An absolute tragic loss in the disability community. Alice was one of the strongest voices we've had, and this world will not be the same without her guidance, especially during these times.
Heartbroken to hear of @sfdirewolf.bsky.social ‘s transition to be a crip anscestor AND feeling so honored to have been alive in the time as this brilliant human, and gotten to learn from her.
May her memory continue to always be a blessing.

This is really cool to see and much needed!
I honestly believe AbleToPlay is one of the most exciting things to be built in the accessibility space, and I have been grateful to see it grow over many months. It's amazing how well it works, and how obvious it is in hindsight that this should exist.

Alright here it is… we shouldn’t put “accessibility” things in games just because competitors did it.
Approaching accessibility by doing whatever competitors did is missing the goal:
1. It might not be right for that game.
2. It might not actually have been the right approach to begin with.
