Global Accessibility Awareness Day 2017
This year for Global Accessibility Awareness Day I opted to follow my lead from last year and tweet a series of links to articles I have written. Unlike last year, I am making it into a post so I can share it more easily.
Below are fifteen tweets with two links each, originally spaced out over roughly fifteen hours (I was flying back home, so that messed up timing a bit). They are all part of the general #GAAD hashtag on Twitter, so you may have seen some of them whiz by your timeline if you were following it.
Note that I replaced all the t.co links in the embedded tweets with the proper URLs, so at least for those with JavaScript disabled you can still visit the links without a Twitter round-trip.
