[Spencer van Vloten @SpencerVanCity]

It bothers me how unmoved by homelessness people in big cities have become. Someone in a bad place, sprawled on the concrete, barely draws a glance of concern

I guess people are desensitized to what they see continually #vancouver #bc #bcpoli #bchousing

Disabled advocates have fought to end the use of electric shocks at the JRC for decades. The bipartisan effort to #StopTheShock was included in the House bill—now the Senate must do the same. https://t.co/h35JG2MWdt

Today's win: explained to a sighted security guard that "be careful" is not a welcoming reaction when a cane is about to contact something. If a gentle cane tap finds it, that's success: the cane user gets the information. No need to stop cane contact from happening.

@TELUSsupport Hey just double checking that you got my DMs. I don't know if those always show up if we aren't following each other.

[Mashable @mashable]

Integrating robots into assistive care could be a game changer.

[Spencer van Vloten @SpencerVanCity]

Often a story's written or a comment's made about how someone facing a barrier achieved X, Y, or Z, hinting that people in similar situations can all do likewise

But what works for 1 person may not work for others, and specific cases of success don't reduce the need to do better
