Squee!

I got an email last night from someone who wants to start an accessibility department sort of thing for their own local anime con and wanted my advice!

I just spent over an hour getting down everything I could think of in a reply email, including a few of my own shortcomings and foibles, because it's good to know that nobody's perfect, and also getting accessibility better everywhere is the goal. It was a lot of words and a lot of thinking, but it was totally worth it, and I really hope that person can do everything they want with making "their" con accessible ♥

And now I need a drink of water; that was a lot of work!

oh excellent!

With any luck, in a few days I'll see about cannibalizing that email's contents to make a general "How to Accessibility Your Convention" post sort of thing. I've been meaning to write one of those for aaaaaaages (literally, years), and here was a convenient excuse, just for me!

even better!

Good idea!

Looking forward to it!!

Yeah, I offered to do something like that, uh... *checks Tumblr drafts* Holy cow, sometime late July or early August 2016? So yes, I was/am very glad for an excuse to kick executive dysfunction's butt and at least get a rough draft done!
