Steve Jobs predicted cities would be designed around this device, which was "as big a deal as the PC." Jeff Bezos called it "one of the most famous and anticipated product introductions of all time." don't let our tech lords fool you into believing they can predict the future.

we have a rare window of availability at @codetv.dev, so if you're looking to make something special that helps your company connect with devs, now is a very good time to get in touch. I love working with teams that have the courage to experiment & take big swings — if that's you, get into my inbox!

Happy solstice 🌞

Been seeing a trend of this, like prefers-reduced-motion was never a thing. You can still make safe and accessible websites, you know

At least we can laugh at the wasteful buffoonery in this reflecting algae pond situation. The internet is really unbeatable at times like these

Trump's DOJ released a dubious legal memo this morning that signals the Trump admin wants to force more people into psychiatric institutions via bad faith and incorrect interpretations of ADA, Section 504, and Olmstead. New from me at @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Icon-only options in a customizable <select> break three things: ❌️ users who don't recognize the icon have no help ❌️screen readers have nothing to announce ❌️browsers w/o support show an empty dropdown There's just 1 fix for all three cases: keep the text Learn more:

My talk from @perfnow.nl is out! It was a super special time compiling years of information on Accessibility and Performance into one talk. Even cooler that my little family could be there in Amsterdam to see it. 💗 youtu.be/Fdvk_qOKjVM?... #a11y

Wu Tang and the burnt sage outside of MSG really turned this all around

A shot clock for people who talk too much in meetings

Making kid birthday invitations is a little easier knowing my way around photoshop and illustrator. Glad Adobe hasn’t killed off every tool I know by heart in those apps! Still got it 💪

This is Chootie. He looks like a dog, but from one of those 15th century paintings done by someone who had only ever heard about dogs. 12/10 (IG: chootieboy)

Just saw that Murray Sargent was the recipient of the Microsoft Accessibility Lifetime Achievement Award, for his extraordinary contributions to accessibility at Microsoft. Nice post, congratulations to him - we all owe him tbh. techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/microso...

a perfect sketch. one of the funniest things ever put to film, imo youtu.be/n-Bfkc6lZok?...

Today, VoidZero joins Cloudflare. Vite remains MIT, vendor-neutral, and stewarded by the same wider team. The same goes for Vitest, Rolldown, and Oxc. Cloudflare is also committing $1M to an OSS fund to support independent development in the Vite ecosystem.

Biking around Seattle felt so great this week. I am tempted to do a gravel ride in July that I’ve done the past 2 years…but I’ll be 31 weeks pregnant. That’s probably too much 😂

Years ago I wrote "Designing with Ketchup." Now I'm back with the sequel: Designing with Mustard. This article talks about what design is, the purpose of prototyping, "use AI or else" rhetoric, and refusing to output slop. annaecook.com/writing/2026...

Accessible presentation tip: read text aloud that appears on screen so people can follow along. Even auto-generated vocalization would be helpful! It can enhance an already great talk so much.

@joelhooks.com Great job on your talk @cascadiajs.com and thanks for the shoutout for Testing Accessibility 🫶🏻

Going to CascadiaJS tomorrow as an attendee, so of course my preggo dreams last night were about presenting multiple workshops without being prepared. Rude

The irony is how much harm @patagonia.com is doing to their own brand by engaging in this lawsuit. Hopefully the community pushback leads them to abandoning it! #dropTheLawsuit

Swappin’ out date handling in my workshop from Day.js to Temporal. Hell yeah.

Again, please share. In every aspect of American history you will run smack dab into the critical contributions of Black people. It’s not Black history. It’s American history. Trying to erase it is a fool’s errand. We live it every day. time.com/5836444/blac...

Happy Global Accessibility Awareness Day! #a11y #GAAD

Today is GAAD, Global #Accessibility Awareness Day for those unfamiliar. The emphasis is on digital accessibility. Performance and #a11y have always intersected, and Sr Engineer and #a11y Specialist @marcysutton.com was my guest some episodes back! Worth the watch! youtu.be/j0A0_5kchS0?...

CascadiaJS is only TWO WEEKS AWAY! Are you going? 👀👀

It’s Global Accessibility Awareness Day! We’re doing a No Mouse Challenge at @khanacademy.org. You can too! 🚫🖱️ Take some time to navigate the web without your mouse or trackpad. What is hard, and what works? Can you find your place? Operate everything? Now do that every day. #GAAD

It’s probably a good time to go to law school because lots of people will need to be prosecuted and defended in the coming years.

Been chuckling about this one today

i have just checked the rule book and there is no rule that a dog can not be a tailor

I laughed so hard at this I cried and my sides still hurt. Was not prepared for the audio of the fart sounds. AI is the ultimate hype machine

Missed seeing Disclosure at Coachella and therefore I’m dancing around the house to their other live sets on YouTube. The GOAT. Def on my bucket list

Science is good. We should fund it.

Glorious week off and I can’t bring myself to do side work. Take the break 👏

Anyway, we have ample research on how living under a state of sustained terror and stress causes life-long health problems as well as intergenerational epigenetic effects. This feels like it's making you sick because it actually is making you sick.

Everything makes more sense if you think about Putins goals.

Reminder: including alt-text on your images is helpful in many ways! It increases accessibility, can add context/detail, makes search more effective, & can improve your reach (a lot of us won’t re-share images without alt-text). If you set it as required in accessibility settings, you can’t forget!

CSS nesting is now Baseline 🎉 Write nested selectors directly in CSS — just like Sass, but natively. .card { color: black; &:hover { color: blue; } .title { font-weight: bold; } } No preprocessor needed. Learn more 👇 developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/...

there are tortillas in space. I am crying again.

Expecting AI agents to adhere to skill files feels like expecting a Strongly Worded Letter to make a difference with politicians.

The only orange king who was ever worth a damn

The official White House Android app has a cookie/paywall bypass injector, tracks your GPS every 4.5 minutes, and loads JavaScript from some guy's GitHub Pages.

kind of amazing that everything trump does can be understood through the lens of narcissism and it's related needs (e.g., self aggrandizement, revenge, domination, grievance validation). i don't think any character has been so one-dimensional, not even wile e coyote or scrooge mcduck

I came up with a terrible idea for our company talent show involving spicy bites while doing a dramatic reading, and I definitely blame @jason.energy 😂

Looking for an online #NoKings event bc in-person protests don't work for you? Sat 4:30 PST www.mobilize.us/nokings/even... I'll be reading a new satire at this one! Come join us!

Planning an internal No Mouse Challenge for Global Accessibility Awareness Day in May, helping folks understand how keyboard access is essential. I look forward to the struggle. #GAAD

I’ve started investing in stocks: beef, chicken, and vegetable. Someday, I hope I’ll be a bouillonaire.

love to see more people pushing back on goals of being “frictionless”. friction is a part of how we make meaning and build things that are worth building. messy, slow, human conflict has value

Working on lint rules for invalid HTML nesting by first going through code patterns… I have to keep serious blinders on to avoid getting distracted by random aria-label attributes 🐴

The Accessibility Conformance Testing (ACT) Task Force has published its rules, letting you filter automated rules: www.w3.org/WAI/standard... It’s only partial coverage of 31% of SCs: adrianroselli.com/2025/04/auto... Automation is good, but limited. Understand those limits. #accessibility #a11y
