Okay, accessibility hive mind. I have a weird one and I could use your input.

Hypothetically, say there's a client with confusing link text; think "Request subscription" rather than "Today's newspaper." This example falls apart a little because you have to assume the link goes to today's newspaper for customers with a subscription and cannot and should not redirect to an order page for customers without one.

The client pushes back on changing the link text because they think it will be "legally ambiguous." In their mind, the text "Request subscription" means "Request [your] subscription" and "Today's newspaper" implies something the customer doesn't have (or need) a subscription for. (Obviously, it's higher stakes than newspapers.)

Have you ever had this kind of pushback? How did you handle it?

ekelseya,

@ppatel Ugh - that is so obvious and yet I hadn't even thought of it. Thank you!

ekelseya,

@ppatel This is the first time I've had a business case presented as a legal issue, and I think that's what threw me.

This was a fun Codepen to put together (no documentation) for coding a shipping status indicator. I don’t get my hands on code often, so this was a neat opportunity to do nesting and media query short syntax, and combine it with the currentcolor keyword and do some pseudo elements shenanigans.

ekelseya,

@aardrian @yatil That piques my curiosity; which do you prefer?

Some of you didn't grow up with bacon grease stored in a coffee can in the fridge, used for frying up eggs, onions and potatoes, and it shows.

@qurlyjoe Three words: bacon fat gingersnaps

ekelseya,

@qurlyjoe Substitute bacon fat for some or all of the butter in your favorite gingersnap recipe. Bake as normal. Try to resist eating all of them fresh from the oven.

I always fail at that last step.

Hey, experts! Do you create executive reports or yearly updates? What does your organization like to see quantified? Anything execs like to see that you think is silly?
