I'm looking for a creative disabled writer or poet who might be interested in writing Alt-Text descriptions for an organization on an as needed basis. Paid per description, either as income or in gift card format so as not to put benefits at risk.
Also, what would be a good rate for a single Alt-Text description? I imagine the monthly range of work required would be anywhere from five to twenty descriptions.
Would be a great gig for someone who hasn't been given their shot professionally, and could use a bit of a resume boost.
Seeking someone with the cultural competency to describe different races, ethnicities, body types and sizes with with precision and care.
I'm opening up my DMs. If you're interested, will you send me a favorite Alt Text description you have written?
I will be accepting submissions until 5pm EST on this Friday (7/2).

Sorry for the spoiler, but this is a great GBB thread
I also want to point out that they created a challenge that was entirely inaccessible to Laura. She was crying out, I need to go back and check, but I believe her words were that her brain does not work in a linear way. She said this multiple times, clearly in distress...
Laura is clearly neurodivergent, that’s what she was stating. But there were no efforts to accommodate her. And when you look at the shape of her patisserie, it is clear she was unable to fill in gaps that the other contestants were able to.

Because this is clearly going to make the rounds, this is an Alt Text thread. The image is a chart, containing four colored rows. The left most row is green, titled thriving, subhead "I got this". The next row is yellow and says surviving subhead "Something isn't right."
The next is orange and says struggling, subhead "I can't keep this up." And the right most row is red and says crisis, subhead "I can't survive this."
Thriving: Calm and steady with minor mood fluctuations. Able to take things in stride. Consistent performance. Able to take feedback and to adjust to changes of plans. Able to focus. Able to communicate effectively. Normal sleep patterns and appetite.

Check out this reveal Storefront with a sign that says we honor the Americans withShot from further away shows the sign is on a door that is u
Alt Text Update: awkwardly I didn't read the sign below the ADA sign, and didn't include it in my alt text. But comments have made me aware that I need to update this post with Alt Text that describes the second sign. Because holy shit. The sign reads:
"Due to HIPAA and the 4th Amendment, we can't legally ask you about your medical condition. If we see you without a mask, we will assume you have a medical condition and we will welcome you inside to support our business."

This is a #MuseumsAreNotNeutral thread: 

Four months ago, @DesignMuseum reached out to me informing me that a project of mine had been shortlisted for their #BeazleyDesignsoftheYear.
I responded asking about accessibility as well as what disabled experts they were consulting. The remainder of the conversation did not go well.
My last email to them was "Question for you. How would you respond to this email if you were on the receiving end of it?"

It wasn’t just Epstein’s reputation that made him Voldemort. It was what they were working toward. I wish someone would hear me out on this. There’s so much public facing evidence. #MITEugenicsLab
If you search MIT Media Lab for 'Disability' you get headlines such as 'Machines to Banish Disability' and 'Defeating Disability'. MIT Media Lab was doing with Tech what Hitler was doing with Medicine during WWII.
I first noticed it when Pioneer in NYC gave Hugh Herr of MIT Media Lab a platform to amplify his aim to 'eradicate disability'

I never write threads. And so I hope my disabled friends and my supporters will take a moment to read this, as I am beginning to fall apart over things that keep happening. Advice and retweets would be much supported.
It started a year ago when @cooperhewitt asked me to consult on their Access + Ability exhibit. I jumped in without pause, as Disability Design is my passion.
In an early email I sought to "find incredible ways to incorporate the disability community, perhaps even create something the disability community can feel like they had a voice in."
