I gotta be honest. This feels horrible #axecon.
#axecon Feels like cognitive whiplash going from Alice Wong telling everybody "100% accessibility is bullshit" in the kickoff keynote speech to Deque's founder Preety Kumar touting advancements in automated accessibility in the very next presentation.

To be honest, feeling pretty dehumanized while watching #axecon as a self-employed disabled person that works in accessibility.

Here for the #axecon external speakers (but not so much for the product placement.) Alice Wong @sfdirewolf.bsky.social and David Dylan Thomas @daviddylanthomas.bsky.social have gifted the accessibility community with ideas that could fuel our work for months if not years. #buildingamorehumanweb

My #axecon 2025 talk is done! Between having no hot water to shower and monitor deciding to go dark before we went live, I was on edge lol. Glad I got to share my work on internal digital accessibility support for Salesforce employees with disabilities. Hopefully inspire others to establish programs

Dr. Shew's talk "Cyborg Cocerns & Disability Services" was the pallet cleanser I needed after the "State of Accessibility" sales pitch. #axecon

It's 8 pm and I'm crying while harshly critiquing my slides which means I'm presenting tomorrow! Yes, @deque.com axe-con starts tomorrow and I'm presenting at Noon Mountain time. No I'm not gonna convert it to the more popular time zones (Deque's site will do it for you)

In addition to making memes I also have a job. Next week I'm speaking at @deque.com #AxeCon 2025 about my experience building an internal digital accessibility program at Salesforce. I don't talk much about my role as it's employee-facing but next week get a glimpse of the behind the scene magic ✨

Yes, automation and even AI can be great tools. But read the room...
