Janine Would Ask. Be Like Janine. Add this line to your next job posting: "We welcome accommodation requests at any stage of the process." Copy. Paste. Done. Image of Janine from Abbot Elementary looking shocked FlightStudio1.com #Accessibility #Inclusion #Disability #Neurodiversity #Recruiting
All Your Eras Include Accessibility. Add one line to your next calendar invite: "If you need any accommodations, just reply to this email." One sentence. Every time. Image of Taylor Swift in sequence consume with one arm raised FlightStudio1.com #Accessibility #A11y #Inclusion #InclusiveDesign
Anxiety is Real. So is Your Role. Before your next busy event or meeting, identify one quiet space people can step into if they need a moment — and tell people it's there. Image of Anxiety from Pixar's Inside Out coming in from the right of the post #Accessibility #A11y #Inclusion #Neurodiversity
Lucky Duck Energy: Look, Don't Touch. If you see a service animal out in public, resist the urge to call its name, whistle, or wave it over. A distracted service animal isn't doing its job — and that job might be keeping someone safe. #A11y #Inclusion #Disability #ServiceAnimals #PatoMerlin
27 Shots. Zero Goals. One Man. That's what accessibility can look like inside a company too. Just one person, willing to stand in goal. #Accessibility #A11y #Inclusion #InclusiveDesign #WorldCup #Vozinha
Survive Anything. Navigate Anywhere. Before you publish your next page or document, run it through a Contrast Checker. It's free. It takes 60 seconds. And it tells you if people can actually read what you made. Image of Joel and Ellie from the Last of Us video game & TV show. #Accessibility #A11y
It's Time to Be Kenough — For Everyone. Before you book your next venue, ask one question: "Is this space accessible?" That's it. Start there. Image of Ryan Gosling as Ken from Barbie in a jean vest with abs showing FlightStudio1.com #Accessibility #A11y #Inclusion #InclusiveDesign #Disability
Even SpongeBob Knows — You're Ready!" When someone tells you they have a disability or need an accommodation — believe them. No proof needed. Just act on it. Image of SpongeBob face appears as his yellow body is the background of the post FlightStudio1.com #A11y #Inclusion #Disability

I love Technically Wrong by Sara Wachter-Boettcher. It helped me understand the history of product creation, the intentions behind tech, and even my own biases. Eye-opening and necessary. wwnorton.com/books/Techni... #TechnicallyWrong #EthicalTech #InclusiveDesign #BiasInTech #Inclusion
