Disability Dongles are contemporary fairy tales that appeal to the abled imagination by presenting a heroic designer-protagonist whose prototype provides a techno-utopian (re)solution to the design problem. Disability Dongle rhetoric instills in students the value of a quick fix over structural change, thus preventing them from seeking out, participating in, and contributing to existing inquiry. By labeling these material-discursive phenomena—the designed artifacts and the discourse through which their meaning is constituted—we work to shift the focus from their misguided concern about our bodies to their under-analyzed intentions and ambitions.

I hate what the culture of the web and the web industry have become.
The web has fallen prey to the fast fashion effect. Far too many people simply don’t care about the quality of what we make, as long as it just about works and brings in money today.
I imagine this is a lot like what artists feel like when they’re forced to make shitty little tourist trinkets to pay the bills because the really good stuff just doesn’t sell.
