I saw Sophie’s #DisabilityPrideMonth post two days ago. I don’t normally make a point of re-reading tweets, but I’ve revisited it a dozen times, due to its clarity.
I have been staring at an empty Emacs buffer for an hour now. I have been trying to think of some sincere and supportive words I could add to Sophie’s. The best I can do is this: I will try to follow her example.
Thank you, Sophie. Thank you to the GNOME community for providing a welcoming space that allows us all to be who we are. And thank you to the GNOME contributors who work on the #a11y features which enable users like me to access a computer at all: Hari Rana, Jeff Fortin Tam, Bilal Elmoussaoui, Matthias Clasen, Claire, Emmanuele Bassi, Lukáš Tyrychtr, Sam Hewitt (and all our Design team, who take #a11y very seriously), Eitan Isaacson, Mike Gorse, Samuel Thibault, Georges Stavracas, and many more.
