I Want to Believe… in Button Remapping. Let players remap any button. Some play one-handed or with adaptive controllers. Everyone deserves to finish the mission. Image of Gillian Anderson as Scully with arms crossed looking at you FlightStudio1.com #GameAccessibility #A11y #GameDev #TheXFiles

Clocks Go Back. Lights Go Up. Darker evenings are here. Make sure your entrance, car park and paths are well lit for everyone heading home. Image of Big Ben FlightStudio1.com #Accessibility #A11y #Inclusion #AccessibleSpaces

Don't Get Lost in the Overlook. Put clear signs with symbols at every corridor junction. Nobody should need a map to find the bathroom. Image of Danny Torrance playing on the iconic hexagonal-patterned carpet FlightStudio1.com #Accessibility #A11y #Wayfinding

Basic Is Beautiful. Like a pumpkin spice latte, plain language is a classic for a reason. Short sentences. Everyday words. Everyone gets it. Image of an iced pumpkin latte in a plastic cup with whip cream FlightStudio1.com #Accessibility #A11y #PlainLanguage #PumpkinSpice

Don't Move House. Meet the Iguana. Accessibility feels scary until you start. Test one screen or one level with a disabled player this month. Image of Giannis looking concerned with an iguana looking at him FlightStudio1.com #Accessibility #A11y #Inclusion

October Is ADHD Awareness Month. After meetings, send a short recap: decisions, owners, deadlines. It helps people with ADHD, and everyone else too. Image of orange ribbon FlightStudio1.com #ADHDAwarenessMonth #A11y #Neurodiversity

The Spice Must Flow — So Must Your Alt Text. The next image you post online — write one sentence describing whats in it. Thats alt text. Thats it. Someones day gets better because of it. Image of Dune Sandworm coming out of the desert #Accessibility #A11y #DigitalAccessibility #Inclusion

Rebellion Starts With One Small Act. Add captions to your next post, video, or reel. Someone in your audience needs them. They're just waiting to be included. Small acts done consistently are how culture actually changes. #Accessibility #A11y #Inclusion #InclusiveDesign #DisabilityAwareness

Don't Let Your Meeting Be a Disaster. Send your meeting agenda 24 hours in advance. For many people with cognitive or processing differences, this isn't a courtesy — it's what makes participation possible. Image of Cillian Murphy playing Oppenheimer looking stressed out #A11y #Inclusion

Bluey Gets It. Do You? Next time you give someone instructions, offer them a choice of how to receive it — written, verbal, or visual. Takes five seconds. Changes everything for some people. Image of Bluey jumping with joy on a grassy field #A11y #Inclusion #Neurodiversity #InclusiveDesign

Anxiety is Real. So is Your Role. Before your next busy event or meeting, identify one quiet space people can step into if they need a moment — and tell people it's there. Image of Anxiety from Pixar's Inside Out coming in from the right of the post #Accessibility #A11y #Inclusion #Neurodiversity

Lucky Duck Energy: Look, Don't Touch. If you see a service animal out in public, resist the urge to call its name, whistle, or wave it over. A distracted service animal isn't doing its job — and that job might be keeping someone safe. #A11y #Inclusion #Disability #ServiceAnimals #PatoMerlin

27 Shots. Zero Goals. One Man. That's what accessibility can look like inside a company too. Just one person, willing to stand in goal. #Accessibility #A11y #Inclusion #InclusiveDesign #WorldCup #Vozinha

Survive Anything. Navigate Anywhere. Before you publish your next page or document, run it through a Contrast Checker. It's free. It takes 60 seconds. And it tells you if people can actually read what you made. Image of Joel and Ellie from the Last of Us video game & TV show. #Accessibility #A11y

It's Time to Be Kenough — For Everyone. Before you book your next venue, ask one question: "Is this space accessible?" That's it. Start there. Image of Ryan Gosling as Ken from Barbie in a jean vest with abs showing FlightStudio1.com #Accessibility #A11y #Inclusion #InclusiveDesign #Disability

Even SpongeBob Knows — You're Ready!" When someone tells you they have a disability or need an accommodation — believe them. No proof needed. Just act on it. Image of SpongeBob face appears as his yellow body is the background of the post FlightStudio1.com #A11y #Inclusion #Disability

I love Technically Wrong by Sara Wachter-Boettcher. It helped me understand the history of product creation, the intentions behind tech, and even my own biases. Eye-opening and necessary. wwnorton.com/books/Techni... #TechnicallyWrong #EthicalTech #InclusiveDesign #BiasInTech #Inclusion

A beautiful movie set near Woodstock in the early 1970s, where a summer camp for teens with disabilities sparked friendships, freedom, and a movement that changed history. Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution (Full Movie - 1 hour 46 minutes): www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFS8... #DisabilityRights #A11y

This is a wonderful group to volunteer your time with. 💕🎮

Holy shit, #Webflow. I understand you may not have anyone on staff to review this LLM-generated ARIA explainer, but you’ve mostly just convinced me your product is a lawsuit-in-waiting. I’m sorry most of your customers won’t recognize that. webflow.com/blog/how-to-... #accessibility #a11y #ARIA

If Neo can stop bullets, why can't we stop auto playing or looping videos and GIFs? #WebAccessibility #A11y #Accessibility #WebDev #FrontEnd #Inclusion #Matrix #GameAccessibility
