With layoffs at Xbox, sources indicate accessibility efforts have also been affected. What was once a champion of accessibility is now a shell of its former self, unsure if accessibility even has a place at the new Xbox. Read my first report for @aftermath.site here: aftermath.site/xbox-layoffs...

Layoffs Leave The Future Of Xbox’s Award-Winning Accessibility Efforts In Doubt

Former workers say Xbox cuts leave less resources and experts to make sure games are developed, labelled, and tested with accessibility in mind

With SGF this week, I wanted to explore the impact of no remote events, especially as a disabled reporter. This industry thrives on in person events for making connections, but what does that look like for me? Read my first byline for @mothership.blog here: www.mothership.blog/as-a-disable...

I’m not sure there is a bleaker - or older - phenomenon in politics than desperate voters turning to charlatans and bigots for change. Reform councillors will do nothing to help someone’s elderly Mum get social care or keep the local library open for kids. And Farage is laughing his arse off.

Friendly reminder that Disabled people still can't legally get married without losing their benefits! Certain states have workarounds, but if you require federal assistance, you're out of luck. We still don't have access to the same rights as others 36 years later

How do you fix journalism? Fucking pay for it. Stop complaining about paywalls and subscribe. The rise of right-wing media is because the rich funded it. The fall of legacy media is because the rich funded it and then decided not to.

Thank you everyone! Advocating for accessibility is often a hard and emotionally draining job. We often remember the features that got cut and forget the progress we make. The GA Conf awards is an amazing opportunity to celebrate the games and the people who make accessible games possible.
