Welcome 👋 new followers! I mostly skeet about web accessibility & web dev/design. Sometimes I share about Alaska and crochet. I’m off and on, as I rebalance my virtual and IRL priorities. Also on Mastodon.

When they develop #accessibility features, they make the patents free so that other developers can follow their lead. 🎮 #BlindNewWorld

IN VALEN'S NAME, USE ALT TEXT FOR YOUR IMAGES.

You want to prove you're down for progressive causes? Do the most basic fucking thing ever and use alt-text. Also, use it to describe the image and provide context so that the people who rely on alt-text can experience your image as intended.

bringing this statement over from Alice’s Twitter. it appears the below was Alice’s last post before passing. I am heartbroken
This is Alice's friend Sandy Ho, posting. Per Alice's wishes, this message is being shared at the time of her passing. Hi everyone, it looks like I ran out of time. I have so many dreams that I wanted to fulfill and plans to create new stories for you. There are a few in progress that might come to fruition in a few years if things work out. I did not ever imagine I would live to this age and end up a writer, editor, activist, and more. As a kid riddled with insecurity and internalized ableism, I could not see a path forward. It was thanks to friendships and some great teachers who believed in me that I was able to fight my way out of miserable situations into a place where I finally felt comfortable in my skin. We need more stories about us and our culture. You all, we all, deserve the everything and more in such a hostile, ableist environment. Our wisdom is incisive and unflinching. I'm honored to be your ancestor and believe disabled oracles like us will light the way to the future. Don't let the bastards grind you down. I love you all.

Autumn colors spreading across the tundra in Denali National Park. This was taken Tuesday morning (9/2/2025), with the first hints of snow from the previous week still clinging to the ridges above.

#alaska #fallfoliage #autumn #denali
A wide view of tundra in Denali National Park in early autumn. The foreground is filled with dense shrubs and low bushes glowing in shades of yellow, orange, and gold. Dark green spruce trees are scattered throughout, standing tall against the colorful brush. In the background, steep, rocky mountains rise under an overcast sky, with a few streaks of lingering snow on their slopes. Low clouds cling to the ridges, drifting across the scene and softening the contrast between the mountains and the cloudy sky above.

What designers think UX is: sick ass animations that tap into 300% of your CPU to perform the perfect element transition that's keyframed for the most delightful ease curve

What UX is: make the text bigger and let people hold the thing
homeraudioplayer.app Homer Audio Player for Seniors @homeraudioplayer.app · Aug 31
Designing for seniors: better grip.

Hand functions deteriorate with age, often making it harder to hold things without a large grip area.
Homer Audio Player allows adding screen margins to increase the area to hold.
