The Gutenberg G logo in white on a blue background

One of the most powerful things you can do to improve accessibility in WordPress is removing a third-party page builder and using the native Gutenberg editor instead. In one current projects, this alone resolved 2/3 of the issues. #WordPress #Accessibility #a11y #Gutenberg #PageBuilders

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:
18f.org

Absolutely! More power to you. There is no reason not to do both accessibility and engineering. Although accessibility are separate disciplines software engineering, accessibility is an essential part of creating websites and software.

Hello, @islandvocalist.bsky.social, glad you are here.

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

How about hashtags but instead of filtering platform content for the tag, excluding the tag from your feed? Call them gnashtags. #SocialMediaDev #WebDev #UIUX

In most if not all situations though, files can have improved accessibility without permission.

Ideally, you don’t need permission. Sometimes what the client wants directly conflicts with accessibility. I find that’s easier to resolve when I am running the project and talking directly with the client.

Yes! There is so much tech that can be used for good, like #acessibility. Tech doesn’t have to be evil.
