I've been thinking a lot about how "accessibility" has become such a popular term yet inequities for people with disabilities are still at large. So I drank some quality coffee and put pen (keystrokes?) to paper (computer?). Here's the final product: https://t.co/1F6prK0VV8 #a11y

Thanks @TechnicallyPHL for the article! Datasets such as this can provide a lot of insights that can empower us all to advocate for a more accessible public transit system. It's always great to have local media support! #a11y

[Ather Sharif (he/him) @athersharif]

Had a remarkable time and experience attending #TASASV. It was great meeting so many amazing folks from @WalmartLabs @googleaccess @MSFTEnable @Apple @fbaccess @verizonmedia talking about #a11y. Thanks @teachaccess @uwcse @AccessCompUW for making it possible!

Relying on @SEPTAPHILLY elevators? Here are some things you should know about. https://t.co/Wwe0lE0jh8 #philly #a11y

Join me and @jamestyack by RT this so we can get @SEPTAPHILLY to improve the accessibility of public transportation in #philly!

Honored and excited to be a Keynote Speaker at the 2019 @EvergreenILS International Conference! I'll be talking about accessibility and open source, and of course, cats. Philly friends, hoping to see you all there! There will be Zoey's stickers (new ones!) https://t.co/Nqc5mYPYDW

Being an alum of @ADA25AdvLeaders's Leadership Institute for emerging leaders with disabilities, I have seen myself grow not only career wise but also as an advocate. Now it's your turn! —> https://t.co/7x3B6orFWl

THANK YOU @linode for continuing to sponsor and supporting us. We really appreciate you all responding to our call for sponsors and getting the ball rolling at the speed of light. ❤️

[EvoXLabs @EvoXLabs]

Huge shoutout and thanks to @linode for giving us the infrastructure credit to host our projects over the past couple of years, which has helped us tremendously! The credit is almost about to expire and we are looking a hosting sponsor. Any interest @linode @digitalocean @Vultr?

[Ather Sharif (he/him) @athersharif]

If your role or title is anything close to “Diversity Champion” and you don’t think about or consider people with disabilities in diversity related matters then you might as well change your title to “Kinda Diversity Champion”. Would be accurate.

[EvoXLabs @EvoXLabs]

This needs fixing. Right. Now. @nicomollet @mapicons https://t.co/vOl9TTdRUv

[Ather Sharif (he/him) @athersharif]

love the icons you’ve created at https://t.co/P9TtD2iWci @nicomollet but as someone with a disability, I find “incapable” extremely inaccurate and offensive. Also, “handicap” is no longer a politically correct term to refer to people with disabilities. Please fix this ASAP.

Had a great time being on the UX Design for Accessibility panel @DePaulU with @lizdavis__ and @cariefisher #a11y #ux
