And in addition having influential editors at key large papers share Op Eds is a pretty big way to go for some social sway.

This is Wendell, our house panther.
He occasionally will offer his paws - hubby is his favorite human.
I’m just the alternate human that offers tubes of Churu at night.

I call that the CisHEtWhyte effect (CHEWY). Male CHEWY is the predominant thing out there.

Accommodation and access are not gifts to be bestowed upon disabled people.
Accommodation and access are imperatives to insure inclusion, equity and justice for disabled people.

Remote employees β€˜don’t work as hard’, says head of world’s biggest commercial landlord Steve Schwarzman of the Blackstone group said staff want to work from home so they can save money

The headline *chefs kiss*

Flexible work options create inclusive work environments. Companies who force people back in on unnecessarily strict schedules are creating exclusionary environments.

A reminder that alt text should not be used to add cute β€œhidden” messages.

It should be used to describe the images you’re providing in a helpful way, to ensure access to information is equal.

It’s a way to be inclusive to folks with disabilities, particularly those who are blind or low vision.

You are very kind to say that. I'm not sure that holds, but I would always be happy to learn with/from you. I'd love for groups of us to have chances (by design) to work collaboratively and share what's in our noggins.

FYI for Newskies, there’s a push here to add ALT to your images (you might notice it’s a lot more common then on Twitter). Many folks won’t repost posts that don’t have ALT on them. You can turn on an ALT reminder in your settings!

Adding πŸ§ͺ for all the new scienceskies since there seems to be lots
