Accessibility and cats. Occasionally axes. Pun always intended. ♿️ Lead for an EHR company in the midwest.

Accessibility principles, not components. If your principles support accessibility your components will follow.

“We focus on usability over accessibility standards” sounds great but you can t have an experience if you can’t access the tool. #mEnabling24

Day 1 from the #mEnabling23 #accessibility summit is over and I am so full of ideas. Lots of half formed ideas, linkages, connections to all the other flies humming around my brain.

ANYWAY... here's a selection of things that left an impression on me.

in a panel at the #mEnabling23 #accessibility summit and panelist said the following:

"Do we want there to be outcome to represent the past." (Christopher Land)

YES. Biased data produces biased results. I wrote some about this:

Great article from @NNgroup on scrolljacking. I'd like to add two ideas, one of which includes the possibility of user harm.

Been hearing "know your users" at work a lot lately and I think it's problematic. While well-intended, like many things, it produces #ableist results. #Accessibility is an inclusive *process*, not a feature.

@ScopicEngineer I could definitely benefit from the [name]Con kind of audacity in my life. :). Thanks for doing the work!

[Will @Angrybunnyman]

@ScopicEngineer How do people respond when you mention a "critical accessibility theory" to describe your approach to accessibility? Do you get people paying attention or get defensive?

[Will @Angrybunnyman]

My new project is live. No idea what its going to turn into but I have many, many ideas for things to write about at least.

[Will @Angrybunnyman]

If you're not watching @ScopicEngineer's CrystalCon, wyd?

I was about to lament this super cool idea being not accessible - each post is an image of handwritten text.

But! @nathell’s https://t.co/ie3ef5rSQD has transcription for non-sighted users linked to each post! Fantastic.

@gruber I love the idea of groups but with no way to direct new tabs I’m opening outside Safari to a tab group, I find them limiting and forgettable.

No idea how to fix it but if the default is “open tab into the mass of existing mess” groups aren’t offering much to typical users.

On Principles- I’m all for ⁦@Neilyoung⁩ pulling his catalog from Spotify. But it is definitely a privilege to be able to do so. Most can’t afford to stand on principle that could affect their paycheck. Still - actual Virtue, not just signaling.

Decision quality- We make decisions with the best information available. If that choice doesn’t pan out, it’s not a quality problem in the decision, it’s a lack of information. Circumstances change. Context matters.

I expect more than love from design titans Jonny Ive and Marc Newsome. I expect #accessibility.

Asterisk has no meaning - Portrait of the Artist as a Man

The TL;DR: Visual conventions have no inherent meaning. That meaning must be provided to all types to users.

@PokemonGoApp I am so here for this….

[Will @Angrybunnyman]

Well then.. went out for a run listening to @IncensedPodcast and resulted in a cool bug and a shiny poo. Thanks I guess? 🤣
