Museum worker: either way it’s not coming into the gallery. You can drink that outside, and we don’t care that it was our cafe that sold it you in a takeaway cup.

Accessibility needs to be embedded into budgets from the beginning. When accessibility is seen as core rather than as an add-on, it makes things better for everyone.
The bottom line is this: #accessibility is not too expensive. Organizations that invest in accessibility are investing in the future. They’re building a business that serves, respects, and includes everyone.

Accessibility is constantly evolving. Don’t fall into the trap of thinking you’ve learned it all. The needs of people with disabilities vary, and so do the tools and solutions available to meet those needs. Stay curious, stay humble.

I think I’ve covered most of the content I’ve seen on BlueSky so far— I’ll end this thread with a graphic from Puzzle’s #AccessAlt campaign, where they turned info from my first alt text post into a shareable graphic, complete with a capybara. Now you’re ready for the #AltTextChallenge! (10/10)

19 million @bsky.app users? Better make sure they all know about the handy alt text reminder! 🫡
Go to Settings > Accessibility and make sure "Require alt text before posting" is toggled on.
We love that accessibility is such a priority here.
