Hi everyone,
I am Carolyn MacLeod’s husband. My wonderful wife Carolyn passed away last night in hospital of metastatic breast cancer. She had asked me in advance to post to her twitter to inform her friends and colleagues. She will be dearly missed.

I've been asked a lot about how to inform people using screen readers when dynamic search results or filtering occurs on a web page.

Really interesting, @wilcofiers. This directive will raise awareness in the EU and (hopefully!) elsewhere as well. Thanks for sharing!

My post on the EU's Web Accessibility Directive monitor has been released by @dequesystems: https://t.co/hx1BTv9onW. That was an interesting holiday project!

"ARIA in HTML" is a W3C recommendation (at last). Congrats to all @stevefaulkner, @patrick_h_lauke, Scott, and the Working Group who got it together. https://t.co/WzQlEh6lNO

@dennisl 😂 Kinda sounds like “alt text”. Well, maybe a little. Maybe someone thought they heard “alt tagst”.

I’m looking for an #accessibility specialist/coach to join me at Shopify.

Work with product teams, reviewing #design and #code for accessibility and #inclusiveDesign best practices. #ReactJS experience is ideal.

DM for details. RT for exposure. 🙏 #a11y

[Carolyn MacLeod @carmacleod]

@AT_Fresh_Dev This is very well written and has such interesting data. It’s also a good overview of accessibility low hanging fruit that designers and devs can reach for. Thanks for sharing!

Jenny has opened the door to ideas about how we can be more inclusive in a post-pandemic world.

[Jenny Lay-Flurrie @jennylayfluffy]

Its already @UN International Day of Persons with Disabilities in parts of the world.. so its time to get this party started! Love to hear your thoughts and ideas on how we can create a more inclusive and accessible world. Tag #MSFTA11y! Lets tackle the divide together.

Dear presidents of the world. Listen here, you cheap bastards. It’s financially irrational that you haven’t supported vaccination in every country of the world. Vaccines are so much cheaper than pandemics.

[Carolyn MacLeod @carmacleod]

@stevesaylor Very cool! 😎

[Carolyn MacLeod @carmacleod]

@Contimporary @ladyleet And you have made mine! ❤️

[Carolyn MacLeod @carmacleod]

@mattmay The first time I saw myself on video playing Ringette (which is a lot like hockey), I said to a teammate, “Who is that?”
They answered, “That’s you!”
I said, “But I don’t skate like that!” 😂

[Carolyn MacLeod @carmacleod]

@Contimporary @ladyleet Glad you liked it! Sounds like a cool channel! Or actually, a hot one!
