Get a good rest tonight everyone. Tomorrow, we fill our brains with #a11y knowledge until it hurts. #axecon

If you live in: ● Alaska ● Alabama ● Arkansas ● Florida ● Georgia ● Indiana ● Iowa ● Kansas ● Louisiana ● Missouri ● Montana ● Nebraska ● South Carolina ● South Dakota ● Texas ● Utah ● West Virginia You should be SCREAMING at your state's Attorney General to drop the case. dredf.org/protect-504/

Second talk at #FFConf was @tink.uk, an insightful look at AI and accessibility (you owe it to yourself to watch this): youtu.be/Ij-GLix2QUQ More talks coming out next Monday.

Saying something is fully accessible as a misnomer! Accessibility isn’t a finish line or guarantee. Yet we often see products labeled as “fully accessible“- why is this a misconception and what can we do to course correct without losing confidence?

Interactive dyscalculia persona 👩🏻‍💼 Follow Helena as they try to pay for car mileage using an inaccessible service. Thanks to Faye Gardner and the HMRC accessibility team. So happy to be involved in this.

Follow up! Just over a week ago I asked you all what the title #DesignEngineer meant to you, and *a lot* of you responded. I took some time to collate these thoughts, chew on them and provide some resources y'all kindly shared:

“…it means you have the skills to think of them, design them, and implement them.”

My talk, "When #Figma and #CSS Layout Meet", from @smashingconf.com Antwerp is now on YouTube! I dive into the common issue of designers and developers having different mental models for layout—especially grids—which can lead to misunderstandings. Watch here: youtu.be/SDXCC3D7cTE?...

Don't compare your work to what Design Systems Teams of 15 built in 5 years and as many iterations. Don't compare your work to cleaned up "success" stories. Don't compare your work to stuff from completely different contexts. Listen to your users and build the right Design System for them.

It’s the last full article of 2024 and we’re going out with a bang as Jason Bradberry shows us what’s possible in the real world with the new CSS text-box-trim capabilities from a designer’s perspective.

I just started my xmas leave, and... I really need to build a life outside of work in 2025. Being "busy and stressed" has become weirdly addictive and necessary. I’m trying to relax...but I’m already bored. This is pretty tragic 😂

Updated my @astro.build site to 5.0! The update was very smooth: changed to ClientRouter, added a new Zod schema for articles, tweaked frontmatter for the slug handling, and adjusted how the static paths function handles these 🚀

I rambled about about some of the things I’m excited to learn in 2025 - from more accessibility and css, to yo-yo tricks!

Universality and accessibility are the core of the World Wide Web, have always been. We should embrace those and build websites that are available to, and accessible by, everyone. Or, you know, you can choose to build inaccessible websites that exist *on the web,* but inherently are *not of the web*
