Tennis tuesday! 🎾💚 Here is what a tennis ball used in blind/visually impaired tennis sounds like.

@medicalmodelbri @LeanneHPatrick I’m also irked by them wanting to be ‘medical professionals’ to denote working in healthcare. What is wrong with HCP?

[Rachel Morgan @minirmorgan]

@DrSdeG No sauce needed. It has a slightly sweet taste, not at all grassy. Much less powder than a iced latte i’d have thought.

[Rachel Morgan @minirmorgan]

@DrSdeG Mix matcha powder directly into the flour.

In Vermont, @VTAdaptive takes an "adaptive-optimized" vs. "adaptive-friendly" approach to making mountain biking trails - both existing and new - #accessible for every rider. 🚵 #BlindNewWorld

@blindandb0ujee I am sure they could be sued by a vi using the equality act.

[Rachel Morgan @minirmorgan]

@blindandb0ujee I have asked my primary supervisor if he wants to do some research into this. Our position with lots of tech is that ots for platform governance to ensure safety, not banning tech.

[Rachel Morgan @minirmorgan]

Why is it either blind people themselves or organisation that represent us have the most inaccessible social media content?! Alt text isn’t that difficult people.

@haleemahsadiaa It is tagged as being made with AI, but you couldn’t take two seconds to AI generated alt text so the image is accessible to other blind or visually impaired people?

[Rachel Morgan @minirmorgan]

And here we have yet another hating on people with disabilities. Cue people shouting at women they don’t need mobility aids….

@aldenejones Congratulations!

@juliemac1000 You should judge. Children can’t give informed consent so no one should post them publicly not knowing what will happen to their images.

@AaronBastani Similar position. Lost my sight in GCSE year and returned to studying later. Made it to UCL for PhD. Terrified my disability will hold me back not because it exists but for fear of positive discrimination despite my clear ability.

It isn’t just this. Its those of us who have the right talents, reasons and attitudes for HE but then thinking why bother?

[Prof Ian Pace @drianpace]

This is about much more than Jason Arday. It is about a culture in academia from the last 10 years or so, which has embraced hatred and total intolerance towards dissent. The culture that embraced Arday is the same one which drives out gender-critical academics.

[Rachel Morgan @minirmorgan]

Not commenting on Arday, but I can’t help but feel this kind of narrative will push already marginalized people out of academia. I can already confirm you can be talented but still pushed aside.

[Neil O'Brien @NeilDotObrien]

The Arday scandal revealed the rot in our universities - a guy producing reams of meaningless garbage was promoted & praised to high heaven. But he's not unique. My new piece looks at the growth of DEI / critical theory rubbish in our universities, using large datasets:

Who thought politicians playing dress as police officers was a good thing
Alt text (AI): Two people wearing high-vis police vests stand in front of a marked police van. One wears a dark suit beneath the vest, while the other wears a white shirt and black cap with POLICE on it.

[Conservatives @Conservatives]

We know whose side we are on.

If you work hard, play by the rules and do the right thing, Conservatives are on your side.

But if you break the law, we will hold you to account.

A Conservative government led by @KemiBadenoch will bring back consequences for crime.
