My best advice for becoming a digital accessibility specialist is to make it your job, regardless of your title.
Making a presentation? Putting together a design? Building something in code?
In anything you do, be curious about what it takes to make it more accessible

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.
He is a computer safety researcher.
And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

Some of y'all know @peruvianidol.com from #designsystems stuff. Mike's doing a 24-hour stream raising money a children's hospital. He's ~$1500 away from his goal. It'd be cool if you could help out and pitch in a few bucks.

I've never been this invested in a mayoral race, much less for a city I don't even live in. If you held a gun to my head, I couldn't tell you the name of the mayor of my own town, a person that I voted for.

this is such a great encapsulation of why this race feels existential even to people outside NYC. Cuomo as the final boss of everything wrong with the current Democratic Party, Mamdani happily grabbing the third rails everyone’s told are too dangerous to touch (trans people, Muslims, socialism)
It's uncanny how Cuomo has been laser-focused at appealing to the absolute worst qualities in people - their insularity, their tribalism, and now their fear. A campaign monumental in its cynicism, a colossal bet by this man and his billionaire backers that people are basically bad.
This isn't a closing election argument, it's Vidkun Quisling explaining why surrender is better than resistance.

Got it but what are the downsides
Johnson: "If they had no filibuster, they would pack the SCOTUS. You'd go from 9 to 17 or however many liberals they could pack. You would make DC & Puerto Rico into states, which would give 4 additional Democrat senators & make us a permanent minority. You'd see massive restrictions of 2A rights"

Earlier this week I flew to Oslo and gave a talk at Y-Oslo. It’s a talk about the human spirit, believing in yourself, how AI is bullshit, and how capitalism robs us of our confidence. Pour yourself a cup of coffee or tea or whatever makes you happy and enjoy: www.youtube.com/watch?v=zH2d...

Long ago, when I left my role as "webmaster" for a medical association, I vowed never to do HTML emails again. And yet today I have been thrust back into the fires of hell.

I had a chat with @nerdy.dev about his somewhat recent job hunt, where he talked a lot about the misalignment between the technical interviews and the roles they were looking to fill... and how even if they tried to fix the interviews, it didn't seem to help 😅
