@adamsilverhq I get "it's boring" a lot

[Charlotte B @afanofthebard]

Love that @BristolHipp provided captions for tonight's performance of @HamiltonMusical #Accessibility #AccessibleTheatre Also love theatre in general, especially the choreography and staging

[Charlotte B @afanofthebard]

@adamsilverhq Yeah true! Unfortunately a lot of the services I'm auditing has them. Thanks for the reply :)

[Charlotte B @afanofthebard]

@adamsilverhq *specifically, not especially

[Charlotte B @afanofthebard]

@adamsilverhq I was just writing guidance about this today! Do you have tips on how to test this for voice command users? Especially for tool tips that appear when you hover over a button that has (different) text in?

PSA: Clean out the crumb tray in the toaster, and if a fire happens smother with damp tea towels. If you can, also unplug it.

@SaskiaHeijltjes I missed this one. When's the next one?

[Charlotte B @afanofthebard]

@blindandb0ujee For what's its worth, I'm a leader, a few years ago we needed leaders, but there was so much to do I didn't have time to get back to an offer. I felt v bad but just couldn't do it. BUT it is important you feel welcome. I'm sure another group would love you. My new group would!

@emrcreates @ianhamilton_ Many places don't even have dedicated UX / designers. Sometimes they don't have anyone who knows about accessibility (even if they do have devs and designers). If I have time I contact them to let them know, otherwise if I can get it elsewhere, I get it elsewhere.

Is there an #accessibility server or community on #MastodonSocial yet? Or a place where people are migrating to?

[Charlotte B @afanofthebard]

Loved the last few seconds of #DoctorWho Was not expecting.

[Charlotte B @afanofthebard]

@SrtaDiCianni Assuming this is for guidance? Use the words the user needs to click on, or describe the icon if it's an icon they need to click on, would probably be my first suggestion. The user can then scan the screen for that word / icon.

[Charlotte B @afanofthebard]

@abbott567 @CatherineRwork Yes, I can see how this can be useful. Both in starting that higher level conversation and honestly identifying where you are at. So long as it's not used as a choice, "yeah I'm happy being a two" and instead used to show what we must aspire to and how to get there.

[Charlotte B @afanofthebard]

@abbott567 This seems very accurate. Some projects within the same organisation can be at different levels but as you say if it isn't org wide, then the org as a whole is still at that lower level. We need strategies to move the whole org up, rather than rely the odd person on a project.

12 Hours of #TheQueue was so worth it. Very special for many reasons. Also bonus seeing the Chelsea Pensioners and the changing of the guard

[Charlotte B @afanofthebard]

Approaching 10 hours in #TheQueue getting close now

[Charlotte B @afanofthebard]

Nearly at hour four of #TheQueue The last 0.1 odd mile has taken one hour.
