Boosting. I am not a parent, but as someone who cares a lot about accessibility, Oklahoma Bill 1017 is nothing kind. It aims to remove physical, occupational, psychological, speech, & behavioral therapies from student IEPs & switch responsibilities back to the parent. (Line 5, Page 3)

Infectious Disease Roundup: 1/24/2025 An overview of infectious disease spread and outbreaks in the US and globally

H5N1 found in Maryland's commercial poultry production (among other states) this week.

I bought myself a bag of flaxmeal (flaxmeal + oil is a vegan egg substitute) for baking because I foresee egg shortages on the horizon.

That's my take. You can absolutely tell who wasn't actually using the app by the way they talk about it and that's exactly the type of out-of-touch politics that has been so frustrating. Like, stop trying to speak for people you haven't bothered to get to know.

Is there a design system that works well with Replit? I was trying to use Spectrum by Adobe, because having tested a *lot* of complex autosuggests with screen readers, they are one of the few companies that put in the effort, but it's been a bumpy installation process with Replit.

Me: "With VoiceOver, you want to use Ctrl+Option+Arrows to navigate. Tab is for sighted keyboard users and only hits interactive elements."

Developer: "But I AM a sighted keyboard user."

Me: 😂

(We stuck with it and tested the native screen-reader shortcuts as well.)
