Book: Web Accessibility Cookbook, by Manuel Matuzovič

#WebDayOut reignited my love for all things Web, I saw in IRL my CSS heroes @jakearchibald.com and @rachelandrew.bsky.social and I won this book my shouting KBD and even I received this suggestion that I tell always to my students to my students “DON’T DO <DIV>S”

For my people in Venezuela, life remains a struggle for survival: $3/month salaries, medicine, water and food shortages. I don’t care about the oil; I care about my people. The figurehead is gone, but until the system changes, nothing has changed

The "sovereignty" argument feels hollow when Colombian guerrillas have training camps in our land and rare minerals are being stripped from our jungles to benefit China. We have lived under foreign influence and internal occupation for a generation

Non-Venezuelan friends keep asking me about oil prices or "incursions." Honestly? I don’t care. The regime has been giving our oil away to Cuba, Iran, and Russia for years. We were "invaded" a long time ago by the likes of Wagner, the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, the FARC, etc.

Where is the transition to the leader we actually elected 18 months ago? Our rightful president, meanwhile, MCM—a Nobel Peace Prize winner—is still in hiding, while the international community fails to enable the democratic change we voted for

While the world talks politics, my reality is personal. My mum is still in shock from the bombs that fell near her home. The regime hasn’t stopped; it’s just changed hands

But the joy is cut short. The head is gone, but the apparatus remains. Maduro’s second-in-command is now in power. Despite US officials statements, she’s already signalled zero concessions—not even the release of our political prisoners

I am deeply conflicted. Nicolas Maduro is finally behind bars, and a part of me is over the moon. This regime is responsible for 8K + political prisoners, 500+ protesters killed, the death of free media, 15 years of stolen elections and pillaged resources, and the list goes on.

Thanks for your question, because helped me to articulate, what I think and I feel about it

A good British friend asked me: Obviously thinking of you in the latest world news. What’s your opinion of it all? And do you have a sense of what people there think? Obviously it’s great to see Maduro gone, but I don’t know what this means for people in the short and long term?

This picture was taken the 23rd of January of 1958 in Caracas, when the dictator Marcos Perez Giménez was overthrown, today another dictator fall and I hope this will never happen again in my hometown, Caracas

Cuban cigars and Venezuelan añejo rum. Wonderful combination

A legislative provision from the Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control. It includes the easing of sanction for Russian banks relating to Civil Nuclear energy transactions. The banks include Gazprom.

BREAKING: Trump starts LIFTING sanctions on Russian banks.

Unbelievable. Just after Putin launched Russia's biggest air assault on Ukrainian civilians, Trump lifts restrictions on some of the Russian banks closest to him. And all done while America sleeps.

An Oval Office, Kremlin-compromised.

US supreme court orders temporary halt to deportations of Venezuelan men The order is the latest example of how the courts are challenging the Trump administration’s overhaul of the immigration system The US supreme court has ordered the Trump administration to temporarily halt the deportation of Venezuelan men in immigration custody, after their lawyers said they were at imminent risk of removal without the judicial review previously mandated by the justices. “The government is directed not to remove any member of the putative class of detainees from the United States until further order of this court,” the justices said early on Saturday.
