Hannah Kolbeck 🏳️‍⚧️: "Not discounting #AltText as im…" - disabled.social

Not discounting #AltText as important, but Bluesky crystallized that it's prioritized because it’s what sighted users know. It’s what’s asked of them. Bluesky did some excellent alt text features while the site was unusable with a screen reader and then ignored all the Blind people about that until they went away. My technical work will stay directed in that area because that's where my skills are useful, but it's definitely a thing I try to be conscious of. #Accessibility #A11y

Op-Ed: The Destruction of Twitter Is Disastrous for Disabled People

For many disabled people, Twitter has served as a place of validation and acceptance long before COVID-19. After years of being ignored by medical professionals or being dismissed by family and friends, we found a community that seemed to say, "We believe you."

How poverty, not pain, is driving Canadians with disabilities to consider medically-assisted death - National | Globalnews.ca

In February, a 51-year-old Ontario woman who called herself “Sophia” chose to die, reportedly because she suffered severe chemical sensitivities and wasn’t able to find affordable housing that didn’t worsen her condition. Trudo Lemmens, a professor of health law and policy at the University of Toronto, says that whatever the intent behind Canada’s laws, the government has ignored the experiences of other countries and created a system rife with problems.

Laura Kenny: Women struggle to get pregnant because of athlete lifestyle - BBC Sport

There are females that have struggled and will struggle to get pregnant because of the lifestyle of being an athlete, Kenny, who does not have the condition, told BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast. "We've all heard of Red-S - being females losing their periods. You're not going to be able to fall pregnant if you haven't got a period. "It's actually a really unhealthy lifestyle that these females can't have kids and it's actually really sad. "I've always consistently had a period but the amount of conversations I've heard of people having Red-S. "Red-S is actually really dangerous... these peop...

The hidden war stories of First Nations veterans - ABC News

Many Indigenous soldiers, such as Mr Bennett, returned home scarred and their sacrifice ignored. "It's very sad that he fought for this country, never got the honour or respect that he should have gotten," Donella Waters said, adding that, years later, her great-grandfather was arrested and jailed for being drunk and disorderly.

Short qualitative review of the report "Advancing Antiracism, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in STEMM Organizations" - Practical Diversity and Inclusion

The report explicitly stated that they ignored disabled students and other marginalised groups but this does not help make things more inclusive – we should be centering the most marginalised students first as per the Intersectionality Spectrum. While some of the recommendations were explained in a more practical way, most were abstract. One of the chief complaints or questions I hear at the end of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion talks is “What practical things can I do right now to help?”. What I tend to say in this situation is this: “Center the most marginalised people, based on a cont...

As someone who has had #MECFS for 14 years, I can categorically tell you your government and mine ignored this problem for decades and are certainly going to ignore it again.

Side-by-side comparison can help you make ethical choices and avoid stereotypes. // News // Notre Dame Deloitte Center for Ethical Leadership // University of Notre Dame

A recent study showed that when participants evaluated candidates for a job one-by-one, they tended to rely on stereotypes. They ignored candidates’ past performance, and they tended to select male candidates for math tasks and females for verbal tasks. But when they compared male candidates side-by-side with female candidates, they were able to focus on actual job performance and qualifications, and they chose the best person for the job in a less biased manner. #SideBySide

Nadine نادين 🇵🇸🇱🇧 en X

Seeing politicians now pay attention to Gaza, posting photos holding flowers, making statements after white aid workers have died but knowing for six months they’ve ignored our people holding their dead is dehumanising, heart breaking & unforgivable. We will never unsee or forget

To close racial gap in maternal health, some states take aim at implicit bias • Stateline

Countless times, Kenda Sutton-El, a Virginia doula, has witnessed her Black pregnant clients being dismissed or ignored by clinicians. One woman was told by doctors that swelling, pain and warmth in her leg was normal, despite warning the clinicians that she had a history of blood clots. Sutton-El urged her to visit the emergency room. Tests found the pregnant patient did indeed have a blood clot, a situation that can be deadly. Some clients were told they weren’t doing enough to lose weight. After another client was treated dismissively when she paid for a visit in cash, Sutton-El posed ...

