We've all been there. You fill out a form. You hit submit. Nothing happens. Maybe the border turns red. Maybe a little icon winks at you. Maybe your computer hums aggressively. But nobody tells you what went wrong. #a11y #accessibility #a11y101 #errorIdentification tarnoff.info/2026/07/06/a...

July is Williams Syndrome awareness month. WS is characterized by medical problems including cardiovascular disease, developmental delays, and learning challenges. These often occur side by side with striking verbal abilities, highly social personalities, and an affinity for music.

The California 3D printer scheme proposed by AB 2047 still won’t work, still mandates surveillance, still censors lawful expression, and still creates a bad deal for consumers. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Bluesky is allegedly horrible to use with a screen reader, so: If you know someone who uses a screen reader, send them this survey. It's THE strongest signal we have for how to build better experiences. #a11y webaim.org/projects/scr...

People with disabilities deserve the freedom to determine our own lives and our own futures. Too often and for too long, we’ve been denied that essential right. This Disability Pride month and every other month of the year, we’re fighting for a world where we can exist on our own terms.

Fix This First,Then We Celebrate...

Happy Canada 🇨🇦 Day to all my Canadian friends.

SCOTUS refused to hear E. Jean Carroll. So it’s official: he is a predator.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court just upheld the right of the voters to have our timely mailed ballots counted under state law.

You're at a party. You meet "Michael." You shake his hand, have a nice conversation, move on. Later, you see him again "Hey, Michael!" He looks at you blankly. "It's Mike now." #a11y #accessibility #web #wcag

The older I get, the more certain I am that the real meaning of existence is love for life. That is, love for the natural world, all of humanity, and advancing coexistence based on true justice, rights, and respect. 🌍

57 years ago today, queer people resisted a police raid at a gay bar in NYC. These activists bravely defended their right to exist in the face of government oppression, causing a major turning point for LGBTQ rights. We honor Stonewall's legacy as we continue the work for liberation.

A Black woman built the infrastructure that keeps the world talking. This is Black history. Her legacy lives in every call you make.

You notice that the criminal-in-charge who sues everyone for everything is drop dead quiet about this. Says a lot.

Fox Corporation is buying Roku for $22 billion. Roku sits in more than 100 million global streaming households. Fox owns Fox News, Tubi, and NFL and MLB broadcast rights. Fox now controls the hardware in your living room, the platform you use to access it, and your viewing data. Follow the money.

This also means the government CAN interfere with your religious beliefs. It starts with hair, but it will try to ban non-Christian/Jewish believers.

#DataCenters You know what to do.

"I don't think that Americans should tolerate law enforcement being able to scan anyone's face at any time for any reason to try to determine their identity,” EFF’s @cooperq.com told @npr.org. “This is the new form of 'papers, please.'" www.npr.org/2026/06/19/...

Social security is not the governments money it is our money we work for so if they don't plan to let us use it then they are perpetrating the biggest fraud in history

You might be wondering if EN 301 549 is used anywhere in the world outside Europe? It is! This map shows where (as far as ETSI's HF group know) hf.etsi.org/eu-accessibi...

It's horrible the cop shot a dog, but, damn. I wish we had as much empathy for Black people.

In regard to the LAPD murdering a homeowner’s dog, white people (including myself) should keep this energy when any black person is killed by the police. The police have killed 553 this year SO FAR. Black people are 2.8x times more likely to be killed by the police than white people.

The only folks who seem to fear the US military are Americans

Billionaires should be taxed out of existence. Nobody should know who Elon Musk is, or anyone else, simply by the obscene and quite frankly immoral magnitude of their wealth.

Obama Appreciation Day June 14, 2026

I’m sorry to my friends in the DMV area, but I hope tomorrow’s weather is far stronger than anticipated. If it is, I may have to spend more time with my wife on Sundays.

Elon musk becoming a trillionaire demands higher taxes on the wealthy. All of his wealth is because the benefits he gets being based in the USA. Time he and others pay for that.

Worse than I thought. I saw Kushner’s Albania resort up close — it is an environmental disaster. The damage at Vjosa-Narta is not fake news. Bulldozers are tearing into one of Europe’s most precious wetlands www.aljazeera.com/opinions/202...

Day 12 Tirana Albania: the streets as packed with protesters, it’s a multi-generational event that transcends all the Albanian society as a whole. Hands off Albania! 🇦🇱

Following the U.S. entry ban on Omar Artan, Africa's best referee of 2025, FIFA could reassign him to a match in Canada or Mexico in less than an hour. Instead, it does nothing. FIFA is complicit.
