Oop! We can do better than this... #AltText helps everyone. Takes just a little more effort, but I promise it's a worthwhile effort. I even created a custom GPT a while ago that can help you generate different styles of alt text for 1 or more images. chatgpt.com/g/g-bqbZtTpH...

chatgpt.comChatGPT - Alt-Text Generator AssistantI generate tailored alt text for images, providing up to 5 variations and user-guided refinement.

Introducing the Bluesky Altometer: altometer.atdev.pro This is an project #atproto that tracks image posts for alt text. It keeps track of the percentage of posts it has seen (since the last database reset) that are *missing* alt text. The goal here is to increase the #accessibility of Bluesky.

I've been planning a scavenger hunt at the #mvpsummit. Here's how it works: 1) Follow me here. 2) I'll be posting clues & pics all week of where to find my #amigurumi friends. 3) if you find it first, congrats! It is yours! They'll have a tag attached. 4) have fun & enjoy the summit #mvpbuzz

Hyperlink text should make sense when read out of context. Screen reader users can navigate from link to link, and can listen to links in a list. When navigating this way, only the link is read. So "click here" or "read more" won't make sense.

🚨Today is a "fight back against imposter syndrome" kinda day for me🚨 Yesterday I passed 🎉the #MicrosoftPowerPlatform #PL600 certification🎉, and 3 weeks ago I passed 🎉the #PL200🎉 (after dragging my feet on that one for almost 2.5 years). 🧵1/6

Because sometimes I'd rather cheer for and uplift others, to remind myself that there are probably others out there doing the same for me. 🥰 #CommunityRocks #WeRiseByLiftingOthers #SharingIsCaring #BeVulnerable #DoTheThing and remember that #YouAreARockStar 🧵6/6

But as I sit here trying to gather up all my docs to prove I'm capable, I have a nagging inner monologue stuck in #ImposterSyndrome mode, repeatedly telling me I can't and won't ever be able to do this… Fortunately, though, I also have #ADHD, so I currently have a constant stream of music… 🧵3/6

like 'Rooster' from Alice in Chains, 'Not like us' from Kendrick Lamar, 'Dragula' from Rob Zombie, and 'My Shot' from the musical Hamilton, just rolling through trying to drown out that stupid voice. So, I guess what I'm trying to say is that sometimes #80HDs can be a good thing. 🧵4/6

Today I officially submitted my name for consideration 😬 to something that I was so certain, up until 4 weeks ago, that I was years away from being able to qualify for… turned out, that no, I am very qualified for it. I just needed to pass the PL600 exam… so ✅ that one off! 🧵2/6

“The next time someone talks about creating a UI-less experience, ask them: Through which of the five senses do they expect users to perceive their product? Whatever the answer, that’s their interface.“ Yup, fully agree with this The Interface Is Always There by Christopher Butler

chrbutler.comThe Interface Is Always There - Christopher ButlerIf it’s not one of your five senses, it’s an interface. This might seem like a bold claim in an era obsessed with “invisible” and “UI-less”

I would just like to pause here a moment to remind everyone in government that while things are very doom and gloom right now… you can implement a strategy of #MaliciousCompliance Told to remove all gender pronouns, then go for broke… henceforth no longer use Mr, Ms, Mrs, Miss, he, him, his, … 1/2

… she, her, hers, mister, madame, sir, ma'am, ladies, gentlemen, boys, girls… Only they, them, theirs, one, pack. Also acceptable are "Hey, you!", "'ello guv'na!", and the southern classics y'all, y'all's, all y'all. + Bonus term: #WIMP (aka White, Insecure, Mediocre People/Person) 2/2

Please let me off the ride now... I really wanted the other option but was out voted, and I'd really just like for this ride to be stopped so that I can GTFO immediately.

self-taught developers have advantages of our own: - you didn't get into coding _by accident_ - embrace your drive - use other skills in your coding - e.g. your problem solving or creativity or verbal talent plus: - play with code! - ask 'why' a lot - try to help others out #ama roe.dev/ama

User eXperience & User Interface are huge parts of everything we do. This A to Z Accessibilty: Power Platform Edition post looks at how an inclusive community can help create UX/UI that deliver amazing results. #a11y #Accessibility #PowerPlatform

hartofthemidlands.co.ukUser eXperience / User Interface [A to Z a11y]User eXperience and User Interface are massive areas of a project. Creating a community of people that includes those with disabilities and neurodiversities leads to better design, better results, and better uptake.

I just can't… like actively going out of your way to keep people from having access to information. Active. Exclusionary. Practice. 😡 FFS. 🥺

Ashlee 🤟🏻@ashleemboyer.com

We're entering a dark period in US #accessibility. The White House home page has a bunch of links with "aria-hidden" and "tabindex=-1". This hides the links from assistive tech like screen readers & makes them unreachable with just a keyboard. Critical #WCAG compliance errors! But who can sue?

I am not ok. Yes, I am cold… Yes, I am Floridian… No, I do not know the ways of the frozen lands and frozen peoples of the tundra… No, I do not get any of the appeal… Yes, I am wondering how tf anyone actively choose this life… also ytf is my power acting like it's an iguana.
