Shell Little @ BlueSky

Hey friends, I've decided to leave this hellscape of an app until it's under new management. In the meantime I've decided to head over to BlueSky, @ShellELittle. Feel free to follow me there as I'll be dropping some updates on my inclusive designer course & lectures there! 👀💙

Over the last several months, I have been investigating rumors that games accessibility advocate Susan Banks, Tubi Hamid, and Deb Vaughan were real people. Here's what I found: ign.com/articles/a-pro…

This is required reading. Grant has spent months investigating this and gone through extreme emotional turmoil writing it. He is extremely trustworthy, and his journalistic integrity is solid. The accessibility community is hurting today, but we will endure. While we are dealing with the outcome of this, please be kind to the community, including Grant. My thoughts: If you've seen me in person the past few months and I've seemed off, this is why. Someone I trusted, worked with, made content with, and confided in broke my heart with all his lies, including hearing about outrageous lies he has told about me to other people. But I am also not the only one this has happened to. I'll be okay. We'll be okay. We're just dealing with a lot.

So anyone else need a drink after the news? 🍸

For games accessibility folks reading the IGN news - please be kind to yourself, and be kind to others. This'll be heavy news for the community, with so many of us having been connected with the person & situations discussed. We'll get through it together, as we have done before

Speaker announcement! 📢 @ShellELittle is joining us for a look at designing games with light sensitivity, photophobia, and flashing sensitivity in mind. Oct 8th - 9th, registration & info at gaconf.com #gamedev #indiedev

Doing my monthly watching of @ShellELittle's Accessibility to Burnout Pipeline talk from axecon since it's a high anxiety day and a free talk is cheaper than therapy.

@ericwbailey just flipped me off. In person. Blessed.

A new Access Designed is up! 2023 is full of surprise accessibility announcements, both hardware and software. For this year's GAAD, I decided to list some of my favorites. Read my latest column on @IGN here: ign.com/articles/the-f…

@Hrothmar_tv We're thinking of you and Jess and sending all of our love 💙💙💙

TW/CW: pet death Hey friends, there isn’t an easy way to say this, but Edison didn’t make it through the night. We got to be there with him and give him lots of pets and kisses. He was deeply & truly loved and he knew it. ty for all of the support this week. I love all of you.

@ianhamilton_ @GA_Conf @a11yTO Awww yeah! I'm exited to write and give this one, thanks Ian 💙

@ShellELittle @GA_Conf @a11yTO Consider it booked for October

My next #GameAccessibility talk is officially going to be around designing games with light sensitivity, photophobia, and flashing sensitivity in mind. This includes people with migraines, brain injuries, sensory issues, and epilepsy. What cha think @GA_Conf @a11yTO??? 👀👀👀

"shells been running into some accessibility barriers and going to Write A Talk About It" MAYBE! 👺😈

@EmmaJ_PR Thank you Emma 😭💙🙏

@ShellELittle Ouch... physical and mental. Hope things improve soon xx

The irony of spending #GAAD23 in the ER w/ subluxed hips & a new herniated disc is NOT lost on me. My body _really_ wanted me to be aware of #a11y. Yet I can STILL convince myself I don't have #hEDS. Why get doctors to gaslight you when you can do it yourself for free?? 🫠😂🙏

@nofontsgivenco Honestly muscle relaxers are a game changer 🤌🤌🤌

@AnnGagne 💙🙏💙

@FatElvis04 Ugh you're so right, thank you!

@hanser This is dead ass the nicest thing ever oh my god, thank youuu 😭😭😭

@ShellELittle I hope you recover quickly. I’m cooking all my Hyrule healing meals with you in mind.

@Hrothmar_tv mood

@ShellELittle LIVIN ON THE EDDDGE

I live in a constant state of fear that one of these days I'm going to click the wrong button in OBS and just live-stream my entire therapy session to twitch

@Hrothmar_tv HROTHMAR! 😱😱😱

@ShellELittle Oh I don’t have such a pop up. No handrails here. I’m riding the edge
