#DisabilityEmploymentAwarenessMonth #DisabilityRepresentation #seeitbeit #TheWestWing #MarleeMatlin
October is Disability Employment Awareness Month—a reminder that what we see on screen shapes perceptions around who belongs in the workplace.
Our research found that disabled adult TV characters are less likely to be shown with a job compared to non-disabled characters.
We're almost halfway through! Come celebrate with us by tuning into John Paton and Jonny Marshall's talk, Synthetic Speech in Audio Description - is it ready?. #id24 #accessibility #InclusiveDesign youtube.com/live/iU3wQtw...

That needs to change.
Only 2.5% of characters on screen are disabled, making disability nearly invisible in children’s TV.
But disability is part of everyday life, and kids deserve to see it reflected in the shows they watch.

My dislike of the iOS 26 bouncy glass UX is stronger than I expected.
Why must everything be delayed by spring loaded, squishy animation?
Why must the legibility of UI text suffer for skeuomorphic aesthetic?
“Reduce motion” and “reduce transparency” are binary accessibility settings, but iOS […]
There are 4 individual images of Captain America is in an elevator with a bunch out Hydra operatives. Captain America says "nice app you have there" the Hydra op replies "thanks". Then Cap says "it's not accessible". The last image shows Cap put in a head lock as he fights his way out of the elevator.
When people ask me what it's like being an Accessibility Engineer 😂
It's not for the weak, that's for sure.

Accessibility is about building a world where disabled people don’t have to fight to survive. By choosing accessibility, you’re not just checking a compliance box, you’re actively preventing harm and promoting life. #a11y is suicide prevention! #WorldSuicidePreventionDay
