Today, as I was putting together a coffee-inspired colour palette for our coffee shop training demo website, I discovered that the main brown used as part of #starbucks brand/logo/colour palette is actually called “bottle green”. So I guess it’s not brown after all... #aDayInTheLifeOfTheColorblind

@vick21 lol yes, fair enough. It was surprisingly nice, positive, and thoughtful. But then again, if AI is just out to kill us, I’d expect it to be as sneaky and deceiving as it possibly can be. Other conversations will follow, no doubt. :)
I've been playing with #ChatGPT a lot since it came out on November 30th. A few days ago, I decided to have a bit of a conversation with it about the threat it might pose to the future of digital #accessibility.
The resulting conversation surprised me beyond anything I could ever imagine. Why don't you take a look? :)

This week's #inclusiveSpeaking interview features Samuel Proulx, Fable's very own Accessibility Evangelist.
As someone who is blind and values the importance of accessibility in all aspects of life, Samuel is a strong advocate for the inclusion of people with disabilities in the digital world. In today's interview, Samuel shares his perspectives about what speakers can do (or should avoid) to be more inclusive for their audience members.
@[email protected] Well played, sir. Well played.
As speaking professionals, we understand that words have power. The more you research concepts related to inclusive communication and accessible copywriting, the more you’ll find simpler, more efficient ways to express your ideas and thoughts. This is called plain language, and it’s a core principle of the inclusive communication practice.
