@clb5590 is here to tell us that there is already an active and robust Blind Maker community that we can collaborate with and learn from.

#ASSETS2019 #CripTheACM
Despite the fact that many maker technologies are inaccessible to develop for, Blind hobbyists and makers have been forging their own #CripTechnoscience to make and build their own artifacts.

#ASSETS2019 #CripTheACM
@clb5590 reminds us that publishing work done with community activists can be extractive and exploitative and we need to be conscious not to profit off of the deprivation and enginuity of others.

#ASSETS2019 #CripTheACM
We are responsible for navigating these tensions by communicating effectively with our Co informants, validating and revalidating consent, and proving a commitment to redistribution of resources to the communities we are gaining knowledge from.

Response to these arguments.

[Thread]

The moral argument isnt something I can really respond to as there is no specific argument made here. The common moral arguments made against Islam by Christians can be found in their bible, and at times even worst.

The reason the Jews disliked and attempted to kill Jesus a.s was not because of what he preached. The killing of Prophets is something the early community of that religion were known for even in the bible, despite the fact they all preached monotheism.

An Al Qaeda Leader Came to America as a Refugee, And Applied for Disability for Bullet Wounds. Pentagon later hired him to Teach Troops about Iraqi Culture disq.us/t/3lx367o
Despite the Al Qaeda leader’s supposed disability, he was able to work as a military contractor in California for the Pentagon and to open a driving school, the A-Plus Driving School, in Phoenix.
Iraqis were the number one refugee group resettled everywhere from Alabama to Virginia. But Arizona had the highest share of Iraqis in any state outside Michigan's Islamic enclaves. Al-Nouri became one of 12,329 Iraqi refugees operating in Arizona.

The Beer Hall Putsch was the failed coup in Munich in 1923, led by Hitler. I will show that—like most everything else in the 20th century—it was faked.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beer_Hall…
We can tell it was faked without much effort, since the story makes no sense. If we go to Wikipedia for the mainstream gloss, the first clue we get is with the early mention of Marxism.
We are told that Hitler and other revolutionaries were angry about the outcome of WW1, believing the German army to have been betrayed by its leaders. We will leave the question of whether they were betrayed open for now, since it has nothing to do with the clue.

As associate producer for the show @SeeOfficial, I can tell you the entire cast and crew worked together to challenge misconceptions about #blindness and bring all viewers into our world. Here are some of the ways we did that:
The #blind / #Blindness community gave ongoing input on scripts & creative direction to depict blindness respectfully and authentic to world of SEE. Our cast includes blind and low-vision actors. We want to open doors to roles that historically have only gone to sighted peers
We asked all our actors, both sighted and #blind, what format they would like their scripts in for accessibility. Many said they’d never been offered a choice before and even sighted actors started using VoiceOver and Voice Dream Reader to learn their lines. @AppleTVPlus

A Swiss court recently ruled against Caster Semenya, upholding the IAAF’s new DSD regulations, effectively banning her from competition.

But did you know that the scientific justification for the regulations centres upon a single discredited study? 1/37

bit.ly/2SQksnW
In 2011, following the rise to prominence of Semenya amid often disgraceful and intrusive media coverage, the IAAF introduced new hyperandrogenism regulations, restricting participation in women’s events to those with serum testosterone levels below 10nmol/L. 2/37
These regulations were overturned in 2015 following a lawsuit brought by a Dutee Chand.

The court ruled that the IAAF had produced no evidence that endogenous differences in women contributed to a significant athletic advantage. 3/37

So, I've waded through the Evangelical Alliance's new pastoral "guidelines" for interacting with trans people (ughh, the things I do to expose #transphobic #ciswits to the world), and let's just say it's time to tear this particular sh*t-bag a new hole.

So, straight off the bat, first page of text, the use of #language is . . . well, yeah, see for yourself:

"It is important to remember that transgender is not simply an issue to be debated;" - p5, #Transformed

*sigh*

When such language gets reinforced by insisting...
