This is an exercise I like to run at the start of any project. It’s based on a tweet a long time ago by Jamie Knight (and Lion, of course).
The exercise is simple. At the start of any digital project, get the whole team – devs, testers, writers, designers, stakeholders, literally anyone you can round up – together, in-person or virtually, and ask the question:
Who are we willing to exclude?

Your website can be accessible while your documents still exclude people.
PDFs are often a big part of how people access information, but accessibility is frequently missed.
Catriona Morrison has put together an introduction to accessible documents. The first in a series where she'll take a deeper dive into design for Microsoft Word (.docx), PDF (.pdf), and EPUB (.epub)

👋 I'm Lanie, a blind developer pursuing CS and doing accessibility testing after being denied a state hardware loan. I'm raising funds for a new accessible workstation and Mantis Q40 Braille display so I can keep working and studying.
My computer isn't just a machine—it's my communication aid, my regulation tool, and my entire workspace. If you can spare a few dollars or boost this post, it means the world.

Staff recommends this twice. "The critical slope area to be disturbed is
minimal and limited to areas necessary to provide ADA-compliant path connections to McIntire Park and utility and stormwater upgrades necessary for the Botanical Gardens complex." #accessibility #CleanWater -
I know blind people that willingly don't describe their images on Facebook.
I know blind people, actually, the majority of blind people, that *love* cloud based LLMs and can't stand any critique of the shitty people behind the tool, let alone the companies.
I know blind people that want TTS narrating audiobooks and audio description for everyone instead of humans.
I know blind people that sincerely believe audiobooks should *never* be used in an educational setting because Braille is better so audiobooks should *never* be used in an educational setting.
I know blind people that argue against having audio description and against accessibility because we should be fully independent.
Sighted people must understand that in the blind community especially, there's a *LOT* of blind people and even otherwise disabled people that *hate* all this “PC nonsense” PC is political correctness, but they're arguing against their own interests.
It happens in my own gay community too so instead of listening to blind people that hate other blind people, why not listen to a collective of blind people/other disabled people working to better local or digital environments.
I honestly didn't like the Against Access article when it came out, and I certainly don't like this quote being used to argue *against* access/accessibility instead of participating in an ongoing conversation about an optional filter.
Disagree with the filter all you want but *don't use another disabled person's shortsightedness to take away my access.* https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/29496#issuecomment-4429977820 #Accessibility #AltText #A11y #Disability #Blind #Mastodon #Fediverse

WebAIM reports, 56.1 accessibility errors per homepage
Most issues stay hidden until an audit, lawsuit, or legal notice arrives🚨
That’s why Accesstive’s Find layer detects accessibility violations before they become legal risk♿🔍 -
'In recent years, there has been a rush on the internet to supply image descriptions and to call out those who don’t. This may be an example of community accountability at work, but it’s striking to observe that those doing the most fierce calling out or correcting are sighted people. Such efforts are largely self-defeating. I cannot count the times I’ve stopped reading a video transcript because it started with a dense word picture. Even if a description is short and well done, I often wish there were no description at all. Get to the point, already! How ironic that striving after access can actually create a barrier. When I pointed this out during one of my seminars, a participant made us all laugh by doing a parody: “Mary is wearing a green, blue, and red striped shirt; every fourth stripe also has a purple dot the size of a pea in it, and there are forty-seven stripes—”'

A week ago I was super nervous getting ready for my talk at @ioSKonf in Skopje. But I think it all worked out! Had a blast, and I'm so grateful for all the kind words and conversations about accessibility since then. 🙏 Here are some cool shots from the day. And kudos to the organisers for putting together such a fantastic event!
