We need to build on past achievements, expand our ideas of the possible, and move toward a shared vision of the future—with disabled people at the forefront of the push toward justice. https://t.co/TNY5npGpzz

@AaronGustafson @jennylayfluffy @Microsoft Ha. Nah, you don’t have shoes to fill, you have jet packs to innovate. Shoes are for walking and rolling; I’m looking forward to y’all flying.

[Wendy Chisholm @wendyabc]

@AaronGustafson @jennylayfluffy @Microsoft Wooohooo! Congratulations!!

[Wendy Chisholm @wendyabc]

@LFLegal @cherrybombc2 Thank you. +1 for Lainey

Gut-wrenching and powerful reporting by @HannahFurfaro for @stmentalhealth. “The medical system has little incentive to build” the supports necessary since “Mental health care is a money-losing proposition.” https://t.co/DVSKnPKyPf

Check out this video from @E4TechEquity on intersectionality and equitable access to tech and society for people with disabilities.

[MSFT Accessibility @MSFTEnable]

The intersection of disability and other identities can create social and technological barriers for people in these communities. We believe investments in disability intersectionality are key for advancing on our goal to bridge the disability divide. ✨

Blogged for the first time since 2018...it might be time to resurrect this thing. Falling or blooming...with style? https://t.co/zLzPthnF3E

@mpaciello Thanks Mike!

[Wendy Chisholm @wendyabc]

Thank you @TechThomas and Team @Equal_Entry for the thoughtful questions and the opportunity to share some of my thoughts on AI, innovation, and #DesignJustice.

[Thomas Logan / Techトーマス @TechThomas]

The newest @Equal_Entry #Accessibility Activist Q&A is with @wendyabc of @microsoft's #AI for Accessibility where she talks about design justice and other things: https://t.co/vAEN4Xbags #A11y

[Wendy Chisholm @wendyabc]

@jntrnr It's been fun to sit with the question and to hear some other responses from folks. Advocate comes closest...but it doesn't sound as action-oriented as I feel. And it isn't just accessibility, it's equity. Perhaps I am (or becoming) a Design Justice Advocate?

[Wendy Chisholm @wendyabc]

@jennifer_leigh omg that sounds amazing.

[Wendy Chisholm @wendyabc]

@jntrnr It feels funny to be called "accessibility expert"--there is still so much I don't know given all of the differences in peoples' lived experiences and so much is changing so quickly. What should I call myself these days?

[Wendy Chisholm @wendyabc]

@jntrnr ha! I love it. I'd be ok with that. It was great to connect and LAUGH with you! <3

[Wendy Chisholm @wendyabc]

"The world we live in is not working. We have these multifaceted crises — health crises, economic crises, societal crises, racial crises, environmental issues, geopolitical tensions." True. And, the disability divide and other inequities. #stakeholdercapitalism #designjustice

[Jacqueline Novogratz @jnovogratz]

I like how @HubertJoly_ thinks, and more important, how he operates - putting stakeholder capitalism into action. Good Corner Office interview https://t.co/pOhp9KA6nS ...#moralimagination

[Wendy Chisholm @wendyabc]

Yes. Yes. Yes. Design justice is how and stakeholder capitalism is what is needed to create an equitable, sustainable economy and world that is increasingly powered by #AI.

[Tamara McCleary @TamaraMcCleary]

How stakeholder capitalism and #AI #ethics go hand in hand https://t.co/nQhkRlwkIX via @VentureBeat

[Wendy Chisholm @wendyabc]

These are so good.

Do not let the fact
that it could have been
even worse
lead you to forget
that it did not have to be
this bad.
