(And of course, sharing is much appreciated. Structure would benefit me a lot!)
from A to Z. I can do assessments, gap analysis, training, support, write code.. I can even put up posters in your coffee corner to get accessibility on the map.
As part of inklusivo, I will make sure the best people are involved. Contact me and we will get all your products and services in order!
The Scaled Accessibility Model visualised. Mission and vision come through management. Practitioners are supported by a mandate and requirements from management, resources, goals and community and culture.
I am looking for a company that wants an accessibility at scale.
I do really really well with repeating booked days; weekly days focussed on specific companies. I don not have that right now, and that's not working well for my mental state. So:

I've been using obsidian purely for markdown notes for a long time now.
Then I read about "daily notes" yesterday. 👀

What's filling my thoughts? Spring!
Attached are 5 pictures. I don't know all the plants. But I do know it's mindblowing these have buds that are either close to opening, or opening already.
Also: I can't wait. Spring so very much the best season of all of them. Let's go!
A blue on gray text: "WFT"
Contrast-issue of the day. This blue on gray text has a contrast of 2.71∶1. That's less than the required 4.5∶1 for regular text.

My first reaction included the same 3 letters as the image. Different order.
Thanks, so many good videos in that source!
You share with somebody what accessibility is.
What links do you give them after that?
You're not making the most out of technology, if what you build is not accessible.
HTML is accessible at its core. If what you build is not accessible, then you've made it worse.
I'm writing an introduction to accessibility where I feel like I scrap more than I write. This is a text that didn't make it because it was out of scope.

Oh no. They ruined Hemingway Editor with AI 😢
Reading statistics about accessibility and disability always make me wonder:
"Is there a reasonable number of people to exclude and discriminate against?"
There's no "super designer magic trick", is there? 😬
Whatever is so very whatever
What is your favorite way to make a text (page on a website) seem less massive/intimidating?

I'm happy that works for you. Thanks for the effort. But no thanks.
Be right back. Taking a shower.
I made a clickable span and now I feel dirty 😬

For me it's RSS > bsky/mastodon. Optionally LinkedIn and Pixelfed.
And other channels vary much more. Reddit, discord, slack..
I'm in writing mode. I've been working on an "introduction to accessibility" for a bit now. One that's so good everybody wants to share it, and I'll never have to repeat myself (🤞🏿).
If anybody wants to proofread. You're very very welcome.
So you had to stab them? That's sad...
Hurray! 🎉

A lego spaceship (star wars millennium falcon) built with a very creative selection of pieces and colours.
Comparing Design Systems/Accessibility with Lego again:
- You can't guarantee people build great things with great parts.
- You can't expect people to build great things with terrible parts.
Make building accessible the most evident way of building. Do your thing but make it inclusive by default.
Thank goodness expertise transfers so easily.
