    Have you all seen this new ad from Apple: https://youtu.be/8sX9IEHWRJ8?  After some of our discussions of bad media representation, I personally think this does a much better job of portraying people with disabilities as cool, not pitiful or inspirational.  Or am I missing something?  What do you all think?

    Wow love this!! Also, it seems like Apple has many cool accessibility features that I don’t know about.

    Here’s another thought/question. I’ve been seeing this ad often on YouTube. Usually I skip ads as soon as allowed. I’ve been letting this one run in hopes they see it’s popular & make more like it. Do you think that makes a difference? My tendency would be to skip it because it’s a lengthy ad but I want to support positive advertising like this.

      I could be wrong but I think just watching the ad in full gives them money. ????

    I didn’t want it to but it gave me the warm fuzzies anyway.

    I guess I like to think I’m above inspirational disability ads but I’m only human and this was so cool. ????
