Disability accommodations are a rare thing that actually trickles down. You like curb cutouts? Auto-opening doors? Jar openers? Ramps? Hand rails? YOU’RE WELCOME

Even as an abled person you use disability accommodations every single day.

Supporting accommodations actually helps everyone.

By the way your glasses are disability accommodations too.

Also I don’t care if this post is grammatically correct (had someone correct me on similar grammar on Threads booooo)

[Genuine] so if it’s like an intern/coworker (depending on the thing you’re doing), what about the humans that could be hired to fill those roles?

Please assume all of my replies to others’ is genuine. It doesn’t always come off that way when I type. It’s a deaf/neurodivergent thing for me

There are exceptions but I love this community of brain weirdos

LOL is that a litter box?? I love how majestic it looks with the time semi-hidden in the back 😂

Genuine: If you think software engineers should use AI/LLMs, why?

Indiana Picking Up The Pieces Tornados Swept Through Indiana

A related news article: www.cbsnews.com/news/indiana...

The green skies are suuuper eerie. I've seen that quite a few times. Idk if I've ever heard the train roar though, but we can blame that on the hearing loss. Which is probably why I'm so extra fearful of tornados (I can't hear them or the alerts!!!)

EF4 tornado on Jun. 11, 1998 18:20 PM EDT A tornado initially touched down on Indianapolis' far east side in Cumberland destroying six buildings and damaging nearly eighty. The tornado continued east-northeast into Hancock County before diss...

June 11, 1998 in Cumberland, Indiana is my earliest memory. I wasn't even 4 yet. My Grandma lived in an apartment complex next to the day care that was significantly damaged. I can vividly remember watching the dark clouds swell "above" the building behind us.

I could use a pick-me-up. If there's something you like about my work, would you be willing to share? I'm in a pretty rough spot right now. (It's anonymous btw.)

I'm a fan of most genres of nerd-ery. Thank you for the lesson!!! Not that I live by any sort of body of water 😆

One of my earliest memories is a tornado I saw at 3.5 years old!

Idk if it's scientifically sound, but they might think the body of water helps protect? Fwiw it's not super close yet but I wouldn't be recording lol. I'd be in my closet with the dogs and likely a glass of wine! I'm usually the first to take shelter out of all my fam

Idk if you’re a midwesterner, but a lot of us stand outside looking for tornados in storms as a hobby??? I’m a midwesterner but can’t relate, I’ve been through multiple tornados. Shit’s traumatizing 😂

That’s like 80% of public health work; distilling information down so the majority of people can understand and talk about it. We actually train for this! We take trainings on how to interview people, how to phrase things in ways that people are more receptive to. We do focus groups an experiments.

Brilliant thread

So desperately, I just want to read, study, and write. A challenging career change to make by default.

I love reading what other people have to say. It brings me immense comfort in my darkest times.

So why do I find it so hard to believe that other people might care about what I have to say?

Being self employed is cool for SEVERAL personal accessibility reasons.

It also sucks at times because RSD and you’re always exposed to lead/client comms (or lack of).

Trying to rebuild my confidence post-micromanagement (again) and it’s so hard. Being the brokest I’ve ever been doesn’t help.

I couldn’t say. Public health isn’t my area of expertise, I’m also not a historian of it. I work in digital accessibility which is adjacent. But there are entire degrees and areas of study about this. There is so much nuance and history that has to be taken into consideration. Not a binary.

Because most of the public hasn't heard of the formal term "vaccine-hesitant"

He didn't group them together though? He said "a lot of these parents are more accurately described as vaccine hesitant"
