The ADA 30 Days to Comply Act is billed as a way to protect small businesses from drive-by lawsuits. But is this really a good solution? Who bears the burden during a waiting period, and at what cost? Read my analysis. https://t.co/gsJNdIzkDi

The world has lost a fierce disability advocate. Alice Wong has died. Let’s honor her memory by making her vision for an accessible and non-ableist world come true. #a11y

[Glenda Sims @goodwitch]

Do business in California? Think the ADA is your only digital accessibility risk? Think again. The Unruh Act brings major legal exposure—including statutory damages and blockbuster settlements.#a11y https://t.co/EAfRJu00pR

[Glenda Sims @goodwitch]

The #EAA deadline passed. Now come the consequences. Two examples: Netherlands - orgs must quickly report #a11y issues & fix-it plans. France: lawsuits & public pressure are heating up. If u do business in EU, this is a must read.

US State & local gov: are your public websites & apps accessible? DOJ requires WCAG 2.1 A/AA by April 2026 (2027 for smaller entities). Lawsuits are rising. But #a11y is more than risk...it's better design for all.

What do Jay Wyant, Beth Valentine, and Jennifer Broadus have in common?

They’re experts who are actively driving #a11y change in some of the world's most complex higher education and government environments.

The Design & Disability exhibit at the V&A explores dignity, creativity, resistance, & joy. Stratford’s “Public S/Pacing Resting Blanket” + Armstrong’s “Radical Act of Stopping” = brilliant. Rest is part of design. https://t.co/7NhRz7TbUg #a11y #inclusive

I ❤️ earcons. Little audio icons: fast, intuitive, full of meaning. If u can hear, they’re great. But no one should have to hear to get info. I wish we had an open source #a11y earcon dictionary to give every ding, pop & swoosh a clear, consistent meaning.
