A small pocket of joy for you: this video of Thor hopping because my mom gave him his favorite treat.

Hello. I am probably not going to on this formerly-known-as-bird app very much because I have been dealing with very bad, very draining health issues. Back offline I go.
I hope you're all well.

“This is what disability advocates have said all along…The able and the disabled aren’t two different kinds of people but the same people at different times. Last year, I was healthy; this year, I had a breathing ailment, even if nobody could say exactly what that ailment was.”

One for the ages, by one of the best writers I've ever had the honor to be edited by. Horrific, but beautifully written.

To paraphrase James Baldwin, to be a writer is to witness. I wrote this on why Palestinian liberation is #DisabilityJustice

Almost every argument against accessibility comes down to the belief that someone's business, product, or service deserves to exist more than disabled people deserve to have access and community. It presupposes that disabled people are burdensome. That's garden-variety ableism.

I love when people are bold with their ableism.
"I would have no problem if [building accessible websites] were only a moral obligation [...]. Legal obligations that require a developer add something frustrate me, because they essentially crush people doing things for fun."

1. Nobody has ever said you can't build things for fun, actually
2. If the idea of serving your users crushes the fun of web development for you, you're weird and miserable

hear me out: i don’t think that hiring Disabled people for accessibility work is always the right call.
unless they’re prepared for it, i wouldn’t want to put Disabled people into a space where no one has done work on inaccessibility or ableism. that’s a recipe for more harm.

PSA: Accessibility mappings for <summary> are broken in Safari as of at least version 17 (can't test earlier at the moment).
- MacOS: VoiceOver doesn't report changes in state of <summary> when you toggle it
- iOS: VoiceOver doesn't report *any* semantics or state changes.

Build your own disclosure widgets. Custom-made disclosure widgets seem to work just fine, but always remember to test! The ARIA authoring practices guide has a good pattern for this.
Use the platform, they said. HTML is accessible by default, they said.

Who do I have to talk to about getting comboboxes working in Safari? I shouldn’t have to tell a Blind user that they might need to switch browsers because there’s nothing my team and I can do to make their chosen tools (Safari VoiceOver) work in our app

you’re not a “pre-Disabled” or “temporarily abled” person, actually. you are simply not disabled. that’s fine. you don’t need to make disability about you in order to show up for Disabled people

“anyone can become Disabled at any moment” yes, absolutely. but this is a fact, not a social position. not an identity.
everybody suffers under ableism. all of us. that’s enough reason to fight for (and with) Disabled people

Do I know anyone who's hiring an early-career product designer? One of my friends recently graduated a bootcamp and is looking for his first gig!
