I wonder if it's worthwhile to create Rust bindings for Prism or create a completely separate Rust-based crate for the functionality that Prism provides. I need to dig into it to see whether any of the functionality is a duplicate of AccessKit. I also need to find out whether something like this has been done before. I don't want to nor need to duplicate the effort.
Any recs or suggestions?

I feel this so much. A great read from @eric on the conundrum designers are feeling right now related to AI. Specifically on how it relates to accessibility.

Angry hot take: If you are an expensive "accessibility professional", and the reports you're generating and sending to your clients are inaccessible, you should just get a new job. There is no hope for you. I've encountered that three times, from three different people, this month. WTF? #a11y #accessibility -

Big update to ‘Form & Number: A History of Mathematical Beauty’: the PDFs are now *tagged* (plus various minor improvements).
A #TaggedPDF contains hidden extra semantic information to assist screen-reading software etc., including alt text for diagrams+images (in the case of ‘F&N’, 552 pieces of alt text were required, some quite lengthy).
The new version is available (#OpenAccess as always) at: https://archive.org/details/cain_formandnumber_ebook_large
Feedback from users of screen readers would be very welcome!
Creating this version has been possible because of the ongoing LaTeX tagging project [https://latex3.github.io/tagging-project/] (thank you to the LaTeX team and other contributors!). I have been adapting my own #LuaLaTeX styles [https://codeberg.org/ajcain/minos] to use the new interfaces.

The single most valuable prompting trick in my whole book is also the simplest:
Tell the AI you are blind, and tell it how that should change the answer.
"I use a screen reader, skip the visual layout, give me the steps as plain text." Watch everything get better.
No Sight Required.

❕ Ein Alt-Text, ein so genannter «Alternative Text» bei Bildern ist wichtig, gerade im Fediverse ...

Wrote to Ko-fi about many accessibility improvements they could make, like labeling buttons and edit fields so one can have an easier time donating to folks, and they replied with, Thank you! We are a very small team and don't have a lot of development resources but we care very deeply about the accessibility of our services. We have taken your feedback into consideration and it's on the roadmap. I've heard that kind of reply so many times I think it's a template at this point but if anyone else wants to, ahem, also say how important accessibility is, https://ko-fi.com/ #Accessibility #A11y

Does anyone in the #indieweb or #a11y scene have any suggestions for best way to add full "image transcript" level alt text to a website/blog articles? 👀
It occurred to me that it's weird screenshots I post on social media are infinitely more screen-reader accessible than the ones actually embedded in my writings, and I'd really like to fix that.
The alt attribute of images is meant to be short, so my current idea is a full transcript locked behind a <details> element that's listed as the `aria-describedby` on the image, but I am unsure how screen readers (or any form of machine interpretation) would handle that.
Thank you! 😊

What Makes For An Enjoyable Telecast | By Donna J. Jodhan, LLB, ACSP, MBA | Courtesy of the PWD Media Co-op
https://sterlingcreations.ca/blog/world-renowned-accessibility-advocate-donna-j-jodhan-what-makes-for-an-enjoyable-telecastDonna Jodhan argues an enjoyable telecast depends not on graphics or rapid delivery but on clear, well-paced communication everyone can follow. Speaking too fast shuts out blind, Deaf, cognitively diverse, and older viewers. Pacing, diction, and accessibility should matter as much as appearance and speed.
