She also makes a great point that most accessibility info is in English. Bilingual folks have an opportunity to help by writing and speaking about accessibility in other languages. It doesn't have to be expert-level, just increasing what's available is so helpful.
As @laura-a11y.bsky.social says, the inaccessibility of websites is mostly a dev problem. These are problems that can be picked up by an automated test, so get to testing! a11ynews.substack.com/p/unpacking-...
"How dare we spend money on anyone who isn't me!"
Recycling the water is ok, but I bet the renewables end up being a tiny percentage of the total power use and the weasel word "some" gas ends up being "mostly" gas.
His point number 4 is the most important one, I reckon. And add accessibility into that, which adds more input and output methods with almost zero material to train on... there's a path to improving it, but it's long, difficult and expensive.
I am so glad you shared this. I love it.
Good to know. I loved the movie, was considering the book
Hooray 🎉
“Hey look at this crazy shit he posted” IS HOW WE GOT HERE.
STOP IT.
Two panels. First a microphone held in front of a cat with long fluffy grey and silver fur. The cat is looking at the microphone. Caption says Sir, are you aware you are a cat? Second, the cat lifts its head to stare at the speaker, seemingly shocked by the question.
A grey and white whippet, curled up on a large cushion with a cozy blanket, in front of a candle giving a warm glow to the scene.
Both! Rory is my older whippet, named after jokes from both The Simpsons and Doctor Who.
hell yeah
That’s amazing and I love it. I’m gonna try it with boxes I reckon
Yes, and in education and prison systems. Any kind of responsibility over human bodies shouldn't have a profit motive.
I've done an afternoon cheese, it's great! Highly recommend. Our waiter was so excited to set our brandied Brie on fire for us. I didn't need dinner that day.
Headset will need to be upgraded to a new model every year. The new model wont have any new useful features, but it will look different.
The only thing you need to know about Tech is that the money people's sole goal is for everyone on earth to pay $150/month to watch an endless stream of artificially generated ads through a VR headset.

Does the outer bag go anywhere with you, or is it a bag because that's what you've got and it just works? (Im looking at the strewn-about detritus of my own projects and wondering if bags are the answer...)
Wow, congratulations! 🎉 You're going to be such a benefit to the work, I know it
Oh I love linocut! I suck at it, but it's still one of my favourite print methods. These are gorgeous, that bee especially
With alt text, because it is true and deserves a wider audience
The people cry out for more of this! Or have they considered getting good at what they do?
When creating PDFs, avoid using "Print to PDF." A screen reader user may still be able to access the text of PDFs created this way, but heading structure, alternative text, and any other tag structure will be lost. Using "Save As" or "Export" can preserve these tags.
SMH economics editor Ross Gittins got a tooth infection that caused heart failure and nearly killed him. 44 days in the ICU. Weeks on the ward and in rehab
Not a single word in Gittins’ article about the experience mentions that dental isn’t rebatable under Medicare
I love your does-not-equal list 🤌🏼
An essay I needed today, by @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social "Things change. They change for the better because we make them change, or for the worse because we don’t show up or lose the battle." www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m... It's about feminism, but could be about disability rights too #a11y
And now it's looking at me...
That's good chicken right there
I asked the same chatbot 5 minutes later and got a different answer. At least the witch in the wood is consistent!
