Congress is rushing to pass a bill with massive cuts to Medicaid — $715 BILLION over 10 years. Tell your representative: Hands off Medicaid! https://t.co/kYa0gSvCAT

From my perspective (as a participant in this article), the accessibility consultancy side of the industry is feeling the impact, which includes me, not that accessibility work as a whole is impacted. A lot of great work is still being done and pushing the industry forward.

The thing that has impacted is consultancy and lack of media coverage for accessibility unless it's discourse or trending. Yes as part of what's happening with the industry, hiring freezes, no headcount, and layoffs, accessibility is being affected, but it's not being targeted.

Most people save hard tasks for later, but it's better to tackle them first.

Evidence: Doing difficult tasks early boosts productivity, creativity, helpfulness, and relaxation—especially for early birds.

Starting the day by conquering a challenge elevates energy and efficacy.

There are many wonderful game accessibility nonprofits doing life changing work, from SpecialEffect to Makers Making Change, from NothingWithoutUs to Everyone Can, from CapGame to Warfighter Engaged to the Let's Play Games Project.

Don't let the current news distract from that.

@Black1976 100% I get simulation sickness and Teleport is the only way I can use any VR that includes movement through a virtual space. Fun fact: first experienced this watching my brothers play Wolfenstein on our Packard Bell in the 90's.
