Inaccessible CAPTCHA

I was logging into one of my accounts and this CAPTCHA popped up featuring stairs, then it occurred to me that they’ve never shown images of ramps—and I think that’s a missed opportunity for conditioning people to be more mindful of accessibility.

That said, the photo I made above is a literal representation of how people like myself fear inaccessibility.
