Please understand something: if a Disabled person has to ask someone else for access to something – an elevator; a written transcript; an environment that accommodates their disabilities – that thing is not accessible.

@annaecook Accessibility! So much to learn. 💜

“Data-driven” decision: This affects a small number of people, so we won’t fix it.

Values-driven decision: This excludes or harms a small number of otherwise disadvantaged people; that’s not ok, so we’ll fix it.

The metrics you focus on are never neutral.

Hello, @Sciensus_Group, you have the monopoly on delivering vital medication, medication that keeps me in work, functioning and alive.

In the past week I’ve waited in three times for you deliver my injections. Three times you’ve failed to deliver. Why? 🧵
