If you hate masks, is it 'cause you don't have a capybara mask? BECAUSE I CAN GET YOU A CAPYBARA MASK.
I ALSO HAVE THIS ANGLERFISH MASK. I GET LOTS OF "I LIKE YOUR MASK"S WHEN I WEAR THIS. MAYBE GETTING COMPLIMENTED ON YOUR MASK WILL MAKE YOU MORE LIKELY TO WEAR A MASK.
MAYBE A TONGUE-EATING LOUSE IS MORE YOUR STYLE? YOU DO YOU, BUT WEAR A GODDAMN MASK.
Heyyyyy, everyone wanting to buy a mask! Thanks! But please contact me before buying direct from Contrado. (1) Their printing is unreliable & I have to resubmit art for every size. (2) I have a few unused masks I could sell you at cost. (3) I could do bulk orders for less $$$.

Today I'm attending the symposium "Adapting Comics for Blind and Low Vision Readers" and will try to live-tweet. (At my in-laws' where the internet isn't super reliable, so I may be fading in and out.)

I'll be using the hashtag #ComicsA11y, so mute or follow along as desired!
Nick Sousanis (@Nsousanis), who wrote his dissertation in comic book form and aimed to make his work as accessible as possible but knew that there were people he was still leaving out. He began collecting resources on making comics more accessible. #ComicsA11y
Ting Siu (@TVI_ting) is an educator of people with low vision. "My dream is to have my students walk into a classroom and not encounter any barriers to their education." #ComicsA11y

Last day of this conference! I had to miss the first session, but now I'm in "Best Practices for Communicating through Imagery" with speakers Kathleen Walker and David Pearl. #ihahlc21
Pictograms vs. icons—what's the difference?
Pictograms must be a literal representation. Icons may be literal or abstract.

Pictograms convey a complete idea with no additional explanation needed. #ihahlc21
Pictograms have a lot of different applications—e.g. with COVID-19: showing steps to wash hands, show symptoms, give instructions, showing social distancing. #ihahlc21

Now tweeting from the session "Connecting the social determinants of health and health literacy" with speakers Speaker: Lauri J. DeRuiter-Willems and Jennifer Cannon. #ihahlc21
They recognized a connection between social determinants of health and health literacy, but the connection wasn't as clear to their students. Came up with a privilege activity for participants to self-reflect. #ihahlc21
Activity: 40 questions about privilege with yes/no answers. People move forward with a yes, backward with a no.

It can be intimidating or emotional to end up at the end or the front of the line.

Our history doesn't necessarily reflect our success. #ihahlc21

Next session is Kristen Gosse on "Healthy Content Matters: Bringing Patient Education Online." (I'm listening but may not be able to live-tweet very well because I'm eating.) #ihahlc21
InJoy Health Education is a company that started off as a video-based company, branched off into print materials and, especially this past year, online sessions. #ihahlc21
A few years ago, they added e-classes but there wasn't much uptake by healthcare professionals. Seemed to fear that they would cannibalize in-person sessions or undercut health educators. #ihahlc21

Next session! I'm listening to Brenda Linares's presentation: Librarians partner with the Juntos Center for Advancing Latino Health to provide credible health information. #ihahlc21
In the US, Spanish-speaking immigrants are particularly affected by negative health outcomes associated with low health literacy. Health literacy is a social determinant of health. #ihahlc21
There's a lot of misinformation and mistrust in the Latinx community
•language barriers
•shortage of Spanish-speaking healthcare workers
•fact-checking organizations may not publish their work in Spanish
•rely on family & friends for information #ihahlc21
