I removed pipes from my bio and you should too.

When someone uses a screen reader on "Designer | Developer | Cat Person" they hear:

"Designer vertical bar Developer vertical bar Cat Person"

Now imagine hearing that on every single bio. Exhausting, right?

Tom Morello opened up with a speech against ICE at a live performance 2 days ago. youtu.be/LLMKAxFtjB8?... #ICEOut #MusicPolitics

Bad Bunny: Before I say thanks to god, I'm going to say, ICE out. We are not savage, we are not animals, we are not aliens, we are humans and we are Americans.

Chronic pain belongs in accessibility conversations. Repetitive clicking, precise movements, excessive scrolling cause real harm to people with arthritis, RSI, fibromyalgia, TOS, etc.

Design for minimal actions per desired outcome. Efficiency isn’t just convenience. It’s pain reduction.

AI works best with guardrails, not open-ended prompts.

Ask it to categorize existing data? Great. Pull structured info from documents? Excellent. Extract patterns from xAPI statements? Perfect.

Ask it to generate ‘innovative recommendations’? Hello, hallucinations.

This is incredible. Sound up.

Hot take: AI music tools are genuinely impressive and can make great tracks, especially stem separation and replacement features. BUT we need serious regulation around training data. Using artists' work without consent or compensation isn't innovation. It's theft with extra steps. #AIMusic #AI

Accessible alternatives have their place, but they're not a substitute for making your primary product accessible.

Whether it's a 'complete alternative' or 'text-only version,' you're admitting the main product failed. Start with inclusive design.

Using Claude to generate HTML dashboards for xAPI statement data has been a game-changer for our learning analytics.
Build accessible data viz in minutes, not hours. Iterate on layouts instantly. No D3.js learning curve.
AI for data storytelling > AI for code automation

I want to see AI-powered coding extensions that make writing inaccessible code harder than writing accessible code.
Real-time semantic HTML suggestions. ARIA validation before commit. Contrast checking in your IDE.
If AI can fix it post-deploy, it can prevent it pre-commit.

thank you. thank you.

If you share images of what to do during a weather-related emergency, share that advice with blind and low-vision users, too. Add alt text. The alt text should include the text in the image, rather than just a vague description, so people aren't missing out on vital information.

Delete TikTok. Hot take but it’s cringe if you ever used it.

It’s cancerous to your mind and now it’s owned by a MAGA pedophile freak who’s turned it into state media.

Going to throw a link to one of my favorite people in fitness who taught me everything I know youtube.com/@billhartman...

We're so weird about gender segregating our bathrooms. I'm in a restaurant that has two bathrooms, both have only one toilet in them. They are still marked as male and female. Why? Should a person really wait until the bathroom of their gender opens up if they're gonna be in it by themselves?

A darkwave song I wrote word for word. I don’t necessarily like that AI music it taking spots on charts, but I do find it interesting to hear original lyrics take on different genre styles. suno.com/s/b4FUqL8KTF...
