Android : It's ableist that Zoom still does not have free captioning. Hard of hearing people like me should not have to pay for accessibility.

Twitter Web App : I can't believe people are STILL struggling with basic Zoom etiquette. Remember:
- MUTE yourself when not speaking
- USE "raise hand" to avoid interruption in groups
- Make sure your CAT is in view
- Don't forget to tell me your cat's NAME
- Please tell your cat I LOVE them
Android : Rather chuffed to get feedback on some of the training I've delivered, with the client saying their customers have already commented on the improve in service. Only part of the way through the training too. #InclusiveServiceTraining works folks.

Android : OMG just as suspected: COVID antibody tests are more accurate in men. They are only 72% sensitive in women!
This has *directly caused* lack of care for women with #LongCOVID, as so many doctors require a positive antibody test to believe & treat them. 1/

Android : Dr Tom Gernon OceanEarthUniSoton That's incredible! Kinda makes me want to redo my dissertation 😂 I struggled with arcGIS as it kept crashing, so I ended up drawing everything on Google earth. I had to use the cross section tool and visual clues to deduce strike and slip. I still enjoyed it though!
Android : I'm glad OceanEarthUniSoton are paving the way for #accessibility in geology, hopefully others will follow their example! #AccessibleGeoscience #DeskGeologistsAreRealGeologists twitter.com/TMGernon/statu…

Fantastic article by Krystal Vasquez 👏 twitter.com/caffeinatedkry…
Android : Dr Tom Gernon OceanEarthUniSoton University of Southampton Geological Society Are there plans to continue this moving forward? Especially in terms of accessibility. I'd have loved to have had more training before completing my "alternative" mapping project in 2017
Android : #Arthritis is often associated with the older generation, but it can affect anyone. We speak to Eleanor who was in her late teens when diagnosed with #RheumatoidArthritis, now 26, she wants more awareness for young people ➡️ buff.ly/37uY3VY #TwitterDisability NRAS
Android : Excited for this! twitter.com/seis_matters/s…

Android : eevie-beevie Gabi Serrato Marks, PhD It is completely your choice how you define yourself😊 I get a lot of "you're not really disabled" because I'm not as disabled as the perception most people have of disability. I respect if you don't call yourself disabled, but for many differently-abled is euphemistic
Android : Reminder: 📢 disabled isn't a bad word!
A thread on disability-related language to avoid. Disabled friends, please feel free to chime in with thoughts, including disagreement!
