If Apple can change the icon of Apple Music and the key color for the app, could they also maybe add a f**king setting for the tab bar not to shrink itself away whenever you scroll? Genuinely the biggest annoyance in all of iOS 26/27 for me.

A new bipartisan House resolution, H. Res. 1586, reaffirms the importance of Olmstead v. L.C. and the right of disabled people to live and receive services in integrated community settings.

Good to know!

Thread.

The AGT finale result was so predictable they cut the waiting time for Terry to announce the winner in half from last year. Not that I'm mad about it - Nene totally deserved to win!

I am very excited to be presenting at ACES VCON26 later this month!

If true, gross.

There’s so much cartoon logic in Coyote v. Acme, yet the most believable thing is that a 94 year old gun nut like Elmer Fudd is in the U.S. Senate.

Today is September 1st, which means we are exactly one month away from National #Disability Employment Awareness Month! #Disabled people have held every role imaginable, from activists to business owners, artists to educators, carers to corporate executives, and even President of the United States.

Saw Coyote Vs. Acme and I have to say, my expectations were high and the film exceeded them. After walking out, I genuinely wasn't sure if I liked it or Toy Story 5 better. The fact that it's even a question is incredible to me.

A new report from the USC Annenberg Inclusion Initiative found that #disability representation reached a record 2.8% of speaking characters in 2025’s 100 highest-grossing films. However, this remains far below the 28.7% of U.S. adults who identify as having a disability.

Am I crazy to think the tagline is a clear clue that the new Apple Home stuff will be part of this event? I think the HomePad (or whatever they call the touchscreen home hub) fits perfectly with this tagline.

[P] Hey Grim Reaper: if you're gonna keep pulling this shit, are you taking any suggestions?

When #disability is not treated as a reality but as a claim that must be verified, it is not just frustrating and inconvenient – it is dehumanizing, and it changes how #disabled people are valued in society. Image Description: A person holding a pen about to sign their name on a document.

Would you rather have: • Disabled people not needing to worry about losing benefits when they get married? • Or accessibility features as a requirement for modern communications platforms? Why not both? Support Disability Belongs®’ policy priorities: www.DisabilityBelongs.org/Act #Disability

Australian Idol is replacing the judge that made me feel conflicted about watching the show because he's a bad person. Now if only American Idol could do the same…

I wonder if Alan Dye had something to do with this new logo. It's unreadable, so I'm not ruling it out.

The 78th Primetime #Emmy Awards are coming in September, and we are shining a spotlight on nominations of #disabled actors and behind-the-scenes talent. Find more details by reading our blog post at the link below! Image Description: a gold award statue in front of a television set.

Myth: Vaccines cause autism. Fact: The scientific and medical consensus is that vaccines do not cause autism. Everyone can make health care decisions that are right for them. If one chooses to be vaccinated, there’s no reason to fear that autism will be a possible result.

The Disability Belongs™ Leadership Program prepares emerging leaders with the skills, experiences, and networks needed to advance disability inclusion across every sector of society. We are excited to announce our Fall 2026 cohort - read their bios at www.disabilitybelongs.org/about-us/fellows/

Would you rather have: More people with #disabilities earning a fair wage in integrated workplaces? Or fully #accessible voting for all Americans, regardless of ability? Why not both? Support Disability Belongs™' policy priorities. Learn more at www.DisabilityBelongs.org/Act

X Factor Celebrity was the worst season of any competition show I've ever watched and made it so much easier for me to swallow the end of what used to be my favorite competition show. With Mark Burnett at the helm, I hope The Voice Celebrity meets the same fate:

We’ve made our Resources hub easier to use on our website! You can now filter our resources by topic, which makes it easier to find what you need. We’ve also added a glossary with definitions of some common disabilities and other key terms. Check it out at www.DisabilityBelongs.org/Resources

Watch our President and CEO, Ariel Simms, on Fox 5 D.C.'s The DMV Zone discussing Disability Pride Month and the 2026 Disability Impact Awards.

Presented without context.

man I will just never get over the fact that the collective response to the pandemic, and an absolutely miraculous vaccine development, was to destroy public health in this country and smear everyone involved I generally take a positive view of humanity overall but it's so depressing

Today marks 36 years since the ADA was signed into law.

I just saw someone in the garage of my apartment building wearing a Mac Pro Believe @atp.fm shirt. Very funny to know there's someone else living here who not only listens to the show but has also bought merch.

BREAKING: the clock struck midnight and our bipartisan housing bill is now law. Trump refused to sign it, but he couldn't stop it. This law is GROUNDBREAKING. It will build more housing, bring down costs, and for the first time, stop private equity from buying up homes.

Abolish ICE. Really.

The Birthright citizenship ruling should be a wake up call to any Dem who is still on the fence about court reform. We are essentially one seat change away from the Court undoing Reconstruction by fiat.

people got mad at me yesterday when i said the dems were not ready to take court reform seriously. 5-4 for non-racial citizenship is not a win, it's a reprieve bsky.app/profile/schu...

Just got out of Toy Story 5, and I'm happy to say the reviews are right and it lives up to the standards of the series. I teared up, I laughed a LOT, and Conan was absolutely perfect casting for Smarty Pants.

Disability rights are civil rights.   We will not allow decades of progress toward inclusion, independence, and empowerment for people with disabilities to be undermined.   Illinois will continue building on that progress, not retreating from it.

If you’re upset about price increases on tech products, just remember that it’s for a good cause: feeding RAM into the insatiable maw of a machine that tells incels they’re actually very cool and are right about everything and have been all along.

Laughing and crying - it's so messed up that this is our national situation.

Incredible!!!

Today, Disability Belongs™ is celebrating Autistic Pride Day 2026! At the links in the replies, you can read a success story about one of our autistic team members, shop for some new merch, and get the facts about autism in our "Combatting Misinformation" blog post. #AutisticPride #Disability

Our MarComms Fellow did a fantastic job writing up this profile about me, and I'd encourage you to read it.
