Mensen met een migratieachtergrond worden bij hetzelfde criminele gedrag vaker als verdachte aangemerkt en vervolgens vaker veroordeeld, stellen Arjen Leerkes en Willemijn Bezemer.

.@gmail i use a high contrast screen: cant see settings, cant see next/previous email, cant see attachments (incl not IF r any), cant see how to send an attachment, i can't buttons for discarding, formatting, forwarding/subject etc, how to close/save #everydayableism #ITableism

[dissability @dissability]

..or how to minimise.. and HOLY F, now you also MOVED other formatting options, so remembering location doesnt even help.

hi @gmail, i've been reverting your update, but today can't anymore. the new inbox is #inaccessible. nothing new, none of yr updates are accessible. but would be cool if you'd listen to disabled users. when will you make changes so i can see my email again? #everydayableism

If you are interested in academic discussion around disability and intersectionality and what Brexit may mean for disabled people, this may give you food for thought. https://t.co/RpdLvQe54Y

.@usabilla would you happen to have a ppt meta template available that works for people who're colour blind, but also who got other stuff, e.g. dyslexia or need high contrast designs?

[dissability @dissability]

.@usabilla your website is v useful. looking at the colour blind suggestions page now. re the following page: https://t.co/BICDSUtnEP; for people with vision impairments, sans serif is better for both print and digital texts!

dear @DrFrancesRyan - have you seen this? https://t.co/dWaQKYRZqc people are afraid to speak out so it seems...

[dissability @dissability]

hi @ESRC - i've signed up to your newsletter, but would rather prefer a weekly digest than daily. i cannot seem to find out how to do that. could you signpost me, please? thank you

[dissability @dissability]

and the funny thing: I CANT SEE SETTINGS SO CANT CHANGE IT BACK @gmail @googleaccess #INACCESSIBLE #everydayableism

[dissability @dissability]

and as if life's not hectic enough, you wake up to @gmail @Google completely being #inaccessible.. this is probably their 'update', because updates r progress #not. seriously, @googleaccess when are y gonna make work of yr #accessibility commitment? pls dont be another #Windows

[dissability @dissability]

i use high contrast screen (firefox follows system settings). issues: outlines gone, cant see arrows +images, no alt-text, no underlying indication of what i'm hovering over, completely #inaccessible, lousy performance, but nothing new from @googleaccess #everydayableism

@jobsacuk can you please add 'date placed' to all ads, including to the overview page? right now i've no idea what i'm looking at (when they were posted, whether i'm seeing new ads etc). thanks

[dissability @dissability]

this is exactly what i need: include the content of the flyer as text on the page

[Neurodiversity Training UK @NeurodiversityT]

@dissability Can you ring the office and tell them exactly what you need

[dissability @dissability]

the flyer's content is not available as text, so browse aloud does not help, and can also not be enlarged. i need to be able to see text that i can enlarge. could you include the content of the flyer as text on the page re accessibility, please? thank you

[Neurodiversity Training UK @NeurodiversityT]

@dissability Browse aloud is avaialable if you view on our website

[dissability @dissability]

@jobsacuk hello, i understood that, i was just pointing out that in practice it does not function smoothly because of the logic behind it, the way job adverts are categorised etc.

[dissability @dissability]

@jobsacuk it is clearer now what you are intending to do visually re selecting (the colour is on high contrast more greyed, but might be different on regular settings), however this does not work on a properly high contrast mode on a Windows laptop (the contrast is also v low!)

[dissability @dissability]

@jobsacuk i've also checked the updated website on my phone (Android, Samsung browser, accessibility high contrast mode setting. reading comments from others and your response, i removed the app and reinstalled it to avoid cookies issues (i couldnt see how to manually delete 'm)
