Wow! @aardrian's Overlays Underwhelm #ID24 session is the best takedown of overlays I've heard or seen. It's well-researched and extremely thorough! youtube.com/watch?v=c-effkHJ…

If you missed #NFB22 but wanted to start off your week with some #a11y then I'd suggest watching @Jennison talk about #GAAD & after that you can listen to me talk about #Drupal's #Olivero theme. Jennison raises the #GAADPledge & #OpenSource youtu.be/wdl0_xdIh9w?t=3744
