I just published a new piece: “Why Can’t Everything Be Accessible?”
Accessibility isn’t complicated—it’s ignored. We’ve failed to teach, enforce, and value inclusion in tech.
Developers, educators, governments, and companies all have a role to play.

Even #RollsRoyce in #Derby is scared of the US.
Has nobody got any backbone, or was it just somethingwash like everything else companies pretend they support?

#Trump & #Hegseth #military address🤬🧵
#Defense Secy #PeteHegseth addressed the gathering of military leaders earlier.
He assailed what he called "decades of #decay" caused by policies promoting #diversity & #inclusion in the #USmilitary.

"But not anymore," he said.
