I have been reading through the State of HTML 2023 results site (https://2023.stateofhtml.com/) and I am so disappointed in the overall #accessibility efforts — both in the questions and in the code.

This may become a blog post.

I filed 3 issues today, have filed 15 since late 2022, and only 2 have been addressed:

But these surveys keep pushing problematic info in problematic UIs, giving the wrong impression of… everything.

If you thought we could survive all of this madness, think again. We’re at war with stupidity on a previously unimaginable scale.

I have been volunteered to run the “Practical and Complex Examples of ARIA Live” unconference session at #AccessU2024. So come by 116 at noon with your lunch and… unconference.

Not The Onion

The institute's founder, Mark McAfee, told the Los Angeles Times this weekend that his customers are, in fact, specifically requesting raw milk from #H5N1-infected #cows. According to McAfee, his customers believe, without evidence, that directly drinking high levels of the #avianinfluenza #virus will give them immunity to the deadly pathogen

What’s your favorite “Challenging but Fun” album? Something that’s always a bit difficult to listen to and sometimes hesitate to put on, but you’re always glad you did?

Currently listening to “The Rose Has Teeth In The Mouth of the Beast” by Matmos, which is very much in this category for me

Je viens de faire une présentation au travail sur « l’accessibilité pour les nuls » en écrivant tout en Markdown dans #Obsidian, en présentant ça sous forme de slide grâce à Obsidian Slides et en archivant le tout dans notre wiki juste en faisant un copier/coller du Markdown dans une nouvelle page wiki.

J'aime quand un plan se déroule sans accroc.

Having trouble sleeping of late. Not sure why. Might be the light waking me. But I’m always awake around 5 and then I just doze for a bit until it’s time to get up. But I also have tinnitus that’s been quite bad of late and so have a quiet audio thing running on my iPhone every night.

Mrs G just send over a link to this: https://www.snoozeband.co.uk/products/snoozeband™-deluxe-sleep-mask-with-headphones

Tempting. Anyone tried one of these (or similar)? If so, any good?

J K Rowling calls trans soccer official a crossdressing straight man for no reason.

Look, even Elon Musk has advised her to get some other interests. It’s quite the journey she’s been on but she’s not alone and one day I’m sure psychiatrists will write books about this and other phenomena of our time.

A majority of British voters now believe Brexit was a mistake.
A mistake our children will be paying for, for years to come. A selfish, short-sighted decision, rooted in racism and xenophobia. The world is in a dangerous place, what a time to be isolated.
