When I travel to Japan for work I need to get pre-authorization for my ADHD meds, and it’s always a bit nerve-wracking to send emails to the Narcotics Control Department of any country, but they are so nice it almost makes up for the anxiety of having to claim you have drugs on your customs form.

It's almost time! Join me to watch Victoria Nduka present "Inclusive Teams make Inclusive Products" at #id24! www.youtube.com/watch?v=FpRE...

I can say this now because I don't "work" in publishing anymore, or for a reading system.

If you're basing your opinion of EPUB3 on how it works in ADE, please stop. "EPUB3 isn't well supported", it is in every reading system being actively maintained, ADE is dead, please stop using it!!!

If you make EPUB documents, or build tools for EPUBs, do you think EPUBs should continue requiring the XML syntax for HTML? Tell W3C what you think by filling the simple survey by the W3C Publishing Maintenance Working Group. 4 questions, responses anonymized:

I fear the Apple OS glass effect’s inaccessibility will be justified by the fact that iOS has accessibility features that reduce transparency and increase contrast, which of course don’t get mentioned in this announcement or any coverage I’ve seen so far. Such a missed opportunity.

New favourite election ad might be the conservative one featuring two older gentlemen playing golf, talking about how hard it is for their kids, so obviously they need to vote conservative. Feels like a redundant ad considering “middle-aged man playing golf” is like their key demographic.

Some people want to leave tech to open a bakery or take up gardening. I want to drop everything and achieve my true purpose: Pikachu Mascot.

Just a reminder to any Ontario resident that has a problem getting to the polls or won’t be available to vote in person.

We've just launched 4 new courses at the Abra Academy about app accessibility!

From Tuesday-Friday we are giving free access to one training per day.

For the next 24 hours you can get free access to our "App accessibility testing training".

A thing they don’t warn you about when you get into accessibility is how often you are going to get asked about accessibility legislation, and be expected to answer intelligently. Starting to think I may qualify for an honorary law degree.

For my fellow Ontarians, just a funny FYI that if you haven’t yet received your Doug Ford bribe check in the mail (because we are still mailing checks in 2025), its possible they sent it to the wrong address. I moved 2.5 years ago and they sent it to my old apartment!

It is my unshakable belief that whoever invented Clickup did so after overhearing someone else describe project management software badly in a noisy bar, took that description and turned it into a software product.

Here is a non-exhaustive list of books, sites, and courses I recommend for those new to digital accessibility or those already in the field who seek to continue their education. These are the resources I constantly use to further my understanding and knowledge

A very long thread below 👇

As promised after my talk at a11yTO, I wrote something about my thoughts on training and why it’s not the solution many thought it was (or think it is!). This is also the accidental soft launch of my blog so please be gentle, but tell me if there are any issues! www.reidmore.online/post/accessi...
