Conventions need to hire - and even compensate - an ADA professional to stop this crap from happening. I don't work Worldcon any more because I can't afford it; unlike my other cons, they don't even offer a discount for senior staff. #ada #a11y #paydisabledpeople

Tell your Worldcons to compensate some of their staff with at least a hotel discount or free ticket, folks. I'm an ADA professional, and I can't afford to work Worldcon accessibility any more, or I would have fixed this. But the cons I do work? They pay my expenses. #paydisabledpeople
