@darth_na @Netanel @RoxanaStingu @BillieGeena Thank you for the mention! We’ve been quiet during 2023, but more active now.

#a11y and web people, who are the top web accessibility experts and thought leaders I should be following?

New digital accessibility guidelines have been published today. The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.2 adds 9 new requirements with the aim of improving accessibility for people with visual, physical, and cognitive disabilities.

Contemplating the future of web accessibility for nearly 15 years…

How wide is the #accessibility skills gap? @TeachAccess’s 2022 Accessibility Skills Gap Survey examines demand for accessibility skills and supply of accessibility-skilled people to fill those roles. Please share your insights and look out for results! teachaccess.org/accessibility-…

📱Today's code sample is from SwiftUI📱 Creating Accessible Views: Make your app accessible to everyone by applying accessibility modifiers to your SwiftUI views. 👉buff.ly/3xQZ7AH

Day 172. It is not just about applying accessibility APIs, but about caring, and thinking of features that can make your app more accessible and inclusive to everyone. Twitter's alt-text feature is a great example. Thanks, @TwitterA11y! You'll be missed. #365DaysIOSAccessibility

Pro tip: if you're using ARIA for custom radios/checkboxes, you need to use ARIA for the group label — fieldset/legend won't work. #webdev #a11y #aria #forms #tips

For accessible Mastodon apps, the following were recommended to me: on web, Pinafore; on iOS, Toot! & Metatext; on Android, Tusky; on desktop: Pinafore & Tweesecake. #Mastodon #a11y

Another fantastic piece by @LeonieWatson, on CSS Speech, and the ability to influence screen-readers' output with CSS.👂 tink.uk/why-we-need-cs…

@evgave Accessibility is profoundly political and a human rights issue. If you’re here to learn, you’re welcome.

@a11y I did not follow you for your politics. I followed you because of accessibility issues. Quit your griping and focus on what you’re supposed to be focused on please?

It’s difficult not to feel unwelcome here. Maybe it’s time to be elsewhere.

PSA! Make sure your actionable items in your mobile app have a proper trait or role. Starting to see #iOS and #Android apps where non native elements are used to create buttons or links. If I’m using assistive technology, I have no clue it has an action. #A11y #Accessibility

We wrote down how we test for #WCAG (and #accessibility in general). We've shared it as #OpenSource at github.com/alphagov/wcag-…

I am officially no longer the Engineering Manager for the Accessibility Experience Team at Twitter. I have words. 🧵

It costs £581 a month more to be disabled in the U.K. (@scope) and it can sometimes be difficult for non disableds to wrap their head around that… so here are some examples last month of the #DisabilityTax I’ve had. #NEISvoid #DisabilityTwitter

“There is a myth that non-disabled people are independent and disabled people are dependent. We are all interdependent. Many of you like drinking coffee, very few of you grow your own beans” … from a great opening keynote at #assets2022 by @HabenGirma

Are there any #accessibility people here who are 'lone rangers' (i.e. the only dedicated accessibility employee) in their organisation, and not part of an already established a11y group or internal team? I'd love to chat.

Please make this accessible to disabled folks! The image needs alt text. If it's a document you need PDF remediation or at the very least a plain text version available of all the locations etc. #ACCESSIBILITY
