@instagram Obviously I need to figure out my account issue first and foremost, but as my situation highlights, there is also a need to here for y'all to reevaluate the UX here and why there isn't an alternative accessible pathway for appeals available.

@instagram How can I get in touch with a human to help me resolve an accessibility issue? I got a suspension notification a few days ago, but due to my disability, I am unable to go through the appeal flow which requires physically writing on a piece of paper & taking a selfie.

@tmindful182 @ianhamilton_ @IGN 🤣

While we've seen mechanics like space combat, space flight, and even sandwich storage, the disabled community is concerned about the silence from Bethesda and Xbox surrounding Starfield's accessibility. Learn more: bit.ly/3D5tdmi

Love to see it – @figma making serious strides with their platform accessibility, bringing more equity to the process of making and giving more folks a seat at the table of design. figma.com/blog/a-step-fo…

@Black1976 Fingers crossed that approval will happen soon! I just started taking it Tuesday of last week. I was also not a good candidate for the alternative due to the risks of spinal injections with my severe scoliosis.

@the_3 Ridisplam is only approved for kids (Type-1 and 2) here in Spain. Organizations are pushing so it opens up to SMA Type 2 adults, then Type 3. The process requires again a vetting system, too. I wish I coul, I asked for it.

I am not eligible for the SMA treatment. Low scores in strength/mobility scales and the procedure (spinal injections) presents many risks, there is nothing to win and high chances of causing damage. I wanted to have a chance, to at least stop the progression but that is not on

@Black1976 Are you not able to do Risdiplam? No injections that way (it is an oral medication) and approved by the EMA.

grain of sand to help raise awareness and improve accessibility among the other advocates and consultants. Maybe I am not too late for that. 🫰

@Super_Crip1994 yussss

Tonight, my uncle commented that he noticed I am sitting up far straighter and for much longer periods of time than a few years ago! I still can't believe I've been on my medicine for almost a year and a half and that there are noticeable results!

Excited to share more about what’s coming to Windows 11 for people with a variety of disabilities. We know we need to do more. Looking forward to feedback and to continuing the journey to empower every person on the planet to achieve more. blogs.windows.com/windowsexperie…

Corey Anderson just might have to increase his beastin' to 26/9 if he wants that title #Bellator277

@mswinford9 what can be done to improve @GoNumotion's efficiency? currently, it takes 3+ days to place an order for an essential part for a wheelchair repair. Manufacturer quotes should be near instantaneous and pre-orders done same/next day. Delays cause real harm to clients.

@LadieAuPair Avodavo was my favorite Harry Potter spell

The other day I tried to say avocado and I couldn’t. Like 3 times in a row, it came out some variation of “avodavo” I’ve now taken to using the word avodavo to reference when thinfs come out not quite right but “fuck it, you know what I meant”

@brycej @LadieAuPair @brennadactyl I hope you know that I'm going to exclusively call you Bruce from now on.

@LadieAuPair @brennadactyl Unless that person has a speech related disability and then I hope people can forgive. People call my Bruce all the time just because they are unfamiliar with Bryce. I don't mind Bruce, I find it funny.

never be afraid to correct someone's pronunciation of your name

@Black1976 @OneSwitch @jennylayfluffy Is this referring to voice access in particular? Or more generally? In voice access at least, you can interact with keyboard keys by saying "press <the name of the key>". So in this case, "press escape" should get you out of fullscreen apps that capture the mouse.

@OneSwitch @jennylayfluffy It was a trap, I knew it. General Ackbar warned me. Jokes aside, it would be very helpful. That feeling of losing control by not being able to press a key can be frustrating. I am testing Microsoft Keyboard control to re-assign a key from my number key pad to Escape.

Windows 11 is making it easier to control your PC with your voice zd.net/3fFAdKC

@Gaiazelle @LadieAuPair @BrannonZ @brycej @TheRubyValkyrie @restokin This party needs to happen, so I can crash it

@SeedyTeevee This is currently only available for Windows 11 as part of the Insiders build.

"Voice access is a new experience that enables everyone, including people with mobility disabilities, to control their PC and author text using their voice." Congrats to the many people, especially the users, that contributed. Excited for feedback. blogs.windows.com/windows-inside…

I can finally talk about one of my projects! Today's Insider build includes the first release of voice access – 11's new AT for folks with mobility impairments. If you are an Insider, check it out and let us know what you think of it! blogs.windows.com/windows-inside…

@ianhamilton_ @xanderashwell @twithoff It's not easy, but it is simple. Make accessibility a core pillar of your game and that shifts perspective about the priority of features that enable more people to play.
