[James Robinson @ByJamesRobinson]

For the past year, I’ve been working on a series with @nytopinion that profiles 3 people with 3 different conditions. Just as in ‘Whale Eyes,’ I’ve focussed on adaptations that we can all make in order to better connect. Here’s a sneak peak. First episode drops tomorrow.

[Benjamin Hoffman @BenHoffmanNYT]

Those of us whose eyes don’t track together learn a *lot* about how many people view us by looking at social media when anyone with our condition does something people don’t like.

Unless the person fell down an escalator, their nontracking eyes probably aren’t the issue.

Several doctors and nurses inside Iran helped us tell this story with the team at @nytopinion by sharing accounts and images from inside hospitals, revealing details of the regime's bloody crackdown on unarmed protesters last month.

I was shaken by their descriptions of the violence but also inspired by their selflessness and courage.

The Iranian regime massacred its own citizens when protests swept the country last month. As injured and dying protesters flooded hospitals, medical workers began smuggling evidence of that violence and brutality out to the rest of the world, despite the risk to their own lives.

With @FJamalpour @frantrinani and @ByJamesRobinson @elliotdebruyn @nytimes
رژیم ایران وقتی ماه گذشته اعتراض‌ها سراسر کشور را فرا گرفت، شهروندان خودش را قتل‌عام کرد. با سرازیر شدن معترضانِ زخمی و در حال مرگ به بیمارستان‌ها، کادر درمان با وجود خطر برای جان خودشان، شروع کردند شواهد آن خشونت و بی‌رحمی را مخفیانه به بیرون از کشور و به جهان منتقل کنند. | 📷

Amazing presentation to school today from the talented @ByJamesRobinson about his work and book "Whale Eyes." Always great to meet with a former student - this visit was too short! Everyone should check out his work.

[Nicholas Kristof @NickKristof]

Secretary of State Marco Rubio claims that no one has died because of his aid cuts. This is my @nytopinion video response to hold him accountable.

[Nicholas Kristof @NickKristof]

Congrats to my @nytopinion colleague @ByJamesRobinson on his powerful new book, "Whale Eyes" -- a heartfelt memoir about disability, how we're seen and how people see us.

Huge congrats to @ByJamesRobinson who won an Emmy for his @nytopinion doc on stuttering! I was so honored when he asked me to share my experience for the project: https://t.co/K4DsB5qUNh

“It just feels like a breach of fiduciary responsibility.”

Staff for the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke learned that the board hadn't been presented program budgets during a 5-hour meeting. @CDSDuke

Horrifying CCTV reveals the final moments of an Indiana man’s life while in police custody in a new @nytopinion video. Officially, Jarod Draper died from an “acute methamphetamine overdose.” But that claim glosses over the events leading up to his death. https://t.co/jATUcs8pMT

[John Hendrickson @JohnGHendy]

I’m so grateful for today https://t.co/vNfoIDglNZ

@ATErickson Wish I had seen this when we released but we do have audio descriptions--the link is here: https://t.co/OoQWgBnR2b. To turn them on, go to settings - audio track and select 'English descriptive.' Thanks for the kind words!

Read about the Portland filmmaker behind the much-praised "Adapt-Ability" video series on the @nytimes website in August. https://t.co/rAPAOJZ46M

[Adam B. Ellick @aellick]

The final episode of our 4-part NYT Opinion Video series. “Adapt-Ability” invites you to confront discomfort with disability. w/ @nytopinion by @ByJamesRobinson https://t.co/2OBzMXuwDU

[New York Times Opinion @nytopinion]

We’ve all been there: You run into people on the street, and you suspect you’ve met them before — but you just can't place them. Multiply that experience many times over and you might start to get an idea of what it feels like to be Paul Kram.

[Jessica Helfand @jessicahelfand]

Another superb film by James Robinson. The underlying theme of kindness in every one of these just knocks me out. @nytimes @ByJamesRobinson https://t.co/5Jh5eTLYxp

[James Robinson @ByJamesRobinson]

The final episode of "Adapt-Ability" is about face blindness--a condition that remains somewhat little-known, in spite of the fact that as many as 1 in 50 people have it. Watch now: https://t.co/CaLniP8Ioz

[John Hendrickson @JohnGHendy]

Thanks to @DLeonhardt for this thoughtful (and overwhelming) write-up. And thanks to @ByJamesRobinson for the months of craft that went into the entire Adapt-Ability series. James is an unbelievably talented filmmaker. His next video comes out tomorrow: https://t.co/0vBObrYcYY
