Thinking about why women might not want to use a product that has forced itself into every software interface to confidently shout things that are wrong

Seeing the water get wasted made me so anxious. Great video.

"I’m unsure how we can turn things around. But it seems clear that the answer to having too little humanness on the Web isn’t to have less of it and shut down our websites. [..] If you run a personal website, don’t get discouraged, keep it up. And if you don’t run a website, then why not start one?"

As I looked upon the screen, a sorrow filled me. For web search was no more, cannibalised by the short-sighted stewards who could not see the damage they caused. As it filled me, a short utterance escaped my lips. "what the ever loving fuck is this" - Alistaiplin Shepepherp, May 2026

I have no better way to describe this in English so here it is in Arabic: المضحك المبكي (I think "tragicomic" may the closest equivalent in English)

The annual “State of CSS” survey is here! survey.devographics.com/en-US/survey... In addition to answering the questions, be sure sure to take some time to mention things you find missing (or broken) in CSS, as we really look at the data 😉

Can't recommend the course enough. I went through it twice. It's a really good course for anyone thinking about accessibility work as well as those who just need to refresh their skills.

Go and get it if you want to learn intensively about a11y.

Just attended a lovely talk where a product went from 6.6 seconds to 0.8 seconds for first contentful paint by ditching MUI and CSS-in-JS and using vanilla CSS with in-house components instead. #webexpo

Accessibility is baked into the curriculum, but the greater focus is on best practices — structure, formatting, semantics. The good stuff that's a stepping stone to get into accessibility where you might look at @sarasoueidan.com's Practical Accessibility. practical-accessibility.today

There's simply too much good human made stuff out there to justify wasting time consuming AI made slop.

This is some people's idea of intelligence.

I've had the delight of going through Practical Accessibility by @sarasoueidan.com a few years back, and it has radically improved how I think about and implement a11y. If you want to create websites that show any degree of care towards users, you should check it out. And it's 25% off until June 5!

“My thoughts are precious and being able to form them through writing and socializing with others currently has no equal practice. Prompting appears to give the benefits of both the writing and socializing at once, but it actually steals the benefits of doing both of these acts from us.”

There is so much fresh uncertainty following Google I/O, and I think it will take us all a while to process it and understand what it means. vale.rocks/micros/20260...

Take the State of CSS survey if you haven't done so already!

🙋‍♂️ do I know any oss friends who are facing unwelcome LLM-generated PRs or comments? .... want to fight back?

My course has given me a lot of gratification since I started making it in 2022; but the best part has been seeing my students succeed—becoming more #accessibility-aware, more skilled in spotting issues in code, and knowing how to fix them, making the web more inclusive one line of code at a time.🩷

Very valid points on #accessibility empathy labs: “Without direction and the lived experience of actual disabled people, empathy labs can turn accessibility into a game. You need the story behind the impairment. How disabled people can't turn it off and on.” via @cjforms.bsky.social

Websites will return in Avengers: Doomsday

Is Google's new "search" about to kill websites as we know them? I honestly wish this was clickbait... youtu.be/Xpk7soxvOMY

This should go without saying at this point but don't use Google search. Use an alternative, like DuckDuckGo or other options that aren't controlling how you find and access information online. And probably don't use Chrome for browsing either. @vivaldi.com is a great alternative.

I've seen a bunch of examples of people using AI with my articles and it's quite sad how wrong it can be. Someone shared with me a Gemini chat where they didn't read my article, they used it as context and asked Gemini questions. Much substance was lost, a few of the explanations were wrong.

I don't see it as a good change. I don't trust AI. I got an email from someone recently telling me that AI suggested one of my articles as proof of why there shouldn't be a focus indicator from events generated by mouse. The AI misunderstood and misrepresented the purpose of the article completely.

Google is destroying search. You won’t be able to tell the difference between paid words and legit content. No links back to the original source. Wow.

"For 25 years, Google Search was built on a contract. The web provided the content – billions of pages, freely linked, freely crawled. In return, Google sent people back. The link was the unit of exchange. [...] That contract is now broken." @matthiasott.com matthiasott.com/notes/ad-inf...

