A small story about accessibility at school:

Our campus map notes that there are 82 buildings w/accessible entrance (which I think they define as a level entrance and push button opener).

Only 41 buildings on campus have elevators (some of which, ime, are often broken).

Only 27 of those […]

A photo of how to write alt text isn’t my photo of my agent of mayhem, a black cat leaning forward towards the camera.

Alt text is a photo description that you can access by clicking the +ALT at the top left corner of a photo (photo 1) When posting, you click the +ALT.

Callie the Tortoiseshell cat looks pensively into the distance atop a background of a disability pride flag, her multicoloured beans out towards the camera, and light green eyes sparkling in the light. Japanese style clouds float lazily up from her head, to a thought bubble with the word "Accessibility" in a mid-tone green.

Games shouldn't be gated by what your body can/can't do. Accessibility is important! Here are some things we did to make Duality as accessible as possible:
* Limited/low math system
* "Mental theatre" gameplay
* Screen reader friendly supplements

Two Walls, Same Hallway In March 2018, a Deaf architecture collective in Rotterdam—designers who prioritize how Deaf people navigate and perceive spaces—installed a prototype corridor in a community centre. White walls, high
