Hey @sweetgreen, nice *social media vs reality* experiment today. Anyway, on a scale of “broken ass corn chips and spilled hummus” to “measly chicken and cucumber portions,” how much do you hate children?

Reminder on Global Accessibility Awareness Day: accessibility is everyone's responsibility.

Start by making your social media content accessible.

Add alt text to images.

Caption your videos.

Camel Case your hashtags.

Use emojis in moderation.

Don't use fancy fonts. #GAAD

I am so honored to host this panel of incredible experts on May 16 as Sprout Social celebrates #GAAD! I can't think of anything more important or impactful than ensuring that the power of social is inclusive and accessible. I hope you can make it! https://t.co/dtnmFqBXO2

Since Christmas is over my children are naturally planning their Halloween costumes, which has devolved into a deep crisis over who gets to be @ringostarrmusic

[Caitlin G. @CAITplusLIN]

@HeX_Productions @lifeofablindgrl @SproutSocial We look forward to it too! Please feel free to voice your thoughts to Meta, who can update their API to include alt text. 💛 As soon as it's available, we'll add it!

Truly, nothing matters more to me in my work than this type of feedback from a @sproutsocial user. Thank you for considering us, @lifeofablindgrl, thank you for working alongside our team as you tested the product, and thank you for your kind words. ❤️ https://t.co/FZrQ7xiAPL

After months of research and putting various platforms through their paces, me and my team have found a social media management tool that’s *almost* fully accessible.

As a blind social media professional, this is a game changer!

@SproutSocial you are wonderful 💖

Chicagoans have shown they support #PlowTheSidewalks, and they deserve a demonstration of municipal sidewalk snow plowing. We urge City Council to vote ‘Yes’ on the ‘Chicago Plow the Sidewalks Pilot Program’ ordinance.

We love to see it!!

NEW: screen reader accessibility in FigJam.

Screen reader users can now interact with FigJam boards by:

→ Reading out content, like stickies and shapes
→ Moving focus around the canvas and menus
→ Creating and editing content

This is our first step in making FigJam more inclusive, and we’d love to learn more about how this work suits your accessibility needs. https://t.co/YQuaBuSwb4

Join me next Thursday at 1 PM CT for a conversation with @HashtagHeyAlexa on the power of inclusive social content. #GAAD #gaad2023

My review if your feature is not accessible

[𝕛𝕒𝕟𝕖𝕒 @heyyitsjanea]

took this today. i need y’all to understand that this is why ppl in low income neighborhoods are upset when other folks try to act like not buying fresh and healthy food is a choice. it’s because milk is $7 and expires today

@Chris_Grosse Already made this decision for life. The answer is 5.
