Just saw the 📀🐴 about accessibility in books and...
…Hi-Lo already exists?
Tonight is all about going through all the NPCs for the upcoming episodes of my #StarTrekAdventures and prepping little cut-and-paste blocks so I can send the Betazoids their "here’s what they’re thinking…" updates via DM.
As an example? The #1 best accessibility thing for me as a reader?
Audiobooks.
They don’t trigger my migraines ever. Font can. Backlighting can. Over-focusing/eyes strain can. I can even do audiobooks *during* some (smaller) migraines.
So, I thought the NASA statement would be the thing that made me scoff the loudest today, but apparently The Author’s Guild decided to step up.
What. The. Actual. Fuck?
NO. Just… NO. FFS.
Also it misses the point that *one solution/one sweeping change* is almost never actually accessibility; accessibility will nearly always mean different things for different people.
Options. Choices. Different avenues. That’s accessibility.
What works for one doesn’t necessarily work for another.
