Unlearning ableism also includes unlearning self-deprecation.

I used to really loathe myself, but trying to come up with words and terms that weren't ableist made me realize that I actually did not know myself very well at all.

I would catch myself wanting to insult myself after a mistake. The only reasonable thing I could replace an ableist slur with was the truth (which is frustratingly unsatisfying).

*ableist slur towards myself*

Which was replaced by

"I hate myself for messing up because I am not good enough" (still ableist)

Then replaced by

"I am mad at myself for making a mistake and I don't like how it feels to make mistakes" (still not good)

Then

"That felt bad"

Data visualization cares disproportionately far too much about designing for colorblindness relative to other disabilities that are more common (visual impairments included).

(A thread on disability, race, and patriarchy in data visualization.)

~4.5% of people with northern European ancestry are colorblind. But less than half of a percent of women are.

This means that nearly 8% of men from a northern European background have some form of colorblindness.

*Colorblindness affects WHITE MEN the most.*

Why does this matter?

Because designers, scientists, and engineers in our field continue to produce palettes, guides, research, and tools for dealing with colorblindness when visualizing data.

But where are tools and resources for all the other kinds of disabilities out there?!
