@AxsRespons64530 Thanks, I appreciate that

@axs Not sure what the point of your "customer service" phone line is. Called in to purchase #Disability accessible tickets, because I couldn't purchase 3 online the way your system is set up, and had a rude agent tell me I needed to purchase 4 and she couldn't help.

@AmericanAir hold to talk to a Special Assistance Coordinator is >30 minutes... just to ask for a simple disability seat accommodation I've already explained over email. Yet another #DisabilityTax on our time...

ChatGPT is biased against resumes with credentials that imply a disability — but it can improve https://t.co/eL07npTI7z

I appreciate the conversation on our work and the analysis by Holst et al (https://t.co/0Pm7gqWZkm) (discussed in this thread today: https://t.co/wym1qBGVGL).

Globally, more than a billion people have a disability.

♿ Persons with disabilities face a shocking lack of support to cope with disasters. In UNDRR's 2023 Global Survey Report on Persons with Disabilities and Disasters, 84% of respondents reported not having a personal preparedness plan for disasters. 👉 https://t.co/e9S94qSF5d

@AskTSA Your site implies that if disabled passengers can't hold the required position for the "advanced imaging technology" then can choose the standard metal detector screening if able to walk through. Can a passenger be forced to a pat-down instead? (https://t.co/lTlA0ocSTD)

@MishaTeplitskiy @SimonBowmaker Also... make the undergraduate a coauthor?

[Molly M. King @mollymking]

@jw_lockhart me please!

The longer people are in academia, the more they realize that when reading papers it's best to ignore Intro, Discussion etc. and just look at Methods and Results

As we faculty start courses and receive requests for disability accommodations, a friendly reminder: "fear of the disability con" is one of the most insidious types of ableism. Believe your students! https://t.co/DoXQhTc32V (Quote based on research by @DorfmanDoron)

Useful perspective on the inequality from credit card rewards programs. "Wealthy cardholders use credit for about 50 percent of their purchases, more than double the rate of those whose income is closer to the national median."

[Brookings Econ @BrookingsEcon]

Those [credit card] rewards are “an untaxed kickback,” said @Aarondklein.

“The payment system is silently becoming a reverse Robin Hood, generating billions in untaxed side income for rich people.”
