He’s a breath of fresh air in a suffocating, sick society. Thank you so much.

“Accessibility is necessary infrastructure.” Accessibility is political. “It has always been defended by people who chose to act anyway.“ We can uphold good design practices with inclusion at their core. Thank you for writing, @annaecook.com!

Thinking about whoever said that by accepting a meal from people and then arresting them ICE agents broke a cultural taboo that was invented by, like, the first humans to set up a tent

We booked tickets to a music festival on Orcas Island this summer and it’s fun to think of something that builds community and inspiration instead of all the fascist BS going on.

My diet lately has been entirely driven by cravings. This morning it’s European hotel breakfast, and we are not equipped! I’m gonna need some arugula, fancy cheese, and Brioche pronto.

Finally got around to writing a new personal blog post. Now I need to add social image support to share it. Seems complicated with Astro 🧐

Rotten from the top.

another late ship, with help from @ichris.bsky.social: we're launching a new podcast at @codetv.dev called The Web Dev Podcast these are short (15–30 min), video and audio options, talking to experts in tech about what's new in tools + how they fit into your stack codetv.dev/series/web-d...

Keeping up with individual eng MCP projects is like a game of whack a mole. It’s an opportunity to stay current but also RIP your project roadmap.

"ICE will leave Minnesota if you hand over your voter rolls" tells you everything you need to know. This was never about immigration or fraud. It was always about rigging elections.

happy 250th birthday, america. to get you in the spirit, we’ve recreated the conditions of the founding era.

Thank goodness everyone spent months deciding that the Chinese were stealing our data so we could switch to good old patriotic American data stealing

This is what love looks like.

Every day is a new most embarrassing thing with this guy. Congratulations, you’ve won the Biggest Douche in the Universe Award!

A competent opposition political party would cut together the footage of what ICE had been doing in the twin cities with Mike Johnson saying "ICE is doing what ICE is designed to do" and have it in ads all across the country

It’s funny how many accessibility bugs can be solved with a good ol’ setTimeout. Keeping that in my bag of tricks…

This is a must read from @anneapplebaum.bsky.social.

So Adobe really just raised their price for Creative Cloud again with no notice? I guess it’s the end of an era, $76 a month is ludicrous. It was bad enough before

Friendly reminder to use aria-label as a last resort. Use a visual label if you can! And if you need to use an aria-label to add supplementary text to already visual text, make sure the full visual text is included in the aria-label, at the start of the string.

My favorite memory from 2025 was seeing our kid start pedal biking after a day and a half. She had used a strider bike before. Little ripper 🥹

Cougar sighting around our house last night…sketchy! They’re definitely around. Not friend shaped 🙀

I started an initiative at Khan Academy to celebrate Accessibility Wins internally, taking inspiration from my old Tumblr a11ywins.tumblr.com. It feels good to lift people up and spread love around! Two wins down, more to come. 💙

The new Del La album has been on repeat all day

It’s hard to believe but there was a cartoon about an immigrant mouse and it was seen as totally fine and not controversial and not woke because it was an aspirational and nice thing about America that people could come here and find a better life

The only adult wearing cat ears on Halloween during our European train travels today, but I regret nothing. Also, some cool Paris street art! 😺🦇

Why is it important to make your website more accessible? - Disabled people need access - The legal situation in the EU - Build better software as an outcome - Accessibility design and engineering is cool! @marcysutton.com at #perfnow

Just like web performance work, accessibility winds up being less expensive the earlier you implement it. Build accessibility in from the start, rather than bolting it on - make it part of the process. @marcysutton.com #webperf #PerfNow #a11y

“We should treat accessibility as something that is structural or baked in or part of the DNA, if we want to be successful” — says @marcysutton.com at #perfnow “Don’t treat it like trying to put chocolate chips into a cookie after it is baked” I love this framing!

So fun to spend the week in Amsterdam with my family ahead of @perfnow.nl! Now working on my talk, a reimagined version of a topic I first spoke on a decade ago: Accessibility and Performance. Very excited to share! 🤗

That’s $5 billion more than the entire annual USAID budget. All to one country. To rescue one friend of the president’s.

Happy #Caturday!

I am being asked to tell my department which pieces of lab equipment should be supported with backup power because they expect rolling blackouts and brownouts in 2026 due to increased energy demands from AI. In case you're wondering how my day is going.

I regret reading about the Friday night massacre before going to sleep. For f’s sake, we’re cooked as a country.

I don't know if there's such a thing as a "world cyberwar" but I think we are in one? and the US is determined to lose it. 🧵 Today the admin is mass-firing the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), the nation's cybersecurity protection across all levels of government.

I like my job but I'll be _very_ glad to be done with lead frontend support rotation at the end of this sprint. Whewww.
