes to an image, it reads the contents - 🧵

Today marks International Day of People with Disability, so I thought I’d take the opportunity to spotlight a project close to my heart— 'All In'. The show is created by people with disabilities, and it’s a great way to support and celebrate their voices and creativity.

Check out last week's episode, which features Brimbank Deputy Mayor Victoria Borg, available online now. And don't miss this Thursday’s special episode at 6:30 PM on Channel 31, celebrating International Day of People with Disability. We’re thrilled to have the incredible local artist and activist Larissa MacFarlane, joining us for a truly inspiring conversation. Tune in and show some love!
