"Given OpenAI’s general flakiness when it comes to UI design, accessibility and usability, I installed the browser with little enthusiasm as I felt it was going to be crap accessibility wise. But we can always hope…"

🖼️ new art on, perpetually in renovation, old bingo hall. Richmond road, Kingston upon Thames. Appeared while i was away in Toronto

#art #politics
a large, black-and-white poster of a black woman with a powerful, contemplative expression. Surrounding her are intricate floral designs, adding to the bold visual impact. The words "POWER TO THE PEOPLE" and "POWER & EQUALITY" are displayed prominently in the artwork, emphasizing themes of social justice and empowerment. The piece is framed within a wooden board covering a doorway, suggesting it a somewhat makeshift setting. Above the mural, there’s a graffiti tag that reads "ROSE," adding an extra layer of street art culture to the scene.

🤔 If you could get one #accessibility (or accessibility adjacent) person into the hot seat for a bunch of questions that pull no punches who would you choose??
"Fireside chat: the resurrection". The background is engulfed in bright orange flames. On the left side, there's a cardboard chair shaped like a pixelated animal or abstract creature. On the right, there's a colorful, plush armchair with a rainbow pattern and a heart-shaped backrest. Above the rainbow chair, a silhouette of a person is upside-down in midair, seemingly falling or diving into the flames. The title text is styled with contrasting fonts: “Fireside chat” is in large, gradient-shaded bold serif letters (from orange to plum), while “the resurrection” appears in glowing neon green sans-serif letters beneath it.

check your mastodon dm’s i have a proposition for you
a cardboard chair and a rainbow plushy chair sit atop intense flames. Above it says “fireside chat, the resurrection” on the right are the uplifting and giving stick arms of the swallow in the form of a symbol or emblem. (the same symbol is used by Loserway)
