I'm glad someone captured this. @idfa are striving to improve the accessibility of the event, so good to see. ALT: Building an IDFA for everyone. Wheelchair accessible cinemas, films with audio descriptions and closed captions, screenings in a low stimulus environment #a11y

"I’ve been in my role for about a year now. And, to be honest, it feels like it’s been about a week." - this will sound familiar to people working on helping integrate #a11y into business! Great read from Craig Abbott craigabbott.co.uk/blog/defining-…

Saw this shared on LinkedIn (apologies, I can't find who shared it originally). So good to see articles like this by Lucy Monie Hall in a major news site! The Guardian - theguardian.com/info/2022/feb/… #a11y

Just refreshing some #a11y slides and had to include this donefirst.com - a distracting video banner on a site about ADHD. Oh dear. #ux

How do blind people use #Mastodon? I tried it and the Compose button does not work with VoiceOver (the screenreader blind people use on iOS). Mastodon (@[email protected]) #TwitterMigration #MastodonSocial #a11y
