Seated mannequins are more than disabled representation. They give wheelchair users an idea of how clothing will look and fit while seated, which is often very from how clothing will look and fit while standing.

I’m only dreaming now, but one thing I’d like to do as an OT is to run a clinic for autistic kids and adults where there are low-risk simulation rooms - like practice dentist offices, classrooms, and grocery stores. But for sensory, not behaviour, to see what accommodations would be helpful!

We aren't becoming something we're not; we're remembering who we've always been. We're born healers, storytellers, artists, and lovers. Our true selves have been here all along. We don't acquire these roles; we uncover them. We're not learning to love;

Far from ableist, cities that work for cycling also work for a variety of mobility devices. But the devil’s in the details: mountable curbs, plentiful curb cuts, smooth asphalt, lane width (minimum 2.3m/7.5ft per direction), visual cues, and gentle gradient (less than 2-4%) for bridges and tunnels.

Yep. I don't get how we have an ever increasing understanding of science, agriculture, nature and tech, and instead of making lives more bearable and sustainable, we decide on going down the hunger games path.

😂🙏 So I appreciate and respect that. I had challenges with my own parents and know it's really hard changing habits. But it's a habit not tech barrier. Jumping from X to Bluesky is a change, but we adapt. One day I hope we create a Facebook UI that is decentralized so switching is then easy.

Thank you. Very helpful. I'm still curious why families need Meta. Share a google drive (or alternative) for notes and photos, gmail, have regular hangouts/zooms. Interest groups organized pre-Meta/FB on websites and forums. Why give centralized power, when the Web can host and network already?

To clarify, that's not on you. You are amazing keeping us informed, focused, and encouraged. I'm just trying to see how people can feel less individual gameplans and more collective action to counterweight. I haven't seen clear leaders emerge yet and trying to figure out. Thank you for your work 🫶
