Currently doing too many things, and will post about all of them:
- Accessibility and Standards
- MDes candidate in Inclusive Design @OCADU
- Chairing too many groups @W3C
I have no brand other than trying to be a better human every day. She/Her.
Note for my library peeps: I know ADE is still required for a lot of library lending, but please stop using ADE to read, there are so many amazing options out there, I promise EPUB is actually really great and renders beautifully in the places that care about it.

Is there going to be information on the UI appearance when different accessibility settings are turned on? Like reduce transparency, increase contrast?

I would imagine that the existing accessibility menu features for reduce transparency and increase contrast will resolve a lot of issues (even if it just makes things opaque/flat), but I really wish they had shown that they’d considered those use cases in the design.

I’ve been waking up earlier lately and eating before taking meds (vyvanse) because I struggled eating after taking them. The extra time means I can usually make something nice like eggs and toast, which has helped! My other go to is a smoothie with protein powder and fruit.

With the EAA deadline weeks away and many non-EU businesses failing to realize they are probably obligated to comply, I know this is going to bite them. It sucks that it’s not the morality that will motivate them to change course.

I don’t even understand how they don’t have the right address considering I have updated my drivers license, health card, etc in the last 2 years. I forgot the provincial ministry of finance existed, how would I even check my address 😂.

When I heard this segment on the podcast during my commute this morning I was thinking my worlds can’t possibly collide in this way, but to my delight it was true 😂. Congrats on being Lateral famous!

My setup runs off my monitor instead of my MBP. It’s been a lot more manageable, especially because I switch between computers a lot! One hub connected to the monitor with my peripherals, one thunderbolt for the Macs and an HDMI for PC. Need to switch fully to USBC soon, currently using adapters.

Broad Band by Claire L Evans, it’s not specifically on just browsers but there are chapters that cover the early history and they are fascinating!

This is so helpful to know! I feel like I need a cross-platform accessibility glossary some days 😂.

I am sorry this is happening, no one deserves this treatment. I don’t understand how everyone in media seemingly forgot why he was suspended and dropped by the Edge, did they think he had some magical revelation or personality change since?
