currently basking in the irony that health insurance does not want to pay for stuff if they determine that it is not life threatening, but they sure do want YOU to get non-medically indicated scans on your own dime to prove you are worthy of insurance
It was an absolute joy to get to chat with James on the Wonders of Web Weaving podcast about personal sites and accessibility! Thanks James for having me! 🎉

I DON'T NEED TO KNOW WHAT THE METAL VOCALIST IS SAYING. THAT'S THEIR BUSINESS.
Actively looking for my next gig.
Hello, I’m a designer who also codes for the web (HTML/CSS/sprinkle of JS).
You can read about my past works on, https://saneef.com/work/.
If any of you folks or your friends need help with:
– product design
– design systems
– front-end development
– data visualisation
– and of course, keeping accessibility in mind with all of the above
Hit me up.
Appreciate a boost.
Tired of aligning divs (work). I wish I could be aligning divs (leisure) right now.
Today I'm watering my calethea for the first time since getting it. I'm currently dechlorinating some water and regretting my life choices but hoping it's worth it because look this is the most beautiful plant I have seen in my entire life
Hard requirements are:
- previous experience with maps
- accessibility knowledge required, with a strong preference for candidates who have some kind of certification (WAS, DHS Trusted Tester, etc.)
It's a React front-end so experience there would be a bonus.
Feel free to DM me if you're interested, I'll gather a list up and pass it on. I am going to bed now so don't panic if I don't respond!
I'm helping a former client of mine source candidates for a fulltime remote developer position, based in the US!
I'd love to continue working with them but I can't due to my location. You'd be working on Audiom, an audio-based map viewer that allows blind and low vision people to access maps.
Requirements in the post below.
We're looking for a new senior software engineer at Pope Tech. We build web applications for evaluating and improving web accessibility. I would appreciate it if you boosted this for reach! #getfedihired
"I don't need your art, I need your name"
🦨been thinking for days about this that someone posted in a chatroom that they saw in an RPG Maker forum. so much effort to deceive people into thinking it's a big company instead of one person with AI, you could use that effort to make the stuff yourself?
Trying to figure out how to get Microsoft Teams on Linux, feels like an act against god
Hold on to your socks … we've just released the schedule for the upcoming Inclusive Design 24 #id24 which will take place on the 24 September https://inclusivedesign24.org/2026/ #accessibility #a11y #inclusiveDesign
I think the social internet peaked at oekaki board and it's been in decline ever since
I wonder where I fall here 🤔
RE: https://caneandable.social/@JonathanSimeone/117050244021571404
I regularly tell people that 'no one goes into accessibility for money', because accessibility professionals have to have deep knowledge across multiple specialties and are NOT adequately compensated for that knowledge. I think I have to revise that statement though, because clearly there is money to be made by being the biggest capitalist grifter ready to extract value out of a marginalized group. A shame.
I have three black cats and only wear black so guess who tried to blearily pat a pile of dirty clothes AGAIN

I'm tired, and I don’t want to do free accessibility consulting for this website owner, so I'll outline only one way this won’t work for screen reader users out of many.
Aside from the fact an LLM made the website, and the font as well, the reason it doesn’t work for screen reader users because, even on that demo page, a timer has to be activated. A button must be pushed. A timer activates, and a screen reader user must find the fixed bit of text again. The website makes it sound as if it should be just automatically accessible/visible to the screen reader, and that fails.
Aside from the screen reader issues, that's not the only one, but I don’t want to do free accessibility consulting for this website, some of the other issues include but are not limited to…
It doesn’t prevent scraping.
It doesn’t prevent taking a snapshot and then doing OCR on that screenshot.
It breaks custom fonts anybody has disabled or enabled.
It breaks copy and paste.
It breaks for people without JavaScript enabled.
It breaks for anybody using a good ad blocker.
It prevents search from working on the website.
And many, many, more things that are in my replies.
If you want to learn about me and my screen reader, my FAQ page is below the website I'm talking about.
If you use this font to protect your text from AI, it also blocks *me, a human* because I use a screen reader. I did try the demo. If you want me to remove your RSS feed, this is the best font to prevent blind people from reading your blog/words. That timer is an inaccessible solution and that isn't it's only screen reader failure. https://shieldfont.org/#hero

Making cat scratchers out of cardboard boxes is great way to 'reuse'! We go through these so fast at the shelter 😅
