I love my wife, chase my kids, capture and share courageous stories, champion accessibility, make loud noises with drums and mourn the fall of my Texas Rangers.

@Dean_of_math Bahhhh, this is where I realize this dang app is so much less friendly to blind, screen reader users... sorry about that! Was trying to DM re: your Grades are Boring book... Would love, love, love to read! Your content is such a joy to ponder on.

@caseycease At least 90 mins long or it doesn't count.

Anyone got audio of Nadel's call on the final out? #GoRangers

Is there a way to add manual captions with an SRT to a Zoom recording stored in the cloud? Documentation seems murky and it's not my recording (I'm asking for a colleague).

[justinromack @justinromack]

@sara_button Yup, this right here!

@AshleeMBoyer Native VoiceOver user here... these functions are also present in the actions rotor when focusing on a post. I never use the buttons. I appreciate the concern and feel like removing the buttons may be a odd move to begin with... but I'm less concerned as a VO user.

@moore_psych I worry that disabled folk like myself are going to get lost in any migration.. many of the other alternatives lack the level of accessibility support that old Twitter has. The fear of being shut off from conversation and community scares me.

[justinromack @justinromack]

@sara_button Super odd... nothing out of the norm... what's the theme? And what content does it show in place of what you want there?

[justinromack @justinromack]

@sara_button Still thinking on this and re-read... What are you doing to make mods... template and CSS files or plugins? What mods are you making?

[justinromack @justinromack]

@sara_button Is there a front page template in the theme folder for the theme that's not working? Sounds like a template file is overriding your homepage content maybe? Is this https://t.co/iltw4qaxUD or self hosted / managed WP?

[justinromack @justinromack]

@sara_button What you got going with WordPress? Anything I could help with?

[justinromack @justinromack]

@sara_button Yeah, no. Picked up web dev because I was tired of working with clients to put amazing words on their crap website.

[justinromack @justinromack]

@Steady5063 I would love to hear more on this. What goes wrong... and what are examples of this done well?

[justinromack @justinromack]

@sara_button I'm sorry that was your experience, too. Those were four of the most traumatizing and isolating years of my life that took nearly another decade to unravel. Couldn't pay me enough money to spend any time back there.

[justinromack @justinromack]

Read... re-read... read once more... so, so good and something I needed to hear, both as a husband and a dad.

Relationship tip: when your partner makes an awful but innocent mistake (leaves their phone in the cab, forgets their passport when heading to the airport for an international flight, drops and shatters a beloved item, gets in a fender bender, etc.), don't get mad at them. It makes no sense (it was accidental) and it accomplishes nothing except supplementing an already bad situation with an unnecessary fight.

Instead, think about it like this: as a couple, you will commit like 20 of these hideous mistakes a year and who knew that one of them was gonna happen today, but it did, so that sucks, but it's also a little bit funny, and let's just make the best of it.

This turns those moments from relationship-damaging to relationship-building. And of course, what goes around comes around—you do dumb things too, and you'd much rather your partner be a laughing teammate than an angry parent in those situations.

I didn't used to do this, I learned it from my wife. I am a frequent committer of hideous mistakes, and it surprised me that she never got mad about it, and then I started being like that too.

@TeacherRachelMx @mtholfsen @grelad @sparvell Had the same question!

[justinromack @justinromack]

Need thoughts from those in the classroom, instructional technology #UDL and #FacDev spaces... What are some active learning techniques you've seen play out well in the online space? They need to be accessible and inclusive!

[justinromack @justinromack]

@nessaferrell Costco has these ridiculously tasty blackened chicken strips... great flavor, protein dense and only 110 cals for 3oz (which is usually like two strips).

Need some help with Canva and accessibility - anyone have experience? The PDF Canva saves drops all of the text from the document into one image with the content as alt text. I don't use Canva... But everyone else does. I need an accessible PDF and this just ain't it.
