One way or another, I always end up crying during inaugurations. Today, for the VP, it was with pride and hope.
It sure did. But if we’re going with SW theme, remember that 30 years later the New Republic was in shambles and another fascist dictatorship had taken over.
We don’t live on Tatooine. The point is that our work towards a more perfect union is never over, we must always engage.
We haven’t had a successful constitutional amendment since 1992. It’s time.
Good morning. The @GOP have now lost the popular vote in 7 of the last 8 presidential elections.
Similarly, people will tell me that I must have had such a hard childhood because my sister was disabled, that it wasn't a normal childhood. As though my sister couldn't possibly have brought any joy or light into my family's life.
Normal is what you know.

OMG I have a sketch notes for my own talk I’m kinda hyperventilating. Thank you @Clarity_conf!
Then we had @allisonacs with Accessibility Beyond Color Contrast #clarity2020
ALT sketch notes for @allisonacs — Zendesk Garden Design System. There are so many aspects of accessibility before what you can see.
Finishing my thought: We do know people who need accessible products (they might even be us!), but we may not know who they are because able-ism is so prevalent in our society.
Allison Shaw about #a11y: »One of the hardest things is that most people don’t know anyone for whom they should build accessible products. 👉🏽 There is a reason why we don’t know people, who need accessible products …« @allisonacs at @Clarity_conf #clarity2020 🤔 😔
I didn't think this was going to be how my talk at Clarity went down, but I'm super pumped at how awesome this remote conference is! Way to go @jina and @kickasscon! #clarity2020 (also it is super trippy to be watching my own talk ha!)
I'm getting super pumped for Clarity next week, where you can see my talk, "Accessibility beyond color contrast." 🙌 Want to join me? Register with my promo code: Shaw10 and get 10% off the ticket price! clarityconf.com/2020
