You never have to EARN accessibility! Regardless of your level of disability or illness you are allowed any kind of accessibility that will make your life easier!! Don’t deny yourself an easy life because you don’t think you’re sick enough to deserve it ♥️

And use a shower chair if it helps make showering easier. You don't have to be "sick enough." You can also get a handheld shower head with an on/off switch so you can control it when you're sitting.

Online gambling platforms are a major accessibility technology — being against this technology is to be against advancing human accessibility, and i think there’s a case to be made that it’s borderline ableist

weaponizing "accessibility" to legitimate cognitive assault and epistemic warfare, not mention larceny, planetary arson, bigotry, and SAM

Another nightmarish death by chatbot.

“…Qun opened the ChatGPT app on Bowen’s cellphone. Suddenly the details of her death were overwhelming…In one of her last messages, she described feeling pressure in her brain, which the chatbot told her was simply the organ “working…to rebuild itself.””

Bluesky has a setting that will remind you to add alt text before posting any images.

Go to "Settings," then "Accessibility." Select the checkbox for "Require alt text before posting."

Despite your hubris, disability is not a question of If but When which is why you should always advocate for disability rights, justice & accessibility because you’re directly advocating for yourself

Some frame accessibility around the fear of lawsuits. One problem is that this approach de-centers people with disabilities. Websites should be designed so people can use them. Designing a website just so it can pass a legal checklist violates the whole premise of accessibility.

Accessibility menus and gameplay modifiers are crucial for lots of gamers — but what if they were also a little silly? Here's @nicoleclark.bsky.social on how Yacht Club Games developed Mina the Hollower's now-iconic mods menu:
Mina the Hollower's extensive modification system is part accessibility, part shenanigan
“Big sprite mode,” lead artist Sandy Gordon said, “was just for shits and giggles.”

It features an Achievement tracker, QoL Graphical Features, Extra Accessibility Options & Custom Patches, all while remaining fully human made.

An incredible release by a massively talented individual! 🙌

Some argue web accessibility is super expensive and time-consuming. That's true if you wait till the end and have to rebuild the site. But if you consider accessibility from the beginning and your team knows what to do, then accessibility doesn't have be costly or time-consuming.

Thanks for this! Once again, no one on the CBU3 team seems to think about accessibility in advance. Sigh.

Asmodee launched access+, a new accessibility resource for tabletop games to help players and carers.

It originated from an internal initiative, which now expands to all studios in the Asmodee group to cover a wide range of accessible design practices.
