On June 11th, Michael Hickson, a quadriplegic black man with COVID-19 was killed by a hospital in Austin Texas. Doctors decided he had "no quality of life" and was not worth spending the resources to save. The conversation between his doctor and his wife was caught on audio 1/?

Ok, hackers. When I woke up Monday, you had dropped Facebook. When I woke up Tuesday, you had wrecked Twitch. If I wake up tomorrow and you didn't destroy student loans I'm going to be mad.

To summarize, Niantic is doubling the cost of playing Pokémon GO remotely, and limiting how much you can play. This is what we call a disability tax. If you can't leave your home or live in an inaccessible area, you can play, but it's going to cost you, and you can't play much.

Dear Streamers, When you begin a game for the first time, and you're exploring options for everyone to see, please do not skip the accessibility menu. Although you may not need accessibility, your viewers may be disabled gamers watching you to figure out if they can even play.

Hot take that shouldn't be hot: Don't judge people for playing the way they want to play. You shouldn't be made fun of for playing a game on easy mode or hard mode. Games have modes so that people can play and enjoy the game in whatever way they have the most fun.

There's a lot of people talking about accessibility right now. But not for the right reasons. The new Invincibility Mode from Double Fine is making a lot of people angry. So I decided to make a thread answering some of these from @IGN & beyond. Let's go on a journey together!

The President of the United States just said "Don’t be afraid of Covid" COVID-19 - a virus that has taken the lives of more than 208,000 Americans, and more than 1 million worldwide. A global pandemic I'm so sorry the loved ones of those who have passed have to witness this

When you have a profound disability, people mocking your physical appearance is not uncommon. Sometimes those turn into teachable moments. While streaming the other night, one of those moments appeared then carried over to twitter. As Morpheus said, I can only show you the door

1 in every 1,900 babies is born with limb difference. 2.1 million Americans are missing one limb. LEGO isn't affected by the "woke mind virus" - They're adding a toy for kids that looks like them or a friend or a parent. Stop being ableist jerks.

Fox News Is Now Mad About ‘Woke’ One-Legged Legos

After Lego introduced more inclusive characters into its product line, Fox News raged about the toys “going woke” because of course.
