PSA to other blind people, rating a Deaf Uber driver 1 star with a safety violation because of a disability clash and because you are totally blind is a very ableist thing to do.
There's texting. There are ASL classes for the blind. I took one years ago at the school for the Deaf and the Blind I attended. I have Deaf friends teach me ASL via touch.
I know ASL is a visual language, but let's not be ableist because we are blind ourselves.

This looks like a damning admission from Google: https://googlechromelabs.github.io/webmcp-tools/demos/explainer/#compare
The problem: In the example, “Agent must scrape”, the aria-label doesn’t match the actual details (says May, calendar shows September). Much of the problem seems to be the broken aria attribute.
Their solution: invent a new standard and provide another version of the content, just for AI agents, rather than just fix the bug to remove the barrier to the disabled users.

"While many in the blind community use LLMs unapologetically and proudly, I know people who do not enjoy using these disability dongles but they continue to use these large language models out of sheer, grinding necessity. I know blind peers who code software through an LLM because ableist developers refuse to code structural accessibility into their applications. I know blind individuals who strap corporate hardware to their skulls to decode their environments independently. I know Deaf individuals who rely on machine learning to translate the kinetic poetry of ASL into a spoken frequency. I know neurodivergent folks who use algorithms to navigate the exhausting labyrinth of corporate communication.
The tech industry treats this disabled survival as free marketing. They frame themselves as saviors while exploiting the marginalized community they actively helped to disenfranchise. These systems are massive, energy-draining disability dongles. They are a shoddy bandage applied to a canyon that capitalism dug in the first place."

As the midterm results start to roll in, please remember to be gentle with yourselves.
It will be a stressful night.
If you’re chronically ill, this stress can take a huge toll.
It’s ok to log off. It’s ok to disengage. It’s ok to take breaks.
I’ve been trying to take my own advice these last few weeks.
I’ve had a number of huge setbacks and have had to completely log off.
I miss everyone so much.
I’m lonely and scared that my baseline won’t ever recover.
I hate that I’m not “contributing”.
This is internalized ableism.
I have to rest now or my body will force the issue and make me so much worse.
I’m sharing this old article I wrote to remind myself, and others, that it’s ok to protect your digital space.
It’s ok to do whatever you need to survive, even if what you need is to do absolutely nothing.
Thank you to everyone who’s reached out with concern & kind words.
See you soon!
