I'm looking for benchmarks.
For @mucConf we want to provide accessibility information online.
Please send me links to events/conferences that did a good job communicating accessibility information!

The James Beard nominations for 2024 have just been announced, and a few of the folks we've worked with over the years are in the mix. Here's the full list of nominees, via @Eater:
Toni Tipton-Martin scored a James Beard nomination for "Juke Joints, Jazz Clubs, and Juice: Cocktails from Two Centuries of African American Cookbooks." Here's her @Flipboard collection about her work in raising the profile of Black cuisine.
And the team at "High on the Hog" were nominated in the docuseries category. The show's host, Whetstone magazine founder Stephen Satterfield, curated this @Flipboard Storyboard about what food can teach us about Black identity and culture.
Many children with autism thrive on routine and predictability, which can make vacations challenging for them. Here's a story from USA Today with tips on how to plan a trip, choose an airline that provides accommodations for autistic children, and details on what to expect from an autism-certified resort.
@neilhimself@pablolarah the rumour around the internet is that you support Israel in this ongoing conflict. So maybe not that odd thing to say. Anyway, free Palestine 🇵🇸❤️🖤🤍💚🥰☺️
My doctor wasn't interested in giving me an #autism diagnosis.
I've had him for 10 years, have only seen him for 3-4 appointments during this time, and In our 45 seconds discussing autism, he stated, after literallylooking me up and down, "I don't see it."
Well, you wouldn't. I do eye contact for important short meetings like doctors and lawyers, I am a chameleon and can dress myself for any role, including, "older dude going to doctors office" and I can read, write and speak fairly eloquently, so in these meetings, what would he even be "seeing"?? 🤔
I'm assuming that some people shop for diagnosis for long term disability or other reasons, but I just wanted to know if I suck at Being Normal for any particular reason besides I Suck at Life, which I'm ... oh, whatever. There is no easy path for a second opinion, so I guess it dies here.
Apparently not #actuallyAutistic after all, and as I don't see any other path to diagnosis, I should probably shut the f about it
@Tim_McTuffty@BernieDoesIt@actuallyautistic apologies for the late reply but this is totally relatable, and I'm glad you got assessed. I am probably going to do a serious set of self exams, and maybe see if there is any path to seeing a more qualified professional here (as with many places, the medical profession here is still stressed by echos of the covid crisis, and there are doctor shortages and waits for certain specialties.)
@hooves@BernieDoesIt@actuallyautistic I got lucky, the NHS has a horrendous waiting list , but there is a little know bit of legislation that allowed me to use a private provider (after much soul searching) & it was done & dusted within 6 months.
I wish you luck with your journey mon ami, if you check out #TimsASDjourney there maybe some vaguely useful nuggets of info buried in the dross of my daily ramblings about ASD & life in general.
@Zauberfrau viele grundlegende Thesen darin werden, wie der deutsche Informatiker Wolfgang Ertl über die Analyse seiner US Kollegin Elaine Rich schreibt, auch 2050 "immer noch aktuell" sein, andere werden helfen zu verstehen, wie wir dahin kamen wo wir sein werden (ich mit viel Glück und #ProjektMyra als phantastischer #Weltenbau sicherlich auch noch). Lohnt sich. Und ist #OpenSciece - die Papier Version kostet, das #EBook kann man legal kostenlos laden. Lesen! @bookstodon@buchstodon
Und wo finde ich das legale kostenlose Ebook zum Laden? Ich finde nur leider Bezahlversionen, die sogar noch teurer als die Papierversion sind.
Ist es vielleicht nur für Institutionen kostenlos?
@lalage Wat grappig. Dat heb ik nooit geweten dat Instagram daarvoor gebruikt werd. Inderdaad, hier op Masto lijkt de spoeling dun wat boekenlezers betreft. Lijkt, he. @boeken heeft aardig wat volgers.
…. Sont donc mis en lumière les villes, les foires, les marchands et leurs pratiques commerciales principalement dans les espaces français, allemand, suisse et italien.
