My copy of #DigitalAccessibilityEthics showed up! I spent my fika ego-surfing my own chapter. Look at all those real, verified, not hallucinated citations! That’s more than you’ll see in some think-pieces or government reports or research studies! You deserve well-sourced content. Treat yourself.

I am reminded of when `display: contents` claimed full support even though using it on structural or interactive elements broke them in *every* browser. Lola’s work needs your support.

📢 I need 160 more web developers to answer 1 important question. How do you interpret the "Fully Supported" label on MDN support tables? Let me know in the survey below and tell your web developer friends to answer too 🙏🏾 github.com/lolaslab/acd...

It took me longer to understand this image outside the hotel elevator than it took a phone to crack eMudhra’s intermediate certificates.

Related to my last repost covering Lola Odelola’s ACD effort, I’ve demonstrated that Baseline doesn’t consider accessibility (declared out of scope), which is part of why this effort is so important: adrianroselli.com/2023/12/base... Google funds Baseline but we have to fund ACD. How appropriate.

The Accessibility Compat Data project run by @lolaodelola.bsky.social is a vital and much-needed resource. Let's fund it. #a11y ericwbailey.website/published/th...

Made a few accessibility upgrades, prompted by some excellent feedback from Adrian Roselli. www.aaron-gustafson.com/notebook/sor...

Yeah, this is administration is totally not in Putin’s pocket. “More Trump Allies Aided Pro-Russian Balkan Government” www.nytimes.com/2026/10/15/u... “Exclusive: Musk approached Trump to slow down Starlink in Ukraine” archive.is/YreHR#select...

Aaron Gustafson made a web component for sortable tables: www.aaron-gustafson.com/notebook/sor... I’m a fan (given many other terrible efforts). Especially the row grouping. If you use it, I noted 3 things to consider / adapt: adrianroselli.com/2021/04/sort... (anchor) #HTML #accessibility #a11y

Nic Steenhout on ‘AI’ screen reader testing: nicolas-steenhout.com/ai-screen-re... I added it to my post about speech viewer logs (with some bonus nuggets from Weston Thayer): adrianroselli.com/2020/08/spee... (anchor) #accessibility #a11y

This explains why the product shots looked so weird on the models — plaids with perfect lines, weird folds, and odd artifacting when zoomed. The cardboard cut-out model was just the uncanny bonus. Ok, tab closed. (I cropped the photo to show the message buried in the bottom left.)

Trump’s new press secretary, who has repeatedly asserted she is an attorney, seemingly isn’t. Not in California, not in China. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202... Archive: archive.is/4nVBc It’s a continued requirement that you have to be unethical to work in this administration.

While I am glad I run no Google code on my site and only open Chrome for testing (and then close it again, but maybe should uninstall each time), I am such a minority as to be less than a rounding error. It’s truly impossible to avoid Google’s porny tentacles.

I’m overdue in asking you not to rely on VoiceOver behavior as being reflective of VoiceOver behavior. adrianroselli.com/2025/02/whic... Because table sorting this time.

“deprecate the Assisted-by tag” Assuming this is to make it harder to identify any copyright-infringing code should this house of cards finally fall down (weird way to protect your project, but whatever). Anyway, nice to see Linux finally catching up to Windows (probably macOS too).

I suppose it’s good the dude deleted the post Baldur linked, which is also not in any of the online archive sites (his robots.text disallows archiving). Good because that author clearly didn’t believe it enough and now others aren’t getting what was probably a crap argument of confirmation bias.

Something cool I finished last week, Accessibility Compat Data’s website: acd.lolaslab.co You can get an overview of the project, learn how to contribute, have a look at our funding proposal, & stay updated on what we’re building. ✨

Sarah (@codingchaos.bsky.social) is looking for feedback on interactive lists: sarahmhigley.com/writing/inte... She explains the use cases, existing patterns, limitations, and existing work. Wants feedback on Bluesky (quote-posted) or the ARIA issue. #HTML #ARIA #accessibility #a11y

Using Tim Cook, the guy who gave a 24K gold gift to Trump, is not a compelling argument. Even Billionaire boot-lickers can sometimes post fun stuff. Sorry, this 1999-era site isn’t making its 1999-era case well enough to go back to Mecha-Hitler’s CSAM-generating hate platform. archive.is/AXgLi

It's taken a little while, but all the videos from Inclusive Design 24 #id24 have now been manually recaptioned. inclusivedesign24.org/2026/schedule/ www.youtube.com/playlist?lis... Spotted an error in the captions? Let us know! #a11y #accessibility #inclusiveDesign

100 options from which to choose. If you work in or adjacent to digital accessibility, now might be a good way to contribute.

“Abolish frat culture” besskalb.substack.com/p/abolish-fr... Archive link so you don't have to give Substack (Nazi bar) the traffic to read this piece: archive.is/aFBnD

Fuck you, Breville. I just want to get notified when your out-of-stock product *that you make me use* is back in stock. I don’t want to also sign up for spam from you and your ‘partners’. Using your failure to stock your own products as a marketing channel is shitty and you should feel bad.

We really don’t need another post on decorative images, so you won’t hurt my feelings if you don’t click on through: adrianroselli.com/2026/10/deco...

Nice. “aamtest: Testing accessibility in WPT” blogs.igalia.com/mrego/aamtes... “As of today, there are 190 aamtest tests in WPT, covering 4 specs: ARIA, Core-AAM, HTML-AAM and MathML-AAM.” /me winces at all 21 instances of “a11y” in the post

US national security… “FBI teams that investigate foreign espionage hit by cuts, NPR finds” www.npr.org/2026/10/08/n... I bet they could all be rehired for less than cost of national security upgrades to ‘gifted’ Air Force One. Or national security ballroom costs so far. Or national security arch.

What do you want us to work on in 2027? Here's a web app where you can rank the Interop proposals you care about, giving us data we can use to prioritise feature development. interop-rank.fxdx.dev

I bought a case of Rice Krispie Treats on a whim and now I bring some to gaming night. To limit how many I eat, I wrote a note on each so I could only eat it if that event happened. We found a stirge nest as second level characters. I are all the Treats.

Wake up babe, new WCAG nugget: github.com/w3c/wcag/iss... I’ve updated my “Under-Engineered Responsive Tables” post already (because of the 4.1.2 thing where I tell readers to assign a role): adrianroselli.com/2020/11/unde... #WCAG #HTML #accessibility #a11y
