A small pocket of joy for you: this video of Thor hopping because my mom gave him his favorite treat.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NICHOLAS HOULT

@Metalhead_Art @MaleyjayDoodle @FortniteStatus @voidewy ok

Hey everyone, we're aware that players may be experiencing issues when trying to use Quick Weapon settings on Controller inputs. The team is working on a fix and we'll provide an update when we have one.

Hello. I am probably not going to on this formerly-known-as-bird app very much because I have been dealing with very bad, very draining health issues. Back offline I go. I hope you're all well.

@nanobytes_co I KISS

my cat is so round and i hope that makes you as happy as it made me

“This is what disability advocates have said all along…The able and the disabled aren’t two different kinds of people but the same people at different times. Last year, I was healthy; this year, I had a breathing ailment, even if nobody could say exactly what that ailment was.”

The other thing I need ALL of my people to embrace is this: you cannot outperform, out accolade, out accomplish, etc., white supremacy. You cannot. It’s not a meritocracy. You’re mad because deep down, you still think it is, even if it’s unbalanced. It’s not.

Dang, it’s been a while since I’ve been on here, we’re still cool, right? 🥺

To paraphrase James Baldwin, to be a writer is to witness. I wrote this on why Palestinian liberation is #DisabilityJustice Please read and share disabilityvisibilityproject.com/2023/12/02/why… #FreeGaza #FreePalestine #CripTheVote #AltTextPalestine #DisabilityRights #IDPwD

never underestimate the friendship between a black girl and the alt nonbinary person she don’t play about.

Almost every argument against accessibility comes down to the belief that someone's business, product, or service deserves to exist more than disabled people deserve to have access and community. It presupposes that disabled people are burdensome. That's garden-variety ableism.

1. Nobody has ever said you can't build things for fun, actually 2. If the idea of serving your users crushes the fun of web development for you, you're weird and miserable

I love when people are bold with their ableism. "I would have no problem if [building accessible websites] were only a moral obligation [...]. Legal obligations that require a developer add something frustrate me, because they essentially crush people doing things for fun."

@fiinixdesign I'd say both. Disabled don't people "need" non-Disabled support to succeed, and I'm not saying we should ever prioritize hiring non-Disabled people specifically – only that non-Disabled people should be the ones bearing the brunt of an ableist environment where possible.

@codeability This is one of the questions I keep battling with every day. Do we make spaces anti-ableist first, or hire Disabled people to shape what that should even look like first? I think it's probably a bit of both—but genuinely would love your take.

hear me out: i don’t think that hiring Disabled people for accessibility work is always the right call. unless they’re prepared for it, i wouldn’t want to put Disabled people into a space where no one has done work on inaccessibility or ableism. that’s a recipe for more harm.

@alvaro_montoro My post addressed devs, the people who can ingest news of this bug and work around Apple's shortcomings. My choice to pick a specific topic for my post on this microblogging website and then do a little quip at the end does not mean I am letting browser vendors off the hook.

@codeability And I know that the person who uses Safari/VoiceOver doesn't care who is at fault. They get a broken experience either way. So, in the end, it doesn't matter much.

PSA: Accessibility mappings for <summary> are broken in Safari as of at least version 17 (can't test earlier at the moment). - MacOS: VoiceOver doesn't report changes in state of <summary> when you toggle it - iOS: VoiceOver doesn't report *any* semantics or state changes. 1/2

@alvaro_montoro I'm aware of that. My grumble at the end is because people often (well-meaningly) say that we get accessibility "for free" by using things that come from the web platform. People have the impression that platform-native things are flawless. They obviously aren't.

@codeability This is pointing fingers in the wrong direction. The HTML definition is not to blame, but the implementation that Safari/VoiceOver did of it.
