I am spending this #GAAD at the Github Assistive Technology Hackathon and am enjoying the community of the event with so many other knowledgeable people interested in #a11y .
I have been working independently on two projects with accessibility features recently; improving keyboard accessibility in #Wireshark and an RTS game, Tribal Trouble (https://github.com/bondolo/tribaltrouble/) to which I recently added visually distinct selection rings (style in addition to color) and improved High Contrast features.

Happy #GlobalAccessibilityAwarenessDay!
Daylish was always built with accessibility in mind, but I challenged myself to find and fix as many rough edges as I could across Apple's accessibility tools, from VoiceOver to Dynamic Type.
Plus a polish pass on editing item details and the quick add flow.
Let me know how 1.7 feels and works for you 😊

Hey developers! Just a reminder that we have an extensive guide on #accessibility in our docs. Since it's Global Accessibility Awareness Day, maybe you'll find some good ideas in there on how to make your projects more accessible. Have a look: https://docs.wagtail.org/en/stable/advanced_topics/accessibility_considerations.html

Three very good guide doggos in training. Spotted while on a pre-opening-day tour of the Seattle light rail Federal Way extension's accessibility features last December.
Seemed appropriate to post today on Global Accessibility Awareness Day. Make sure to alt text your images so these puppers' owners can read your posts with their screen readers! ;)

Cressida Stephenson is only a quarter through #DigitalAccessibilityEthics, but her review is so far positive.
I appreciate her perspective on #GAAD. Which doesn’t mean doing something substantive has to be to buying this book, but it should be more than a post.
I’m not even putting a call to action in here to buy it. So there.

que me dicen que participo como ponente en este sarao.
Hablar abiertamente de cómo trabajamos, de qué necesita cada persona y de cómo nos comunicamos no es fácil. Pero cuando lo hicimos, aprendimos más de lo que esperábamos.
El jueves 21 de mayo a las 17h, personas de nuestro equipo, algunas con discapacidad, compartirán su experiencia en directo. Sin filtros.
Solo lo que es trabajar con una discapacidad dentro de un equipo, y lo que cambia cuando tus compañeros lo tienen en cuenta.
En directo, con subtitulación e interpretación en lengua de signos.

GAAD is our kind of celebration – because accessibility isn’t extra, it’s essential.
Want to make your content more accessible? Start with alt text. Without it, images are invisible to blind and low vision users. With it, everyone gets to be part of the story. 🖼️🔤

"Each year I watch the messaging from organizations who roll out their one connection to #disability and promote it. This can be a win when it helps normalize the idea of fellow humans just being, you know, fellow humans. It can be a problem when the effort is #tokenism. It can be a signal of lack of organizational commitment when the messaging itself is #inaccessible."

Schon gewusst, dass heute der #GlobalAccessibilityAwarenessDay (#GAAD) ist?
Vielleicht geht die Info in manch langen Beiträgen unter.
Lange Texte lesen sich schließlich doof.
Einfache Sprache ist ein Mittel um Texte verständlich bereitzustellen.
Mit meinem #WordPress Plugin "Easy Language" trage ich gerne meinen Teil dazu bei.
Dank der Hilfe von #Capito und #SUMMAI kann darüber jeder Text vereinfacht werden.
Dadurch erreicht man Accessibility.
