I always tell clients truncation is an easy choice for a bad design that can have dodgy consequences. Exhibit number one

Many people still misunderstand screen readers — who uses them, how they work, and what inclusive design really means. Ela Gorla has unpacked the most common myths on the TetraLogical blog: tetralogical.com/blog/2025/10... #Accessibility #InclusiveDesign #ScreenReaders

Would you look at the state of THAT?1 Well, now you can ... It's Friday bookmarklet time!

Another little bookmarklet I put together for one specific aim: I wanted to duplicate an element on a page so that I could apply a focus style to it while having the default style next to it (for screenshot purposes): 👉 Node duplicator a11y-tools.com/bookmarklets...

Shocking scenes from the CAN meetup last night ... www.linkedin.com/posts/lloydi...

I'll be heading off to a CAN (Champions of Accessibility Network) meet-up in London later today and while I usually post such things on a Friday, I'll break the rule here in case anyone who's attending wants to ask me about any of this later.

That's an odd name. I'd have called them "chazzwazzers"

Reporting an accessibility issue and noted the hex value of a colour #bdbdbd. Unexpected flashback moment.

Agree on all points. “JK Rowling and the Gobful of Ire” is a superb headline.

Probably this. Due a rewatch, methinks

Worst. Rapture. Ever

Friday bookmar .... No wait, it's Friday Extensi ... Wait, that's still wrong. It's a Friday *Add-On* drop! My WCAG and HTML look-up tools are now available for Firefox: addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefo... addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefo... #a11y #accessibility #tooling #tools #webdev #testing

Well, I think we have confirmed that the revolution will not be televised

My son has become something of a rollercoaster enthusiast. Whenever we compare what we have in UK to the US, it’s clear that the US Parks have some of the most amazing rides I would dearly love to take him to some of them one day.

welp

mentioned 'Liquid Glass' iPhone update to my gf earlier, people calling it 'Liquid Ass', she wasn't listening, she doesn't give a shit because she's normal, but hours later she turned around and said: 'What was that about Arse Glass you said earlier?'

In case you missed it earlier …

Tired of faffing around cleaning up shoddy markup when carrying out accessibility assessments? Not enough hours in the day to tinker with the many options in the HTML De-crapulator? Then what you need is the '1-Click De-crapulator'! a11y-tools.com/bookmarklets...

Can someone tell me how we're just over a month away from WDC2025?! You've got your ticket already? Right?! webdevconf.com

My mum keeps this in the kitchen, but I decided to move it. So far, she hasn’t noticed.

Oh look, it's Friday again. While it's not something that I do EVERY week, it's the day I like to give you a little treat whenever I can 🤗 Another lookup tool - an HTML reference, this time. More details here: a11y-tools.com/blog/2025/09... #a11y #accessibility #tooling #tools #webdev #testing

Now, if only some of the politicians in the UK had the balls to say what this American so clearly states.

A little update to my WCAG Lookup tool - it now appears as a sidebar panel. I was finding that on some sites (such as GitHub), focus management on the host page was stealing focus from the tool's dialog. chromewebstore.google.com/detail/look-... #tooling #a11y #accessibility #web #dev #webdev

Guess where I am, @kevmarmol.bsky.social

Andy Bell had heard companies were forcing employees to use AI tools so spoke to developers to determine if that was the case and learned some horrors in the process. piccalil.li/blog/are-peo...

Rubber dinghy rapids, bro

Will it be carrots? Fried onion rings? You’ll have to wait and see … Oh it’s chips, it’s chips. We hope it’s chips, it’s chips.

Friday bookmarklet drop! tl;dr – I made a tool to look up WCAG SCs and copy the links in various formats. More details here: a11y-tools.com/blog/2025/08...

Just about to have a tomato soup for a starter, several red wines and a rare steak. To say I’m taking some chances is understating it. Also: no, I am not about to play tennis (or have been)

Friday Bookmarklet Time! I wanted a way to demonstrate an issue related to WCAG SC 2.4.11 Focus Not Obscured (Minimum) in an audit. It tracks the element in focus and adds a secondary focus indicator that sits above other page content, so you can visualise where the issue is, ready for a screenshot

my wife and i couldn’t agree whether to call our daughter angela or melissa, so in the end we compromised and ended up with a melange

It’s just a nip.

When you are a bit worried that you might fall foul of copyright …

Ozzy going out after raising $190 million for sick kids and a Parkinson’s cure is metal AF.

Very well done. Top work.

It bloody well isn’t …

As pioneers of electronic dance music, it’s hard not to go back to the staples: Chemical Brothers, Orbital, Prodigy, Leftfield, Underworld etc. What’s new that I should be listening to that ticks all those same boxes?

Damn. That just seems to be lie after lie after lie (them, not you, Adrian!). Shocking.

What if “Deliverance” but with dinosaurs?

Suddenly remembering the Abu Ghraib selfies for some reason.

I’ve been going to theme parks a lot recently because we got an annual pass for Merlin. My son is a roller coaster nutcase. Anyway, today at Thorpe Park we somehow managed to do Stealth 9 times in the first hour. My heart survived the onslaught.