I've been going through the same thing for more than a year. At first I thought I was alone, until more and more people started opening up and speaking out. That's why I'm grateful for Kevin and others. Like Kevin said, do support the educators you value—send them a Thank You, buy their courses 1/2

It’s GAAD’s 15th year. Accessibility isn’t just important today but every day. Over 98% of homepages have at least one WCAG failure. It’s on all of us to learn, fix what we can and then consider accessibility from day one of the next project. Make the web better for all 🦾 #GAAD accessibility.day

The State of CSS 2026 survey is out! These survey's are a huge signal to the browser makers on what people want, and the more people fill the out, the better that information is. survey.devographics.com/en-US/survey...

I'm honored to share that the Practical Accessibility course has become a required component of *more* in-house #accessibility training programs for companies and startups worldwide! Thank you @tink.uk @tetralogical.com 🥳💃🙌🏻

Once again @sarasoueidan.com uses her free time to push back on a megacorporation releasing more accessibility gaps into the world: front-end.social/@SaraSoueida... It’s exhausting to watch it have no impact. Maybe go support Sara: practical-accessibility.today Because Google sure as hell isn’t.

It's a great time to get @sarasoueidan.com's Practical Accessibility course (25% off!) if you haven't already... ...and why haven't you already, eh? It's wonderful and worth every penny. practical-accessibility.today#buy

if you’re feeling depressed about the AI changes announced by Google yesterday, let me bring some comfort: some of us are still trying to build AI-free products, and as long as there’s people willing to take the fight, there’s hope 🔥 No opt-in, no opt-out, no nonsense. NO AI.

There's been a quiet discourse among creators about this for quite some time, but it's no longer that quiet. I hate what AI is doing to the internet. Yes, it has its upsides. But the downsides outweigh those IMO. I have my own thoughts and feelings about the state of things that are still brewing.😞

Heartbreaking. And a wake-up call. It is no longer about being difficult to find a way to sustain yourself through your work online. It is no longer sustainable to keep a website up now. Axel has done so much for the web and all of us. Buy one of his books if you can. We've learned so much from him.

"What's missing in #CSS layout" by @patrickbrosset.com patrickbrosset.com/articles/202... Seeing "CSS Regions / flowing content across elements" was so heart-warming! CSS Regions were one of the first web features of CSS that ignited my love for CSS and the Web when Adobe was still speccing them🩷

I'm drafting a short new newsletter issue for #GAAD today and sharing a nice project I took part in this year. Many thanks to @intopia.bsky.social for the project and for inviting me to participate in it. More in the newsletter issue later today.

All these people working on the web who I hold in such high regard are hurting. Slop really isn't good for morale.

I love websites!

Sara’s course is so good. This is a great deal 💯

And while we're talking about training, my friend @sarasoueidan.com is running a big promo lately for her excellent accessibility course. I've taken it and very earnestly recommend it. practical-accessibility.today

I've taken this course and I'm flabbergasted that Scott's offering it for $10! TEN DOLLARS!! The value I got from this course makes it worth hundreds in my opinion! If you're even remotely interested in learning about web components—even if you won't specialize in them, GO GRAB THIS DEAL NOW.

Folks over on LinkedIn are much more active (and interactive) than any other platform I'm on. Several people have shared the course promo in the last 3 days, and I am thankful for each one 🙌🏻 I wanted to share this recommendation I saw first thing this morning:

This course is first class. With Global Accessibility Awareness Day fast approaching now is the best time to learn accessibility (the practical way as Sara says) #GAAD

The course is worth every cent. It is fully packed with important information. If you're interested in a11y you should consider buying it.

I just sent an email newsletter out 📬 announcing a soft-launch of this year's Global Accessibility Awareness Day #GAAD promotion: For the next two weeks, the Practical Accessibility course is going on sale! 25% off ($299 instead of $399) 🎁 Sale ends on June 1st ⏳ practical-accessibility.today

This is just incredibly classy
