@aardrian @lukethelibrarian @darrell73 I feel like the whole Talk almost was a passing reference. There was so much to cover. I did mention this article (added it in last night)

@darrell73 - I agree with Adrian‘s experience and your suspicions of how this might have happened. We had one structured negotiation case where the lawyer for the company kept talking about his blind grandfather. After a successful negotiation, I would always say we need the lawyers on the other side to have blind grandparents.

@darrell73 Darrell- breathing a sigh of relief that your job may be protected, is of course something you SHOULD be doing. All the best to you and Alison in navigating these challenging (to say the least) times.

@sbourne @aardrian I can add it to “Accessibility is Delicious” - just say the word. A reader just alerted me to a broken link and when I asked him why he happened to be reading the article now he said “because it’s about food.” Maybe there is a drop of joy reading #a11y food metaphors in this horrible time? https://www.lflegal.com/2020/05/accessibility-is-delicious/

Now I’m grieving. Soon(ish) it’s back to the work of #accessibility and inclusion.

Here’s what I wrote the day after the U.S. election: https://www.lflegal.com/2024/11/harris-defeat/.

Today We Grieve

So many swirling emotions today. November 6, 2024. The day after the United States elected its first felon, a man who is transparent and loud in his cruelty, racism, and disdain for women and their bodies. A man who sees nothing wrong with mocking disabled people. Who praises and advances polici

Also recently updated my article about Project 2025 and its impact on disabled people. New content in the updates linked right after the plain language summary. https://www.lflegal.com/2024/07/project-2025/. #HarrisWalz #Project2025
Project 2025 and the Threat to Disabled People

Project 2025 is a blueprint for a conservative overhaul of the United States government. It offers a frightening, dystopian vision of an America where people are deprived of rights, benefits, and values we have grown accustomed to. And it's on track to become a reality if Donald Trump is elected pre
