Yeah, the gait analysis is where I am truly fucked because I’m visibly disabled (and have gone to protests where i have been threatened with arrest, but evaded so far). I have been thinking about using my wheelchair at more protests though, so that might be able to fuck it up in the future.
Or everyone just needs to stick a rock in their shoe, or wear one shoes that has a bit of a platform.
It’s at the non-profits too. My work turned around suddenly in November claiming there was no money/funding for the work that had already been approved and highly praised. Gas lighting. Turning (or trying to) turn our colleagues against us. Yelling and crying (I kid you not, I was horrified at the time). Calling us disrespective and divisive (because we were trying to fix access/health and safety issues and had not only been given the go ahead, it was incorporated into our strategic plan in the summer and our boss repeatedly said that funding wasn’t an issue at the time).
Cue 3 weeks later in our AGM, where the auditors come in to talk about the financials.
“We have to be careful not to give the illusion that we’re hoarding money because we have so much in the bank”.
All because my bosses feelings were fucking hurt and she’s the definition of a fragile neo-liberal white lady who thinks she’s a radical leftist.
(We’ve now been in mediation for three months, surpriiiiise, lol. And I have lawyers on hand in case they don’t get their heads out of their asses, which seems more and more likely as time goes by becauze they broke labour law and my province’s human rights code)
In my experience a skein is a specific type of wound wool. It’s looped and then twisted and folded over. You can’t knit from a skein, you have to reball it first.
On top of what OP said, why aren’t disabled people one of the target demographics*? Its literally a gaming experience that is mobile was also being able to be super accessible physically for a lot of disabled people. It’s also bad design practices, you need to consider access from the start - trying to shoehorn it in later can lead to sub-par access measures, or much bigger re-designs, or worst case just, parts of it not being accessible at all.
