This event is going to be fun if you like robots, computers, or learning about how to do research differently! Also, the event is the day before my birthday, so you should come and wish me a happy birthday because I'm a Leo. Also, if you can't come live, registrants get a recording!

Did you know the solution to ableism is turning every disabled person into a surveillance device? This is sarcasm.

AMA! Let's gooooo

Broke: pervert glasses designed to spy on everyone pretending they're for disabled people. Woke: tongue-controlled trackpad that let's disabled people feel a little bit naughty while browsing the internet.

CART captions confirmed!

I'm not 100% sure, but I think I might have found the winner of this year's Anti-Dongle awards. Something I made up just now for new tech that centers disabled people and isn't some kind of exploitative half-baked joke. www.augmental.tech

MouthPad: the hands-free touchpadA trackpad worn on the roof of the mouth: hands-free control of your devices, driven by the tongue. From Augmental.www.augmental.tech

An endorsement from Dr. Raj Korpan: "I had so much fun and also learned so much that I could directly apply in my research and teaching. We reflected deeply about how HRI research is done ... and the policy implications of our work." Even professors like it!

Mace can help prevent assault so it is good to have tear gas to suppress protesters. This is a post about AI and the Disability Diversion.

I'm really excited about who I'm seeing in my registration for this series so far. I love working with our young researchers (I love corrupting the youth). But I am really hoping more senior people will allow me to play with them too! Don't be shy! Please play with me I swear I'm fun.

Interested in Critical HCI? @rone.bsky.social and I are launching Critical HCI Collabs discord. This server is designed to support collaborations between HCI researchers who are interested in critical approaches and methods, but who struggle to find the collaborators they need in their local areas.

I've been professionally complaining about autism research for 10 years. I've done detailed scholarly analysis. I've done qualitative research with autistic children (the only part of my dissertation that is still unpublished). I've done several summer camp events with mixed neurotype groups.

Reply bots are much much worse than reply guys.

I must have missed it how do I block all bout accounts (those flagged as such anyway)

BTW the definition of robotics researcher is very broad. "Robotics adjacent" or "robotics aspiring" or "robotics curious" may also apply. "I'm a little botcurious"

In this seminar, six scholars will discuss their research in Human-Robot Interaction and related research areas and describe how the Counterventions series supported their transformation and growth as researchers. purdue-edu.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

What's a "Midwest twist" on "incentive Mexican eats"? Is there ranch? Is there a taco casserole?

The 2026-27 cohort of Disability-led Robotics is now open! I am recruiting robotics researchers at all levels for participation in a virtual learning series on disability-centered research design in human-robot interaction. forms.cloud.microsoft/r/dfy1pz3v4w
