Twitter Just Rolled Out a Feature That’s Inaccessible to Disabled Users
Twitter introduced a voice tweet feature for iOS users, which immediately faced backlash for being inaccessible to disabled users, particularly those who are deaf or hard of hearing. Critics and disability rights advocates highlighted the lack of captions and the potential harm to users with photosensitive epilepsy. Twitter apologized and promised to make improvements, but the feature remains active. The incident reflects broader issues of digital inaccessibility and ableism in social media platforms, despite the resources available to address these concerns. The article suggests that a proactive approach to accessibility is necessary for inclusive design.
Lufthansa Group suspends nighttime flights to Beirut amid Israel-Hezbollah fighting
Lufthansa Group has suspended nighttime flights to Beirut due to ongoing fighting between Israel and Hezbollah. The article also covers various other topics including a probe against a protest leader, a judicial appointment in Israel, and updates on the Palestinian team for the Paris Olympics. Additionally, it mentions the IDF's actions in Gaza, a Hezbollah member's death, and Netanyahu's stance on PA involvement in Gaza. Other stories include vandalism in Seattle, a medical innovation in Israel, and a US Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity.
The Taliban Is Targeting Disability Rights Activists
The Taliban's takeover of Kabul has put disability rights activists at significant risk, particularly those associated with US-funded projects. Activists like A are being targeted, forcing them to flee and hide. Isabel Hodge from the United States International Council on Disabilities highlights the dire situation, noting that none of the identified activists have been evacuated. The article criticizes the Biden administration for not prioritizing disabled individuals during the evacuation process and underscores the broader challenges faced by disabled Afghans, including lack of infrastructure and systemic ableism. The international community's response has been inadequate, leaving many activists and their families in peril.
The Adoption and Safe Families Act should be repealed
The Adoption and Safe Families Act, marking its 25th anniversary, is criticized for perpetuating family separation in the United States, particularly in Philadelphia. The act, which encourages adoption by terminating parental rights if a family cannot reunify within 15 months, is seen as discriminatory and a tool of family destruction. The author argues for the repeal of the law and the reimagining of child protection to focus on preserving families through support measures like universal basic income, health care, and affordable housing, rather than separating them.
Shadow is the Corpse of the Sun
A poem reflecting on the metaphorical death of the sun, exploring themes of imperfection, the passage of time, and the interplay between gravity and electromagnetics. It delves into the human condition and the monumental nature of seemingly random events, drawing parallels with personal and familial experiences.
The rise of remote jobs is huge for deaf applicants like me — but dated hiring formats are holding us back
Remote jobs offer significant accessibility benefits for deaf applicants, but outdated hiring practices and inadequate videoconferencing tools create barriers. Despite being qualified, the author struggles with interviews due to poor captioning and the reluctance to disclose their disability. The unemployment rate for disabled individuals remains high, exacerbated by the pandemic. Employers need to improve their interview processes by using better captioning tools, training interviewers, and proactively offering interpreting services to create a more inclusive environment.
