Elon Musk has fired Twitter's entire accessibility division. Those people whose job it is to think about how blind, deaf and visually impaired people use and experience the product across platforms have been fired.

The man is an embarrassment.

Did you know about adding alt text on Twitter? It’s not only easy, but super fast to do!

Alt text is how screen readers are able to describe pictures. It especially important when your image has important text!

Why do so many European theme parks have utterly shite disabled access? Trying to find parks to visit in the EU where you won't get flat out refused entry onto rides is a nightmare!! 😡

@jonesy68 @BBCBreakfast The difference being most escooters are completely silent unlike bikes and cars. Even electric cars must now have noise emitters fitted.

@PaultonsPark My new favourite ride in the park!

[Matthew Panting @Mattypmtb]

After not visiting a theme park in almost 20 months, it was great to be back at Paultons Park today checking out the wonderful Tornado Springs!

I really hope Thorpe Park's next investment is something more accessible that can be enjoyed by a wider number of visitors...

Subtitles in 2021. Just to be clear, this isn't a Resident Evil problem, it's endemic. It's easy to get carried away with the progress that is being made, but it's important to see that progress in the context of how far there still is to go.

Accessibility features need to start being listed on digital stores

"Why deny the disabled audiences access to important information that can make or break a sale?"
