“Resiliency needs to be a community, not a callus.” - @ericwbailey.website, Senior Designer, Accessibility & Design Systems, GitHub www.deque.com/axe-con/sess... #axecon

What if we... oh I don't know... stopped caring what Jakob Nielsen thinks altogether?

I'll be delivering my talk on digital accessibility and harm reduction tomorrow at 9 AM ET for @deque.com's axe-con. It's free to attend with an email login. This one is from the heart, and I'm simultaneously excited and terrified to share it with y'all. www.deque.com/axe-con/sess...

"This marketing-friendly idea that tech-as-a-service, coupled with a society restructured so that we all must be always present, always ready, always reactive, made our lives convenient." minutestomidnight.co.uk/blog/growing...

The sheer volume of headlines, lawsuits, and commentary surrounding accessibility overlays can be overwhelming to fully grasp. We made a timeline to help anyone understand and share this rich and cursed saga in digital accessibility. overlaytimeline.com

When you hear “Make America Healthy Again” please remember who the Nazi’s targeted first. They wanted to make Germany healthy and “pure” The Aktion T4 program mass murdered people with disabilities. They tested the gas chambers on us. Please do not obey in advance. Speak out. Save lives.

One nice accessibility feature in Firefox and their font and color customisation settings (for web and PDFs opened in Firefox) for text, backgrounds and links ✨ #a11y support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/cha...

I have feelings about AI & the web & my experience being trans "in tech" in 2025 - so I screamed some thoughts onto my personal web log. I hope for all of us a more queer & humane future. Keep building communities & dreaming better paths. https://www.miriamsuzanne.com/2025/02/12/tech-ai-wtf/
