Braille Is Beautiful, and Braille Is Literacy | By Dr. Kirk Adams | Courtesy of the PWD Media Co-Op
https://drkirkadams.com/braille-is-beautiful-braille-is-literacy/Kirk Adams argues braille is not an enrichment activity but literacy itself, and that the right principle is not braille or technology but braille and technology. Then he fact-checks his own side: the familiar 10% claim rests on a 1979 report, and the 90% employment figure on a 1996 study of 74 adults.

Steve Way appears in "Furious" as the character Alden who, like him, has physical disabilities that mean he needs a caregiver. He writes for his newsletter about the lie that disabled people are a burden, the fact that everyone needs care, and the economics of it all. "My care shows up as a line item. Yours is dispersed across a hundred transactions you don’t think about, most of them performed by people paid worse than they should be."

"TV will rot your brain!" Remember when we said that?
Now we're saying it about AI, and we're missing the plot. If you're exhausted by the doomism around AI, I wrote a guide on how to actually fight back...
...all without throwing neurodivergent folks who use cognitive prostheses under the bus. 💜 🤖

Ableism Enables All Forms of Inequity and Hampers All Liberation Efforts. Ableism has been used for generations to degrade, oppress, control and disappear disabled and nondisabled people alike.
In this engaging interview, Talila A. Lewis argues that ableism has deep implications for every other marginalized identity. In short, ableism, according to Lewis, is at the root of other powerful hegemonic sites — from race and class to colonialism and nationality. In this way, they uncover the ways in which ableism insidiously operates across space and time. As an abolitionist community lawyer, educator and organizer, Lewis has focused on abolishing the medical-carceral-industrial complex and highlighting the inextricable links between ableism, racism, classism, and all other forms of oppression and violence.

Is AI just a "slot machine" for random content, or is it a digital prosthetic for the neurodivergent mind? My latest essay explores how I use AI as a shield to protect my dignity and survive in a world not built for me.

["The decision was made after the provincial government’s recent backtracking on the redesign of language acquisition programs for deaf, hard-of-hearing and deafblind children.
It’s not just an organization closing,” said Sarah-Anne Hrycenko, a Deaf professional who received support through the Deaf Children’s Society of BC, or DCS, when she was a baby. “It’s the fading of an entire Deaf ecosystem that once nurtured language, identity and leadership in [the] B.C. Deaf community.” ]
This #BCgovernment doesn't really care about #PeopleWithDisabilities. Programs/services/supports for #disabled citizens have been cut, budgets slashed; we face years plus long waiting lists to access both medical & disability support services, we live under #eugenics public health policies, our BC government still denies prescription coverage for several essential medications, funding for nonprofits that help disabled people live/work has been fully cut or severely reduced. That's only the tip of the inhumane cruelty icebergs - when it comes to how our governments have #dehumanized & mistreated us disabled citizens. Their dishonest PR speeches do not align with the hard realities that people with disabilities in BC face, regularly.

#VisuallyImpaired #voters sue #NewHampshire over changes to #Absentee #BallotAccess
The plaintiffs say the new law will deter some voters with #disabilities from participating in the democratic process at all, even after they have registered to voteBy Steven Porter Globe Staff, Updated August 21, 2025, 9:30 a.m.
"Three people with visual impairments are suing New Hampshire officials to challenge the constitutionality of a law that will soon tighten #PhotoID requirements for voters seeking an #AbsenteeBallot.
"The plaintiffs — Adele Robertson of #ExeterNH, Daniel Frye of #ConcordNH, and Regina Wilson of #BrentwoodNH — allege the new law, known as #SenateBill287, will impose a significant burden on every #AbsenteeVoter statewide.
" 'And, in some cases, these burdens will entirely prevent voters from exercising their #RightToVote,' their lawsuit states.
Under the new rules imposed by #SB287, voters will be required to either bring a photo ID to their local election officials to request an absentee ballot in person, or submit a copy of their ID or a notarized signature along with their application.
While proponents said the legislation will better protect election integrity, critics said the changes will add barriers that disproportionately impact #seniors, voters with #disabilities, and those living in #rural parts of the state."Read more:

Benevolent Ableism is a very real growing problem around ABA and it's infringing of autism/human rights these days....

A #CradleCatholic. As a wee lad, I did all the stuff - Baptism, First Communion, Confirmation. I was born here all my life. When I was around four years old, the church kicked out my mom and, by extension, my family. An #ExcludedCatholic? I explored other practices and faiths, #meditation, #yoga, #Buddhism, and all the things. I wanted to not convert to a religion or practice that I had not been born to or wasn't otherwise ancestrally connected. A deep dive into Protestant fellowships lead to immersion into the #EarlyChurch Fathers and early #ChurchHistory. Entering the #OrthodoxChurch, I lived in several monasteries and wandered around the US like the guy in Way of a Pilgrim. I was ultimately drawn to #Theosis and the #PrayerOfTheHeart, sometimes called the #JesusPrayer. Long story short, decades later, a pandemic, and a few ends of the world, here I am. The #2024Election US has me wondering about US Christianities that support social actions and movements that contradict the teachings of Jesus. Shouldn't Christ's Gospel teachings be central?

All-Terrain Motoring for Persons with Disabilities at State Parks:
Several states offer wheelchair users the opportunity to explore the great outdoors in places they may have previously been unable to. These “Land Rover Wheelchairs” with tank style tracks, allow people with mobility disabilities to enjoy the natural beauty of state park trails, in even the most rugged and unaccommodating terrain.
Rocks, roots, snow wetlands and thick growth no longer prevent access to people with disabilities with a desire for bush wacking.Colorado offers free equipment as part of their a "Track-Chair" program included with the price of park admission. Minnesota has five chairs and has finished a test period as they are “evaluating” their pilot program. Michigan's “Sleeping Bear Dunes" was the first National Park to offer the rough and tumble 500 pound chairs.
Some states require users to complete an online training course and provide advanced notice or make reservations. There are rental fees involved for this “accommodation” in certain states.
South Dakota and Georgia recently unveiled their fleets of All-Terrain wheelchair "tanks" making them the latest states to provide accessability and accommodation. Exploring South Dakota’s badlands sounds peachy. Tank you for joining the movement to provide access and mobility to persons with disabilities.
