Tomorrow is Global Accessibility Awareness Day. So far, 68 people are pledging 258.5 hours toward improving #accessibility in #WordPress. 🙌 This is our second year hosting a virtual contributor day, and we need you! 🫵
My goal is to provide feedback to the 108 themes on WordPress .org with the accessibility-ready tag. You don't need #a11y testing experience to do this. More info in the 🧵 #GAAD

"What you can also do — which is my preferred solution — is re-evaluate the use of the carousel, even if it has already been decided to use the pattern. At this point, everyone involved should be aware of the many disadvantages and few advantages and be able to form their own opinion. Simplifying design with feedback is a big part of producing excellent user interfaces."

A 5-minute lecture video was taking me 30 minutes. Not because the content was hard, because I was constantly pausing, rewinding, typing notes, and losing my place. I finally found a workflow that gave me that time back.

I use dark mode as much as possible on my Windows PC, Pixel phone, and iPads because of vision problems that make viewing a white screen difficult. Some apps make using dark mode easy; some don't. Acrobat Reader is one of the latter.
In this blog post, I explain how to set up Acrobat Reader to display PDFs with white text on a black background.

RE: https://infosec.exchange/@prism/116597464382403391
This is a great take. I CAN write a bunch of tools to make games, websites, tools and applications more accessible. Doesn't mean that I SHOULD BE FORCED to do so. This is people who have given up on their fellow man actually caring enough to include them when planning, designing and developing things, not a first-line solution. This is people who fall back to their last resort before getting fired because #accessibility apparently wasn't sexy enough for the devs making the tool they use at work. I'll give a free summary before #GAAD even kicks off: We all need to do better, preferably yesterday, because quite honestly, the state of #accessibility all across the board is abysmal right now.

@cutesobri @stevenscott Knoppix Adriane is, to my knowledge, still the only distro which actually ships with accessibility built-in. It's part of the Knoppix live environment:

@stevenscott I don't know. I'm a sighted linux user and have never gotten orca to work properly.
This is one of the things #Linux really needs to do better on. A lot better.
-
@JamiePauls Ah hmm. The state of #Accessibility across the board so often feels like an after thought. Sad, really.

A pseudonym that either John Lennon or David Bowie used was "Warren Peace".
Craptions just rendered "war and peace" as "Warren Peace".

Dear A11Y peeps. I'm I overthink this if I want a visual "attribute | attribute | attribute" list, but for screenreaders it's just a "attribute, attribute and attribute" by doing this `<span aria-hidden="true">|</span><span class="screen-reader-text">,</span>`? or is wrapping each attribute in a `<span>` enough? #accessibility #A11Y

accessibility also means giving access to those with ADHD. There ought to be :
- a self-explanatory index
- a TLDR (summary, briefing/debriefing, i.e. Abstracts in scientific papers)
- a tutorial (NOT a full course, but a guide stripped to the bare minimum)
- examples and explanations of them
- clear text/audio/video structure : formatting, highlighting, spacing, categorizing (see first entry)Too often, none of these are present, and the info is impossible to digest. My brain has nothing to latch onto when attention inevitably falters.
Books, for example, are often featureless walls of text. If at any point the 1-dimensional string of text becomes uninteresting (which happens every 10 seconds or so when it's obtuse and unrewarding to read) I have only 2 options : skipping that part and losing an unknown amount of information, or abandoning. Forcing myself just doesn't work.
Everyone deserves the right to learn. Everyone deserves understanding. Everyone deserves conciseness.
