Heard a good review of this on npr today! Sounds fun.

We need to teach people the difference between being uncomfortable and being unsafe. Because the discomfort of the safest people is endangering the most vulnerable, all day every day.

So cute 🫶🏻

This should be a good event! "How to fix A11y debt without burning out" webinar coming up on Thursday with some all-time greats: @ericwbailey.website and @a11ymel.bsky.social 💜

This event looks great! (I think this image needs some alt text though)

Data Security — Unbreaking How the administration is breaking the government, and what that means for all of us.

@unbreaking.org has put together a timeline of things that has happened around data security (of your personal data that the federal government has) since January and you may need a break or two to get through it 😭

And now I’m listening to The Trucks. Maybe not kid friendly though 😂 open.spotify.com/album/3dIe6Q...

The bug? Turns out document.activeElement is not good as a context reference element for modal-level toasts, as Safari doesn't set focus on click like Chrome does! My hunch that it was unreliable turned out to be true... Really in the weeds on this one

Feeling some kind of smug satisfaction when Cursor introduces a browser bug. The overconfidence of it all 😒😏

My kind of patriotism

Bleak indeed.

I don’t know why I’m getting daily bunnies in my feed but I’m here for it.

Thank you, Rick Larsen!

Ya know I want to say it’s disability pride month and then make a cute remark about web accessibility.

But instead I need to say it’s disability pride month, every elected official voting to take away healthcare needs to be removed from office.

Web accessibility is a drop in an ocean of needs.

Congrats!

Happy "European Accessibility Act goes into effect" week to all who celebrate

Thank you!

They were hungry!!

"[W]earables are key to the MAHA agenda...every American [using one[ within 4 years."

So the MAHA/MAGA vision is total surveillance down to your personal biorhythms, and if you deviate you're not "healthy".

Eugenics and tech going hand in hand w/ total survellance. Will Palantir hold that data?

Dang, that’s exhausting. Maybe check out HipCamp or iOverlander?

Got word yesterday that the A11y Slack community is NOT losing complimentary account status after we were notified of an upcoming downgrade. Thank you Slack A11y team for confirming!

Too cool! Happy birthday!

This is true of popular recreation areas in Washington and other states as well. Call your senators and urge them to vote NO!

The A11y Slack is also affected (15,000 members)

He’s delulu. And the people who only watch Fox are too

I have 2 significant anniversaries in my life this year, 2025: Mr. Rainier McCheddarton the Labradoodle _and_ the A11y Slack both turned 10 years old this year. Time flies when you’re pallin’ around with accessibility folks and a cool dog!
