Amy Ko’s bio reads that is a “Professor at the University of Washington iSchool, where she studies humanity’s individual and collective struggle to understand computing. She believes in an equitable, sustainable, and liberatory future in which everyone has the freedom and resources they need to thrive as themselves. She views uncritical uses of computing as a threat to that future, but believes computing can be reimagined to help achieve it.”

At this point you’re either laughing or trying to invent a time machine to an era before woke idiots like this had infiltrated even the handful of remaining useful academic fields.

So what do you do, as a studied of humanity’s collective struggle to understand computing when your fearsome skills of combining Ukraine flag emojis with agender emojis for a dissertation of the unfairness of the universe in your profile is interfered with by an injury that most people would just deal with like functional adults.

But, as a professional social justice warrior, your job is to be anything but a functional adult. So you think, how does my broken elbow make me more of a victim and is there a book or a movie in this? Or at least a Nature article (once a fine publication, but now willing to publish whatever woke nonsense comes in the door.)

And so I give you, the horror and the humanity of Amy Ko’s (very temporary) struggle with disability and her realization that having to type thing is unfair.

How my broken elbow made the ableism of computer programming personal – Amy Ko

I had many exciting plans for the end of my sabbatical year. Breaking my elbow wasn’t among them. Suddenly, all of my work as a computing and information-science professor — writing, and especially programming — had to be done with one hand or by voice. It was a pain. At the same time, it provided a strong reminder of why I do what I do — studying our individual and collective struggle to understand computing and harness it for play, power, equity and justice — and accelerated my desire to develop a truly accessible programming language…

…being unable to use my dominant hand underlined the fact that programming caters mainly for non-disabled people. My temporary disability meant that my work could no longer keep up with my thoughts. Even speech-recognition software customized for coding was error prone and slow. My inability to type two-handed keyboard shortcuts meant I had to reconfigure numerous settings and memorize dozens of new shortcuts.

It’s really sad when your article’s premise was originally the premise of an episode of a ridiculous 90’s sitcom. And that was still less ridiculous than complaining that you’re now a victim because computer programming requires typing things.

Sure, Beethoven lost his hearings and went on composing, but isn’t it so much more admirable when a social justice twerp breaks an elbow and then immediately rushes to rack up more victimhood points before it heals while explaining how it proves that everything that came before her is a form of oppression?
