Accessibility doesn't just mean providing ramps, giving people the ability to leave buildings/doors or braille. Accessibility can also mean the following: -Adding warnings to content containing flashing lights, fast moving images or loud noises. -In fact, content warnings overall can be helpful to folks with triggers or sensitivity issues, as well as folks with phobias. -Adding subtitles. -Adding image descriptions to pictures. -Providing sensory headphones to those who have trouble with loud noises or even noise at all. -Making text easier to read, both online and in real life. -Using specific phrases/words (ex. "the lights at the concert were very bright" instead of "the lights were bright")- though use sparingly as this may lead to unwanted infantizing. -Quiet rooms or quiet spaces being available. -Sign language being used and taught. -Labeling things accurately! -Easier access to mobility aids. -Disabled parking! -Leaving enough room for wheelchair users or cane users at crowded spaces/events. -Signs that provide directions! -Emergency buttons or cords in bathrooms! -Turning down brightness/volume when asked. And a shitton more. Accessibility is for EVERYONE. In fact, even the littlest things can be accessible and you might not realize it!

Such a beautiful quote

“Be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here.”

— Max Ehrmann
