UGH! ANOTHER app going to subscription model. Most of us hate this model and it's not feasible for personal use or small businesses! The latest is @techsmith.com. Unfair to self-employed/small biz. We'll fall behind not being able to use the apps.

How did you learn how to type? What about cursive? Schools don't teach it anymore ... but signing our names in print doesn't have much character.

With a name like mine, I've always worked to learn how to say people's names correctly and call them by their preferred names. But I won't always get it right for reasons beyond my control. https://buff.ly/3QdbCiD #Communication

Twitter's former engineering manager for accessibility warns the same message too. Americans, don't just ignore and stay silent. As @meryl.bsky.social suggests, contact your reps. Boycott brands that cancel DEIA programs. Remember, disability can happen at any time in your life. #uspoli #cdnpoli

Facts about FAA hiring. This is accurate. I wouldn’t qualify for an air traffic controller job because I’m deaf and speak with an accent. It’s not discrimination. They’re a core requirement for the job. edition.pagesuite.com/popovers/dyn...
