A1 Start by not taking oneself too seriously. #axschat

Hello everyone from Spain, today it has snowed in some parts #axschat
Debra Ruh @debraruh
A1 My Husband is experiencing early onset dementia & it can be very tough on all of us, but I find that when we can connect & laugh together then things are not as bad as it seems, positivity helps me everyday as long as I seek it out. #AXSChat #RuhGlobal
Juan Rico @j_rico_
A1 sense of humour is a great medicine to funnel frustration coming from all different barriers. The more we laugh the less we frustrate and helps to accept from a positive perspective #AXSChat
Ruh Global IMPACT @RuhGlobal
A1 This cliche is tried and true for a reason, raising ones own positivity especially through laughter is a great healing tool #AXSChat
Kevin Ruh @KevinRuhGlobal
A1 Laughing often makes me feel so much better, I have a very silly sense of humor so anytime I feel down I try to focus on happier & funnier aspects of life to take a load off #AXSChat

A1: Humor is essential to talk with our photographers. Thanks to this we improve the environment, and eliminate the drama of the situations that some of them live #axschat

A2 A sense of humor can help with overall health from mental health to other abilities or lack thereof. #axschat

A2 I am sure it is tough to put yourself out there & express themselves like comedians do, But a good sense of humor can help anyone through trying times #AXSChat
Ruh Global IMPACT @RuhGlobal
A2 Depression is tough & comedy or humor can help uplift anyone feeling this way, it goes hand in hand #AXSChat
Debra Ruh @debraruh
A2 I would say the latter, but we all deal with mental health issues in varying degrees, I use positivity in this way, nothings better for the blues than a case of the giggles! #AXSChat

A1 Having a sense of humour helps me & I find helps others too. They say When life gives U lemons make lemonade, I say to hell w lemonade, I am making margaritas. Lets enjoy life. That’s usually my ice breaker that helps everyone laugh & feel at ease. #axschat

@Unuhinuii Yarrrrr, I be thinking this be true, bein the scurvy dog I Yam… Not to mention when someone says to keep an eye out, I say, "Oh I get it…" And so much more! #axschat https://t.co/SmCjPh0fr4

A3 Some of the criticism is justified, but remember we can use these tools to raise awareness as well, so remember we can cancel the bad if we work for the good #AXSChat
21st Century Digital Craftsmanship @cldbrand
A3 Can we blame social media itself? Could it be a symptom/problem of a larger societal issue in general? #axschat

A3 Criticism is due when negativity is breeding on these discussions for sure #AXSChat
Kevin Ruh @KevinRuhGlobal
A3 I think those out there doing malicious stuff in these regards are wrong obviously, but as they say you can't throw the baby out with the bathwater as these platforms can be good for these causes as well. #AXSChat

@dan0mah This also relates to accessibility issues. The inability to set larger font size, add colors to text, add bold to text, reverse text for contrast, add audio narration or otherwise to enhance a message all limit access in a way. The possibilities for access are unlimited. #axschat https://t.co/5xf0ybyclR
Debra Ruh @debraruh
@dan0mah That’s why sarcasm can be lost in text for sure! #AXSChat
Debra Ruh @debraruh
@RuhGlobal Very true #Axschat

A4 Yes. How many times a day do I tell this joke to a checker or clerk to try to lighten their day. “Hear about the 2 peanuts walking in the park? One was assaulted…” #axschat
Ruh Global IMPACT @RuhGlobal
A4 Of course! #AXSChat

@ScarfmanAndy @AXSChat I love how it can be freeing too! #AXSChat

A4 I whole heartedly believe that they can, but making a more conscious daily effort is better than random acts too #AXSChat

A5 One key for me is to be intuitive and empathetic before I say something that I think is funny. Over the years I’ve learned that certain jokes go over differently depending on the person and situation. Reach out for the best joke in the world, if you can take it… #axschat
Carol-Ann Chafe @C_AChafe
Totally agree @JulietteBurton I stick to mostly positive, fun or interesting posts, and I try to reciprocate with the same . I look online for the same kind of people to associate with that I do in real life having qualities I like such as: smart, positive, fun, changemakers
Debra Ruh @debraruh
A5 Anything that is not mean spirited is ok in my book! #AXSChat
21st Century Digital Craftsmanship @cldbrand
@ScarfmanAndy @AXSChat I too grapple with this. My ongoing answer sounds cliche and hokey but it is understanding. Trying to understand. Sometimes that's after I've flipped them off in traffic… •) #axschat
21st Century Digital Craftsmanship @cldbrand
@KimPossible1809 That's why I didn't tell it… #axschat

A5 We should go as far as makes everyone comfortable, when we begin to offend we must step back & look at why & how to change #AXSChat

A5 I say why not, as long as everything is good natured then it is a healthy outlet #AXSChat

RT @JulietteBurton: A4:
21st Century Digital Craftsmanship @cldbrand
@JulietteBurton But it has to be genuine right? I mean phony kindness really isn't kindness at all. I often wonder if my own motives are pure when telling jokes and doing what I think are kind things. Self doubt of a sort I suppose. #axschat
Carol-Ann Chafe @C_AChafe
@JulietteBurton #axschat Yes @JulietteBurton For example I met IRL a fellow #axschat member. @PeterBArmstrong & I knew eachother fr @AXSChat community and then a few yrs later met up at an #accessibility conference. So social media can b beneficial.

Here's one I made up (as far as I know) •) Is the tendency for a nun to buy tight fitting clothing habit forming? #axschat
Mike Gifford @mgifford
@AXSChat A4 Well, they rarely hurt. Often though putting a bit more effort in it and finding a way to replicate or even document the work can ensure that it has a bigger effect. Lots of butterflies get hit by cars when they fly across the highways of life. #AXSChat

Carol-Ann Chafe @C_AChafe
Agree @Unuhinuii Acts of kindness like volunteering, U get more out of than U put in, cause it makes U feel good inside. If this encourages others 2 pay it 4ward to someone else, thats great ripple effect. I believe in Karma, God & Santa Claus so GOT 2 do some good. LOL #axschat

Si Flatman @Si_Flatman
@KimPossible1809 @Unuhinuii True. Also we all have an odd moment when we are too close to see something #Axschat
21st Century Digital Craftsmanship @cldbrand
@KimPossible1809 @Unuhinuii One of the Pirates of Caribbean movies has that. Hilarious. As for mine I'd paint different emotional reactions like crying or laughing and then change them each time I laughed or cried… Hear a joke, change patch, then laugh… #axschat

Yes thank you @JulietteBurton interesting topics. Thanx @AXSChat for another great session. Off to get ready for our Entrepreneurs & Professionals with Disabilities MeetUp tonite
