WCAG-EM 2.0, a process to evaluate accessibility, is coming! We (me, @stevefaulkner.bsky.social and Jeroen) are updating it to:

- make the scope broader (from “websites” to any digital product)
- make it more readable
- bring it up to date (mentions design systems now)

Received my A11Y Antifa shirt from HTMLZ and @stevefaulkner.bsky.social! This is a cool little web nerd shop on ETSY if you haven’t looked.

This fess is perfectly crafted for Bluesky as it suckers in Americans who don’t understand things exist outside America, and people who want to read a subtext into everything.

10/10

If ICE is willing to beat up and shoot at innocent bystanders, imagine the atrocities being committed on the detainees.

Guide to the Inclusive Design Principles

"The principles were developed to plug that gap with people-centred guidance that helps teams make better design decisions without adding unnecessary complexity."

🤖 Pluralistic: The real (economic) AI apocalypse is nigh (27 Sep 2025)

"desperate to convince investors that they can continue to grow by moving into some other sector;"pivot to video," crypto, blockchain, NFTs, AI, and now 'super-intelligence.'"

There's a lot about AI out there but this from @pluralistic.net.web.brid.gy is all you need to know.

For those of us building tech and looking for regime change on internet, we need to be ready for when it hits.

Holy shit, #Webflow.

I understand you may not have anyone on staff to review this LLM-generated ARIA explainer, but you’ve mostly just convinced me your product is a lawsuit-in-waiting.

I’m sorry most of your customers won’t recognize that.

👁️‍🗨️ WCAG’s Longevity by Eric Eggert

"There are several reasons why WCAG 2 is such a long-living standard. The main reasons, in my opinion, are the very solid foundation it is built on, the accumulation of experience with the standard in practice"

America, I hope you never forget the silence of practically every celebrity in our culture. When I was growing up, everyone in Hollywood would have been in the thick of it. I hope we all remember who had the character to stand when it mattered and who remained silent. THEY ALL REMAIN SILENT.

"Calling robot a slur desensitizes you" Are you aware of the things that are happening

ICE is illegally raiding apartments in minority neighborhoods and Trump is trying to deploy the national guard to suppress dissent and people are really out here wasting their time arguing that LLM bigotry is a thing ??? please wake up and care about literally anything that matters

Accessibility testing doesn’t have to be hard. Ian Lloyd’s A11y Tools roundup makes it easier to find the right tool for the job.
