The #EAA deadline passed. Now come the consequences. 2 examples: Netherlands - orgs must quickly report #a11y issues & fix-it plans. France: lawsuits & public pressure are heating up. If u do business in EU, this is a must read. www.deque.com/blog/digital...

US State & local gov: are your public websites & apps accessible? DOJ requires WCAG 2.1 A/AA by April 2026 (2027 for smaller entities). Lawsuits are rising. But #a11y is more than risk...it's better design for all. ⏰The clock is ticking. statescoop.com/state-govern...

The Design & Disability exhibit at the V&A explores dignity, creativity, resistance, & joy. Stratford’s “Public S/Pacing Resting Blanket” + Armstrong’s “Radical Act of Stopping” = brilliant. Rest is part of design. #a11y #inclusive www.vam.ac.uk/exhibitions/...

I ❤️ earcons. Little audio icons: fast, intuitive, full of meaning. If u can hear, they’re great. But no one should have to hear to get info. I wish we had an open source #a11y earcon dictionary to give every ding, pop & swoosh a clear, consistent meaning.

Touch the future. Tech that feels, not just sees or hears. #haptics started as good vibes, are now expanding to bendy polymers, soft puffers, & hot/cold zaps. Imagine uses in VR, prosthetics, rehab, wayfinding, communication, & more news.rice.edu/news/2025/re... #a11y #feelTheFuture

AI + Brain-Computer Interfaces #BCI = next #a11y revolution? Will Synchron’s BCI let u control devices w thought alone? Huge potential, but will people w disabilities have full control, & ability to override & adjust? Tech should extend agency, not replace it. 🔗 www.wired.com/story/synchr...
