Such an honor to host the 2025 @arabic.games Showcase with a tremendous lineup of Arab made games from all across the Arab World.
More than 60 games and tools, across an hour, and I cannot be more proud. Big kudos to the team behind the scenes, and speakers throughout.

And led to the recruitment of the amazing @billygregory.bsky.social
I'd work with them again without hesitation. And so should you!

My best advice for becoming a digital accessibility specialist is to make it your job, regardless of your title.
Making a presentation? Putting together a design? Building something in code?
In anything you do, be curious about what it takes to make it more accessible

They personally don't need them "yet".
They're basically advocating against their older selves' needs.
Slower reaction times, lower vision, arthritis, shorter memory, smaller attention span, you name it.
They'll come around one day and thank us when they can still play.
