kestrellIn the past 24 hours, I have attempted to register for the MIT assistive tech hackathon which invites PWD to be co-designers, but uses an inaccessible Google doc for the registration form.
Just now, I attempted to register for the user studies mentioned on the Google accessibility blog, and got another inaccessible Google doc.
Seriously? Isn't it enough that disability often goes excluded from diversity statements, but now blindness doesn't count as an access issue?
I guess I'll just be standing over here with my L337 t-shirt.
