Well hey there folks,
Another week has already flown by. And what a week it was. We had the Lunar New Year (neigh!), Mardi Gras/Ash Wednesday, Ramadan, and a solar eclipse in Aquarius (shout out to my fellow water bearers) – Can you feel that energy shift? Apparently this kind of alignment hasn’t happened since 1863 and won’t happen again until 2189. What does this mean? Well, first of all I am not a fortune teller, mmkay? But second of all, FIRE HORSE ENERGY BRINGS ABOUT CHANGE, and I, for one, am here for it honey.
In world happenings we have the U.K. (and other European countries) making some moves after the latest Epstein files dump. A wolf-dog hybrid crashed a ski race and won all of our hearts. The U.S. is turning its sight toward… (checks notes) Iran? We lost civil rights leader, Jesse Jackson. Zuckerberg is back in court to answer questions about the addictiveness of Meta’s platforms in teens. And apparently a sleeper shark was caught on camera lurking at a depth near Antarctica where they were previously not thought to be present. Hmmm, this shark may be onto something?
While development has been working on our big relaunch (psst just mark down the date of March 12th, you’ll be in the know soon). Content has been busy recording some spotlight interviews – if you or someone you know is doing cool things out there in the world and in the accessibility space, won’t you please drop us a line at [email protected]? We’d love to talk about it. For real, I mean, I WANT to talk, I am always up for a convo. I’m not saying it’s because we’ve essentially been hibernating silently for 2 months, but I’m not NOT saying that either because when we hear from other people and what they are doing and how they are moving through the world, it helps us all remember our humanity. Heck, even our sanity, if only for a short while, and when we can get back to the root of how we connect as humans on this earth, it helps us all go a little further, together.
As always, thank you for your support,
~Sarah
P.s. Cheers to the 2nd half of the Denver Nuggets season, which starts tonight!
⚖️ Policy & Prejudice 🤫
Keeping the ol’ checks & balances in check
Well, hello there, The U.S. Access Board! If you haven’t heard via grapevine, coconut shell, or carrier pigeon the U.S. Access Board just released an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) on universal changing stations (read: adult changing tables), and they’re actively asking the public to weigh in before the technical standards get cemented — standards that medium and large hub airports will need to follow when pursuing certain airport development grants. (Shout out to Pittsburgh’s newly renovated airport for being at the forefront and installing one, as well as their sensory rooms, children’s play spaces etc.) This is in motion because the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024 told the Board to create the requirements, and right now they’re working through the unglamorous-but-critical details that determine whether these stations are truly usable or just a “we tried” plaque on a wall: Do we adopt an existing standard (ICC A117.1) or build something new? What should the room include for privacy/sanitation/accessibility? Should tables be continuously height-adjustable (and within what range), with non-porous surfaces that can survive real-life cleaning (and real-life bodily fluids, because… humans)? And yes, because the spreadsheet Capitalism gods demand tribute: what do these installs actually cost out in the world?
And here’s the part where the disability community gets to do what it does best: show up, be loud, be specific, and bring receipts. 📢 Public comments are due April 20, 2026. You can submit through Regulations.gov via the notice, or email the Board at [email protected] with docket number ATBCB-2026-0001 in the subject line. If you’ve ever had to MacGyver dignity in an airport bathroom, consider this your official invitation to turn that experience into policy.
Ring ring ☎️ it’s accessibility and universal design calling, let’s pick up the phone.
