My biannual reminder that if you don't want your top track on Spotify Wrapped to be Brown Noise 3 Hours (Loopable No Fade), my web app Ambiphone has loads of brown noise, white noise, ambient music and other sounds for free, no ads

The Taylor Swift Toy Story logo is almost really cool but the typography is all over the place so I fixed it. Call me, @Pixar?

@LauraS_442 @anbwall_ @RoyalMailCS_Pg @RoyalMail They're a ticket scammer who fills their timeline with copied tweets so the account looks legitimate in the hopes of fooling people with non-existent tickets, like this https://t.co/co3BWZcCEa

Hurrah! The lifts API has come back to life and https://t.co/ZhMqXaPgEO is working again

[Matt Eason @MattEason]

.@networkrail's station lifts API - which shows which lifts are broken - has itself been broken for a month.
That means that my site (https://t.co/ZhMqXaPgEO), @nationalrailenq's access map, and any other service which shows lift status have been completely wrong since 14 April

As usual, toolbar/overlay vendors are seizing the opportunity to use #GAAD for marketing via their customers, often with inaccessible posts like this

Today is #GAAD! ��

We're proud to partner with @reciteme, making our website accessible for all. In Q1 2026, 81 users accessed the toolbar, mainly on mobile! Check out our accessibility tools: https://t.co/VWXWUXJkuS.

Happy International Please Make Your #GAAD Posts Accessible Day!

This thread is 8 images of stats and text without alt text

[BrowserStack @browserstack]

Day 1/7 | #GAAD week
We audited 1,000+ web pages for accessibility — and what we found was a massive gap.

👇 But it's one we can fix together. Look through, and stay tuned all week as we go deeper.

@ArlingtonMAPD Please could you add alt text to your images to make them accessible to people who are blind or partially sighted and use screen readers?

[Matt Eason @MattEason]

@browserstack Hello - none of this thread is accessible because none of the images have alt text

[Matt Eason @MattEason]

@cybersecurify This image doesn't have alt text

[Matt Eason @MattEason]

Hi @networkrail, your lift status API is still broken and hasn't been working since 14 April. Do you have an estimate for when it's likely to be fixed?

(It's NWR Lifts and Escalators: https://t.co/rYuvkpnhJi)

@ImAnAutie @Christiane @networkrail @nationalrailenq Yeah, NWR Lifts and Escalators (https://t.co/XQP8tUqPrD). I've reached out to them by email and a very helpful insider is on the case too

@networkrail @nationalrailenq Discovered this today while investigating why loads of lifts on https://t.co/ZhMqXaPgEO haven't updated in a month. Turns out the API is frozen in time at 14 April

Here's a dump of the data as of 4.30pm on 14 May - look at the updatedTime column:

@zoebread 1 art please

[Matt Eason @MattEason]

@Bovelett @toggl EAA was my first thought too but I _think_ it only applies to some quite specific industries like transportation and banking. Happy to be corrected though! And yes please do contact them, the more feedback they get the better

[Matt Eason @MattEason]

Disappointing response from @toggl to my colleague who asked why desktop app doesn't respond to Windows font size preferences and why their web app isn't accessible (loads of unlabelled buttons when using screen reader).

Asking for basic accessibility isn't a feature request

[Matt Eason @MattEason]

@fiverr @YoavR7 How did they end up in Google search results then?

[Matt Eason @MattEason]

@CityFibre @HeyBroadband I did, and they've said "Unfortunately, I am unable to assist from this department". So now what?

[Matt Eason @MattEason]

Second time in about 6 months that engineers working for @CityFibre have knocked out our @HeyBroadband connection while pulling cables through shared ducts. Please can you both work out why this keeps happening and stop it from happening again? I can DM details
