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.

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

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.

Yup, fully agree with this

If 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 mean, literally, the answer to this is "I am federally prohibited from telling you anything about my students without a subpoena or judicial warrant; if you have a subpoena or judicial warrant, please submit it to [Legal Officer/Office] to ensure it is in compliance with all relevant federal laws"
If you have students who are trans no you don’t. If you have students of color who may be affected by ICE no you don’t. If anyone asks you gender or racial the makeup of your class you don’t have to tell them.
Protect your class and protect your students by not complying in advance. They trust you.
