For all of those who have been asking for this: I've just released a new version of #HearthstoneAccess which allows you to fully play the first Book of Heroes adventure: the story of Jaina Proudmoore. Have fun!

Oh look, it's the quarterly @Facebook @Messenger redesign that destroys accessibility for screen readers! Having Table HTML elements for the messages must be a brilliant idea. Also, nobody cares about Landmarks, so they're all gone now. #accessibility #a11y

Morbid screen reader humor . screen readers truncate Windows notifications. Message said: " If you do not want to receive SIP status alerts then you can disable them from your Account Preferences". What I heard: If you do not want to receive SIP status alerts then you can die..."

I listened to the 9/11 episode of @TalkDescription, that was such an immersive episode. I was sighted during those events and I vividly remember them, but that episode was still amazing to listen. Highly recommended. #Podcast #TalkDescriptionToMe #AudioDescription

Things we still don't know about #PS5: #Accessibility.
- Accessibility options from a System level
- The UI
- A hardware accessible controller
- An accessibility initiative besides from Studios.
I love PlayStation. Always will, but we need to know these things.

That God Of War soundtrack is so dope. If the game is not accessible to us blind players, I'm at least hoping for an audiobook, just like the first game. #GodOfWar #PS5 #PlayStation

Let me guess, they revealed the #PS5 release date using text without any narration and then the guy just said "So now you know."? Uhm, dude, nope I don't know. *sighs* #accessibility #a11y #Sony

Oh look it's that day of the year again. The Facebook @Messenger website UI updated and now the left column is not accessible to a screen reader, so you have no idea which user you are focused on. The names of the people are not being read by the reader #accessibility #a11y
