The tomato has become caprese!

The new pain au chocolate at HEB is dangerously delicious. Would recommend.

every few months, americans are asked to resume their banquet and pretend a shooting didn't just happen

I need to get started on my half of this conference talk today which will cover how disabled people use AT with native mobile apps #AccessU knowbility.org/programs/joh...

To be clear: Attiah isn’t so concerned with promoting exotic sounding words, but why a category of crime that’s far more common than “patricide” doesn’t have a descriptor that’s in everyone’s vocabulary.

Remember when websites could still sort of make sense if the CSS didn't load and it was like, something you felt proud of

First tomato of the year #gardening

@gbbns.co nailed it with this article. Engineering directors everywhere need to read this and reckon with the removal of front-end specialists. gbbns.co/journal/acce...

The Accessibility Problem Isn't Design. It's Engineering. Chris Gibbons argues that designers can document all the accessible components they want; in most companies, full stack developers don’t know how to actually implement them.

Zhang Shan won the gold medal for the mixed skeet shooting event in the 1992 Olympics. The International Shooting Union *immediately* banned women from competing against men.

@jaredcunha.com thank you for this post jaredcunha.com/blog/accessi...

Total cat minion status in effect! All four cats are with me on the couch. This has never happed before #catsOfBluesky

I work in some repos that have Claude Code enabled for PR reviews as an initial first review. My problem with it for accessibility work is that it (so far) gets the suggest about 90% right, but that last 10% is confidently wrong. If you don't know how it's wrong you'd end up with just another issue.

If Democrats in power are not using every lever they have to obstruct Trump now, why would you believe they would do it later?

Massive overconsumptioncore events like #Coachella confuse me. Save your quarters, kids.

It’s absolutely incredible that one of the largest Japanese-run Go servers, which has been running since 1992, is still accessed entirely via Telnet. And while most players use GUI clients that use Telnet under the hood, you can still connect manually and get ASCII graphics streamed to you

People say 'the work speaks for itself'. Maybe that's true for some things, but it is never true in organizing. You absolutely need to share the work, often and always. There are new people coming of age daily and also most organizing is not visible to most people.

I feel very behind this week

After a year of watching financial YouTube videos, I don’t ever want another car payment. Current goal is to save enough to pay cash for the next one (when this one dies).

<h1> to <h6> are HEADINGS <header> is a HEADER <th> is a TABLE HEADER <thead> is a TABLE HEADER GROUP file under #HTML terminology

"Over-diagnosis" is a fiction designed to cast doubt on historically under-researched diseases which disproportionately affect women. Patients either meet diagnostic criteria or they don't.

So excited that Rush is going on tour again!

You probably wouldn't publish an article filled with mistakes, so don't do it with transcripts or video captions, either. Auto-transcription services can be a great starting point, but that's what they are: a starting point. They still need editing to be publication ready.

[2/2] The Congressional remedy is impeachment, which I have voted for at every opportunity. Yet without some GOP support, we cannot approve it. Meanwhile, we must continue demanding that GOP electeds speak up and begin to recognize that this unhinged President is endangering us all.

The President of the United States is posting threats to do genocide and we’re ‘supposed’ to “just go about our day?” I cannot.

I love being able to shop for our groceries in an app and then showing up at the store and having someone load them in the trunk.

I was randomly reminded of the ridiculous Flash animation site rathergood.com (no longer Flash)

It's always interesting how the U.S. MSM runs around accusing others (specifically Muslims of waging *Holy* wars) but the Christofascists in charge of the US government aren't apparently waging *Holy* war. I haven't seen a single mainstream media mention of this. Drudge has framed this war correctly

Is it an FCC violation to quote the president verbatim? Asking for a friend

All four of my furbabies are keeping me company this #caturday while cat dad is out of town.

Don’t sympathy like sad pet stories. Many regerts

Links need more than just a color change to distinguish them. If your solution is `font-weight: 500`, don’t be surprised when you get dinged for 1.4.1 Use of Color. `500` often renders no differently than the default (`400`). It’s adversarial conformance. Use an underline. #accessibility #a11y

It’s very irksome that many systems force lowercase the T in my last name. Delta did this and it’s why I had trouble adding my KTN. Why do engineers choose violence?

Out internet has been down since last night and we are each trying to work over a cellphone hotspot. This is why page load size still matter. Not everyone has broadband.

Got the battery in the iPhone 12 mini replaced at the Apple Store and switched to the Vivaldi browser to see if Firefox was draining it.

I just returned my iPhone to the Apple Store in under 2 minute. 5 star customer experience.

Just don’t look at your retirement accounts for awhile.

New #accessibility blog post from me: racheleditullio.com/blog/2026/03...

Looking for an HP alternative? May I recommend my favorite fantasy series as a kid: The Chronicles of Prydain.

I’m really missing my cats tonight who are 1654 miles away according to their AirTags.

Automatic captions make it difficult to watch videos because the viewer is forced to decipher misspelled or mistranslated words that appear in a string of text without any punctuation. These can be distracting and disorienting. Always edit your captions before publishing.

If you’re trying to save up an emergency fund (6-12 months’ salary), look into opening a high yield savings account (HYSA). You can open these accounts with online-only banks and make a much higher APY than traditional savings accounts.

I got to use the autocomplete bookmarklet I wrote in a real audit this week. It’s nice doing more web #accessibility work again. racheleditullio.com/blog/2023/11...

I remember when everything started moving to apps and I was morally offended at the idea of having to download all these little programs to access services when the Internet was right there and you know what, I was right
