My work life revolves around accessibility and user research. I also write books for children and young adults, watch too much TV, and love seeing alt-tagged pictures of your dogs. Profile picture is a selfie with our pittie petting my head. She/her.

The hashtag #accessibility allows you to find lots of accessibility-related resources on Twitter and LinkedIn. To find accessibility resources in Spanish, use the hashtag #accesibilidad. The hashtag #accessibilitΓ© helps you find resources in French.

But how did that help you decide between Carol and Denis? Did you somehow already have Denis figured out? 😩

Yes! A bestie and I dubbed it "prone phone," because it's even better when you're both lying down, like you're in an 90s movie split-screen scene.

As we enter fall, it's so important that we tell everyone to leave those leaves! Mads Torres designed a poster to help us.

Lightning bugs are one of the most charismatic insects we've got. Actions we take to protect them protects many insects!

Get some to hang in your neighborhood!

1. Go to Settings.
2. Select "Accessibility."

5. Thrive.

And the third was "Hard by a Great Forest," by (and about) a refugee of the Georgian civil war. Leo Vardiashvili mixes a blunt, funny writing style with a haunted fairytale-mystery plot. #BookSky #LibraryHaul

The second was "The Fox Wife," by Yangsze Choo, a noir folktale/detective novel set in northern China in the early 1900s. The book has two protagonists, the fox wife and the detective, whose stories run parallel to each other for a long time and then ultimately intersect in a very satisfying way.

Not to brag, but I am on a streak of three good library books in a row.

The first was "Nightwatching," by Tracy Sierra. So suspenseful I had to reach across the aisle of the plane a couple times to grab my husband's arm and hiss "this book is so scary!"

I'm so excited to hear this, because I just finished Nightwatching and was stunned to learn it was her debut novel. I was riveted! (And deeply freaked out, ha.)

Just FYI if you’re posting images of blobs of text, your device may have a little button that lets you copy all of that text so you can effortlessly put it all in the alt prompt, which allows for like 2000+ characters.

Silvia Maggi Design - From human to human, describing images is the least you can do The use of generated text might save time for who creates, but the results are lazy and unhelpful. Don’t be that person.

Describing images isn’t just accessibility, it’s human connection. Silvia Maggi reminds us that thoughtful alt text turns visuals into shared experiences.
