You might be surprised, changing the world is fun, and you can find great solidarity with others.

I've successfully done this as well in a smaller town. City Hall engineers sat down with me and looked at accessible routes to school, bus/train station, and the grocery store. They built 7 curb cuts; it cost the city 35K. Every

What fabulous country is this? I have never experienced the easy sidewalks you describe except in particular parts of some major cities.

There are times when we update users as fast as possible, but that's fairly rare and happens only when there's an exploit disclosed in public (or one definitely being used). So in addition to the security ratings used by Mozilla (

We have to weigh the potential risks against the potential benefits of a quick rollout and try to come to a balanced decision. If we see a problem from feedback from early installs, then we have a chance to quickly patch it and re-release,

I'm a placard holder and I think this article is full of horrible ideas. The fee, the weird limitations on metered parking use for people with particular disabilities or impairments, but most of all the way the article uncritically inv

Stable Firefox will still update around every six weeks, the same as before. You could also think of the change like this: if you report a bug in the current release version, and someone fixes that bug in Nightly, the fix will end up in a n

We have always had the potential to move that fast, but you can think of the difference here for features as: rather than scrambling to bring features to release faster if they're ready, we can choose to hold some features back for an

Granularity is pretty good for the Nightly builds, since a new update is normally built and pushed out at least once a day. The mozregression tool is useful for narrowing down when a bug first appeared: http://mozilla.github.io&#

The song "Are My Hands Clean?" from the 1980s, by Sweet Honey in the Rock, covers this exact subject. It traces the path of the materials used to make a cheap blouse you can buy at Sears from fields to the store. https:/&#x

By the way, the point of tactile paving is usually to indicate a change (like a slope or a step) about to happen, warning of an edge, not a path that you are supposed to follow.

Another thing to look out for in cities (and get people to correct if you can - report to the city, building owners, and so on): Things that stick out at head level that have no indication of their existence at ground level. Cane users woul

I noticed this in Beijing in 2007 (I'm a wheelchair user, so I'm looking at the sidewalk a lot). Here's a photo of one of those bumpy yellow paths leading straight to a steep flight of stairs under Tiananmnen Square! I'

It seems possible to put other, not-porn images of people into the hopper and spit out an endless stream of perturbing, semi-pornographic trolling. That will probably happen, despite it being an awful idea, and it could even become commodif

I agree about HR! What an annoying term. But, unlike "the r-word", which has lots of history of being used as a direct insult and slur meant to be hurtful, "disability" has quite some time of history as use for political

Especially so when it is simple to look up what has been written about these kinds of questions. There is literally a book (quite well known) titled "Why Are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria".

I don't find it hard to imagine, as there are plenty of privileged white people in the U.S. who barely ever come into contact with black people in a social context. So they just say the first thing that comes into their minds. They fee

I see "person of color" as a term of alliance against a white supremacist culture. There are many particular difference but the idea is that there are also some commonalities that make alliance and shared analysis valuable.

I would like to think that this is good advice, but I can't truly believe it because in many situations where the power dynamic is unequal, the rewards are greater for one person and the risks mostly go the other way. This decision of

It's a hard decision to make, whether to tell people your perspective from a marginalized position. They feel bad and don't know what to do with that knowledge, or how to integrate it with their own different experiences. I love t

What about your ability to refuse to tell law enforcement a password? In the U.S. at least there is some precedent that giving a password could be a self-incriminating act, so you can be protected under the Fifth Amendment. I wonder if biom

Sometimes this is about having a different learning style. Some people may absorb information better one on one. Tutoring and mentoring can be super helpful. Another thing you might consider is that there are class and cultural factors to p

It's helpful to have small practical tips on coping and how to be kind to yourself when you are too depressed or ill to get out of bed. Sometimes that self care is more useful than trying to go instantly from 0 to 60, sad to happy. Or,
