For the first time in more than 70 years, women took the field in a professional baseball game. Dreams that generations fought for are finally becoming reality. Here’s to every girl who has ever been told, “Baseball isn’t for you.” Keep proving them wrong💪 #WomensSports #SheShed #ViVaHerAlliance

On Yom HaShoah, we pause to remember the millions of Jewish lives lost during the Holocaust. We must recommit ourselves to confronting antisemitism with urgency and resolve because Never Again is our responsibility.

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it. This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.

Not considering how the new area would affect the sightlines is ridiculous. So often it seems like disabled viewing areas are an afterthought. I've been to shows where I could see nothing, no jumbotron, no stage, becuase the ADA section was entirely obstructed when everyone stood. #sdisability 1/

I've seen this a few times in the #BuschGardens #Seaworld #ADA discourse so: No, a wheelchair is not a substitute for a rollator with a seat. At all. "but you can just push the empty chair and sit when you're tired!" Mhmm. Which can make that empty wheelchair tip really easily. 1/

Good. No, a rollator, wheelchair and ECV are not interchangeable. The mobility device a disabled person is using is the one THEY need. I hope this will be a deterrent for anyone else trying to ban rollators. #disability www.wfla.com/news/florida...

There's a pretty deliberate and disingenuous conflation of assistive AI and generative AI to make the latter seem beneficial, as well. The AI that helps drive a car isn't the same as the AI that scraped millions of works of art to generate a profile pic for someone and that gets lost.

Remember, there are MANY artists with disabilities out there who still use traditional methods to make art in their own beautiful way. Saying Gen AI can help those who are disabled is a smokescreen for fascists to help push poison into the areas resistant to AI bullshit.

I actually agree that there is going to be a skill gap between people who regularly use AI vs those who refuse to use it, and it's that after the bubble pops the refusers will be fine while the AI-dependent will be missing or have let atrophy basic skills

When European countries were handing over their Jewish populations to Germany as Hitler invaded, Denmark was the one that stood strong to protect and hide its 7500 Jews. A vast majority of those lives were thus saved.
