My talk from @perfnow.nl is out! It was a super special time compiling years of information on Accessibility and Performance into one talk. Even cooler that my little family could be there in Amsterdam to see it. 💗 youtu.be/Fdvk_qOKjVM?... #a11y

Equal parts fascinated and horrified by a cougar spotted on our home video cameras the past couple days. Our indoor cat Bagley used up one of her nine lives escaping on Saturday, and somehow missed it walking by.

I'm too unwell to go to a #NoKings event today. But I am filling out my (4 page double-sided) ballot TODAY to make sure it gets in early! If you can, do the same!

the existence of alt text suggests the existence of goth text, jock text, nerd text, prep text, and normie text.

Maternity leave during LLM discourse is pretty well-timed, ngl. Nice to have some distance as I work to keep a newborn alive

I strongly encourage everyone interested in web accessibility to read through the docs. It's so rare to see components with this much thought and actual testing put into them!

If you had a ticket to Grace Hopper and have not cancelled your plans to go to San Francisco, go to @github.com's LinkedIn right now if you'd like to attend GitHub Universe for free ❤️

Inclusive Design 24 is this week! 24 hours of free, live-streamed talks about inclusion and accessibility. You can check out this year's schedule here: inclusivedesign24.org/2026/schedule/ #id24 #a11y #accessibility #InclusiveDesign

All the other official government accounts are posting like terminally online trolls but somehow these people are keeping it sunny. Kudos.

Respected friends and acquaintances, initial-scale is dead! We are freed of its tyranny. You no longer need to include it in your HTML head. It is an obsolete part of your head's meta viewport declaration. The details: vale.rocks/micros/20260... #WebDev #HTML

I’ve been working for months on a course overhaul, primarily at night… not going to finish it before this 2nd baby comes but I’ll keep on it. I’m proud of the updates so far! There’s even a mini design system in the workshop materials now 🥰

We're not changing the name of Lake Ontario. Name it whatever you want at your leisure: https://gulfof.mapquest.com/lakeontario (tag us so we can see your work 🙂)

People who don’t know the difference between ‘entomology’ and ‘etymology’ bug us in ways we cannot put into words.

Seeing numerous verbal offers for tech jobs getting rescinded days later, when there’s no budget to actually hire. Y’all need to quit doing that to job seekers. It’s atrocious!

Great news outlasting yesterday’s outage. #a11y

Refreshing a GitHub token for after I go on parental leave… 30 days covers the time left, we’re getting so close!

Screen Reader User Survey #11 webaim.org/projects/scr... #Accessibility #AssistiveTech #ScreenReader @webaim.bsky.social

Claude saying it will “fold it in” on a code rebase. Where have I heard this before? youtu.be/fCVKCUB5w50?...

I made an app! What Can't I Press helps you discover what keyboard shortcuts are already claimed by running apps, with a focus on screen readers. This helps prevent you from overriding something someone might rely on to get what they want or need. #a11y github.com/ericwbailey/...

The fact that we almost did not get this movie about a little guy taking on a corporation focused only on profit because the studio decided to axe it for short term profit is frankly too much for me right now.

Y’know normally I’d object given it’s still July. But I will get to evict the new person wiggling in my abdomen in September so it’s sounding pretty good.

I just heard someone call Trump’s speech The Pettysburg address and now I have to go lie down 🤣🤣💀

favorite and least favorite file formats: favorite: transparent PNG least favorite: transparent PNG that is not really transparent but just a fuckin checkered background

data visualization is my passion.

Every time I look away from this Mexico England game, someone scores 👀

Bluesky is allegedly horrible to use with a screen reader, so: If you know someone who uses a screen reader, send them this survey. It's THE strongest signal we have for how to build better experiences. #a11y webaim.org/projects/scr...

Steve Jobs predicted cities would be designed around this device, which was "as big a deal as the PC." Jeff Bezos called it "one of the most famous and anticipated product introductions of all time." don't let our tech lords fool you into believing they can predict the future.

we have a rare window of availability at @codetv.dev, so if you're looking to make something special that helps your company connect with devs, now is a very good time to get in touch. I love working with teams that have the courage to experiment & take big swings — if that's you, get into my inbox!

Happy solstice 🌞

Been seeing a trend of this, like prefers-reduced-motion was never a thing. You can still make safe and accessible websites, you know

At least we can laugh at the wasteful buffoonery in this reflecting algae pond situation. The internet is really unbeatable at times like these

Trump's DOJ released a dubious legal memo this morning that signals the Trump admin wants to force more people into psychiatric institutions via bad faith and incorrect interpretations of ADA, Section 504, and Olmstead. New from me at @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Icon-only options in a customizable <select> break three things: ❌️ users who don't recognize the icon have no help ❌️screen readers have nothing to announce ❌️browsers w/o support show an empty dropdown There's just 1 fix for all three cases: keep the text Learn more:

Wu Tang and the burnt sage outside of MSG really turned this all around

A shot clock for people who talk too much in meetings

Making kid birthday invitations is a little easier knowing my way around photoshop and illustrator. Glad Adobe hasn’t killed off every tool I know by heart in those apps! Still got it 💪

This is Chootie. He looks like a dog, but from one of those 15th century paintings done by someone who had only ever heard about dogs. 12/10 (IG: chootieboy)

Just saw that Murray Sargent was the recipient of the Microsoft Accessibility Lifetime Achievement Award, for his extraordinary contributions to accessibility at Microsoft. Nice post, congratulations to him - we all owe him tbh. techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/microso...

a perfect sketch. one of the funniest things ever put to film, imo youtu.be/n-Bfkc6lZok?...

Today, VoidZero joins Cloudflare. Vite remains MIT, vendor-neutral, and stewarded by the same wider team. The same goes for Vitest, Rolldown, and Oxc. Cloudflare is also committing $1M to an OSS fund to support independent development in the Vite ecosystem.

Accessible presentation tip: read text aloud that appears on screen so people can follow along. Even auto-generated vocalization would be helpful! It can enhance an already great talk so much.