TV tonight: what happened when a Black broadcaster visited a ‘whites-only’ town in South Africa? | Television | The Guardian

The Nigerian British journalist Ade Adepitan is impressively open-minded and curious when he becomes the first Black person to spend a week in Orania, a “whites-only” town in South Africa. Orania occupies a strange position in the country – despite regularly being viewed as an attempt to revive or preserve the poisonous ideas underpinning apartheid, it is largely ignored by the South African authorities. As Adepitan speaks to local people, visits a school (where he watches an excruciating play) and gets kicked out of the community’s largest Afrikaner Protestant church, he asks the necessary...

The world has changed. So why do businessmen still think they can harass women at work parties? | Sexual harassment | The Guardian

A recent report from the House of Commons Treasury committee, Sexism in the City, drew on eyewitness accounts of prejudice and harassment still running rife in the financial services industry. “It is shocking to hear how prevalent sexual harassment and bullying, up to and including serious sexual assault and rape, still are in financial services, and how poorly firms handle allegations of such behaviours,” the report stated. Maybe you won’t see many acts of violence committed at a corporate dinner. But so-called “micro-aggressions” and “banter” – tolerated, ignored or simply not recognised...

Helen Czerski: "Just finisihed this & it's bri…" - disabled.social

Just finisihed this & it's brilliant: Katalin Kariko's story of her life. She was convinced that mRNA therapies could work decades ago & did the foundation work, all while being ignored, never promoted & struggling for jobs. Today, millions are vaccinated with mRNA vaccines & she has a Nobel prize. It's a great story, and leaves a lot for the scientific system to think about. Highly recommended.

The murders of Aboriginal women are too often ignored. Is now the moment for real change? - ABC News

In what can feel like a never-ending loop, Australians are marching (again) for justice for women whose lives have been snatched away by violent men. But, for decades, Australia has covered its ears to the screams and cries of Indigenous women who have been let down by politicians, police and protest movements. The unimaginable terror that too many First Nations women have been subjected to must be at the heart of our national response to domestic violence if anything is going to change. Under-funded shelters and crisis support programs run by Aboriginal women have been described as "hom...

I had the good fortune to visit Namibia about 20 years ago and there are museum exhibits there that explain the German atrocities in SW Africa.

He had some stories too.

She Says Doctors Ignored Her Concerns About Her Pregnancy. For Many Black Women, It's a Familiar Story.

Black women in America are more than twice as likely as white women to have a stillbirth. Getting physicians to take their concerns seriously is one reason for this disparity, they say: "If you're a Black woman, you get dismissed."

Hypervisibility and Invisibility: Black Women's Experiences with Gendered Racial Microaggressions on a White Campus

This study focuses on the gendered racial microaggressions that Black undergraduate women experience while attending a historically predominately white university. Expanding from the racial microaggression literature, gendered racial microaggressions demonstrate how race is gendered and how gender is racialized for Black women. Because Black women experience dual oppression, the microaggressions they receive should be examined from an intersectional perspective. My study helps fill in the gaps of literature by taking an intersectional perspective to explore and center Black college women's ...

Women are Credited Less in Science than are Men

There is a well-documented gap in the observed number of scientific works produced by women and men in science, with clear consequences for the retention and promotion of women in science1. The gap might be a result of productivity differences2-5, or it might be due to women's contributions not being acknowledged6,7. This paper finds that at least part of this gap is due to the latter: women in research teams are significantly less likely to be credited with authorship than are men. The findings are consistent across three very different sources of data. Analysis of the first source - large...

Here's the issue I see with white people organizing right now: you all are flailing and doing whatever you think will work because you only think everyone else is on step 0 simply because you ignored when people leveled up their advocacy. Not only will you fail,
