hear me out: i don’t think that hiring Disabled people for accessibility work is always the right call. unless they’re prepared for it, i wouldn’t want to put Disabled people into a space where no one has done work on inaccessibility or ableism. that’s a recipe for more harm.

@codeability This is one of the questions I keep battling with every day. Do we make spaces anti-ableist first, or hire Disabled people to shape what that should even look like first? I think it's probably a bit of both—but genuinely would love your take.
