The web feels like it’s getting so good at exactly the moment our collective worst practices are getting calcified as the default.

This said, a black bean burger positively rules.
Though we're not so formalized about it, this tracks with how we've been approaching our meat intake.
The point about recipes rings true. We got much more excited about incorporating plant-based meals when we found more plants-first recipes, rather than lesser imitations of classically meat dishes.

What do recycling and accessibility have in common?

While this absolutely sucks, we are going to see a lot more places implementing universal global age verification over this next year, because the number of states and countries legally requiring it has gotten to the point no one can keep up anymore.
My contract is ending at the end of February and so I’d like to find a new role ASAP.
I am a senior-level design systems developer / design technologist / front-of-the-frontend developer that specializes in web accessibility.
I work remotely from my home in Winnipeg, Canada. 🇨🇦

Today is the last day for ACA open enrollment.
Senate Republicans had every chance this week to extend ACA tax credits and chose not to — while families are stretching every dollar just to make ends meet.
Healthcare should never be a luxury in America.
This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
The two hardest problems in Computer Science are
1. Human communication
2. Getting people in tech to believe that human communication is important

I've set up a small monthly newsletter called Focus State.
With accessibility support shrinking in a lot of orgs, I wanted to create something that divides that gap, builds community, and makes the internet a bit more fun.
If you dig digital accessibility give it a look:

It's been one hell of a run, but I'm really glad you're taking this step for yourself. Here's to the next chapter, Salma!
Book cover, “Digital Accessibility Ethics: Disability Inclusion in All Things Tech” set in blue text above a painting featuring bright arcs of yellow, orange, blue, turquoise, pink, and purple; the lower half of these colors show abstract figures, circles, and building-like shapes and the text “Edited by Lainey Feingold, Reginé Gilbert, Chancey Fleet.”
Hey! @lflegal.bsky.social, @rejinae.bsky.social, and @chanceyfleet.bsky.social gathered 36 authors to write about ethics in digital accessibility.
Chapters, authors (I’m one of them), pre-order:

How could you be so accurate in your prognosis? I’m wounded.

It’s Nerf or nothin’.
If you’ve been waiting to get the audio version of my book Black Disability Politics (narrated by @imanibarbarin.bsky.social), it’s currently deeply discounted on @libro.fm!

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.
Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.
They are not the same.
Gotta love how quickly pull request best practices get abandoned the moment accessibility work is involved.
In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.
Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.
Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”
I think this is a common kind of scammy rhetorical construction that makes people mad, because it sets up a world in which the thing cannot fail, it can only be failed. I actually associate this most with diets, but it also appears a lot for Agile.
when im captioning someone's words, i caption all of their words, aside from most speech disfluencies such as uhs and ums.
for example, i dont change "gonna" to "going to" or whatever else to "fix" their speech. it's racist, ableist, and classist to do so.
i side-eye captioners who do that.
TIL: The Japanese Blind ICT Network (JBICT) runs AT surveys (kind of like WebAIM’s).

This gets me every time.
Tell me, why does Musk get to tell Microsoft how to manage employees?
Far right extremism isn’t just threatening media, it’s threatening every single one of us.
If we continue to bend to their demands we will all be forced into silence.

For anyone who pays attention to high contrast / forced colors mode styles:
I wrote up an explanation of why forced-color-adjust: none is nearly unavoidable and how it sets up your codebase for downstream bugs:

Trans rights are not the rights of a tiny minority, trans rights are everyone’s rights to self-determination, control of our bodies, and a society where opportunity and aesthetics are not restricted by sex assigned at birth
You should support and defend trans people because trans people are people
