Cis friends in the US, please consider calling your senators. This amendment would strip health care coverage for so many trans people.

I was hit with paywall the first time I look at the Forbes Accessibility 100. Now that I can (archive link: archive.is/G0ZCD), I was trying to find a breakdown of disabled folks (to start). It seems Angela Young has already pegged it as low: www.linkedin.com/posts/dr-ang... #accessibility #a11y

Most viewed from what? People who rarely log in? People who rarely post? People named Adrian? Sorry, LinkedIn, not buying into your bullshit to squeeze yet more personal data out of me. Maybe do something to boost trust?

“Why do people have such dramatically different experiences using AI?” shkspr.mobi/blog/2025/06... Here we have Google engineers paid to see nothing wrong, a tool that is objectively worse at OCR than old-school OCR, pretend confidence in the output by that tool, and reliance on users not caring.

If you’ve paid attention to my ramblings over the last decade-plus, then you’ve heard me to talk about selfish accessibility. It’s nice to see others embrace it. “Selfish reasons for building accessible UIs” nolanlawson.com/2025/06/16/s... #accessibility #a11y

Lucy has opinions about overlays that should feel familiar to just about everyone: “Don’t use that accessibility overlay” accessaces.com/dont-use-tha... Definitely don’t use ones that collude with drive-by lawsuit attorneys. #accessibility #a11y #overlay

This is the first time I’ve heard of a web #accessibility lawsuit demanding an overlay: www.linkedin.com/feed/update/... I am assuming incompetence (Hanlon’s razor), but given the amoral and illegal behavior of some #overlay companies, I have to be open to collusion. No link to filing. #a11y

So what I’m hearing is that #Buffalo in the ’80s put on a better military parade. bsky.app/profile/dave... Also, I may have been at that parade (the one in Buffalo, not today’s in DC).

You probably know I get frowny when browser makers lie about support or pretend their late implementation of a feature is somehow new, so I am suffering from a bunch of confirmation bias (and validation) here: “Safari at WWDC '25: The Ghost of Christmas Past” infrequently.org/2025/06/the-...

Once again for the devs in the back… If an image has a blank alt (`<img alt="">`), then `aria-hidden` is redundant and unnecessary and redundant.

bsky.app/profile/scot... Mine are also linked: open-ui.org/components/m... And they correctly note APG are not guidelines. I appreciate the pre-emptive effort to appease me (yes, I know it’s not about me, but my ego doesn’t). A bit amusing since these elements exist. #accessibility #a11y #HTML

Actually LOL'd at my very snarky post on the HTML menu element being linked in this intent to prototype. but give this a look see. poke around the open ui discussions. give feedback if you are able to do so. the goal here is to reduce the need for the ARIA patterns & instead provide them natively
