Abilist Views even in the Disability Community

Well, it doesn’t come as any surprise that there are those who live with a disability who are abilist in their thinking and actions, not to mention in the way that they go about putting out material that is aimed at others with the same disability or similar condition.

Even the tech they are using isn’t inclusive, hockey sticks didn’t even test out the platform before launching their product to see if it would even work, they just assumed that it would work. What happened to user testing and UI testing? For crying out loud when I went to college for web design and development it was one of the fundamental points of the entire course was End-User Usability it was drilled into us that when creating sites, you have to test test test and make sure that what you are developing and delivering is inclusive and supportive all that is out there for accessibility.

Guess that sort of thinking and design has gone the way of the dodo, as I am seeing more and more of this happening. Sadly with the tech open to the world today there is no excuse for this to happen. There are so many tools out there to help a creator make sure that their content is as accessible to others there are even standards that have been written and many governmental bodies have adopted the standards (yet these standards are not as widely adopted as they should or could be).

Oh well they will either learn or they won’t – time will tell. And yes I did mention the lack of accessibility and other assumptions which have fallen on so-called deaf ears
(pun not intended).

A cold that just wont let go…

Well haven’t been feeling well for a while now, I wish I knew when my body was going to clear this virus that it’s acquired but sadly it doesn’t feel like there is an end in sight as yet.

I’m still coughing and hacking and still feeling like it’s in my lungs yet I have no signs of rails that I am aware of – but my body is still acting like it can’t get rid of whatever was caught. It feels like some of the colds I had when younger to degrees, but different. I don’t feel like I’m recovering as fast from this bug as I have previous bugs I’ve contracted in the past, which is most annoying since it makes me think something more is wrong with me I know about.

The part outside of the hacking that is really causing me concern is the stress incontinence that is part of what’s going on, I might think my bladder is empty but as soon as a coughing fit hits that turns out to not actually be the case.

I am trying to eat as my body will allow me to do so, but in most cases I am not hungry and ofcourse post eating the caughing fits get worse for a period of time until things once again calm down to various degrees, even hauls etc isn’t helping things to be calm. Taking MyQuil does help yes since it suppresses the coughing reflex from happening, but I am not sure if that is a good thing or not. I am not coughing up spudem or anything of that nature all that is coming up is air and feeling like I’m going to break a rib from the strength of the cough.

Well post more as time does allow for it, take care everyone!
