“Please get the truth out about our son.”

Alex Pretti, a VA ICU nurse, was killed by ICE while trying to protect a woman being assaulted.

Trump calls him a “monster” and “domestic terrorist.”

Trust your own eyes. Unlike Trump, the video doesn’t lie.

And expect us to buy the lie that he was dangerous and that they were afraid for their lives. It was six against 1.

Accessibility isn’t about compliance. Accessibility is about people. David Dame makes this potently clear in his post 👇🏽

There is a distant difference. When something is digitally accessible, it can be navigated, used and enjoyed by everyone with or without assistive technology. Many EdTech tools fall short of the mark.

Saw a post on LinkedIn about EdTech tools with the headline “ A+ List for Accessibility “ and immediately cringed. First the poster they were sharing did not have good color contrast and several of the tools they shared have “accessibility features” but are not digitally accessible.

I think… a good first step.

Accessories in this pack can be used by any Barbie so that’s a win… hopefully they can follow up with a pack with just the accessories.

Fantastic to see Mattel are working with community groups like ASAN… Shame the reporting from guardian is very medical model focused
Autistic Barbie - Any thoughts +/-?
The doll’s eye gaze is slightly to one side, she has hands that you can flap, an AAC device, fidget spinner & flat shoes.
Very stereotyped.
I think broadening the range of accessories to use with any Barbie would be better?

Company says doll is the latest expansion of its commitment to representation and inclusion

I think this is a big win because representation matters. Not perfect, but a great positive step.
