Developing WP Themes with core navigation block? Frustrated by the block closing when you focus out?

Deactivate the focus out attribute during development to save time. (Code in Caption)

If I have to email event organizers to ask for accessibility info, it means I have to ask, "am I welcome?"

Consider how it feels to have to do that, knowing the majority of the time, the answer is "no."

Give access info up front. Don't make disabled people beg for inclusion.

[EJ Mason @codeability]

the web is where people’s lives happen. they complete important tasks; they work; they spend time in community. when we make the web inaccessible, when we allow harmful behavior to thrive, we tell vulnerable people that they do not deserve community. i refuse to accept that.

[Aurooba Ahmed @aurooba]

I cannot say this enough. If you code for the #WordPress block editor, USE the block editor. Learn how it works, how it communicates with the user. Learn how CORE works, without any added stuff.

Here's why – a thread 🧵

“Oftentimes, I hear in communities that people with disabilities just have to understand that sometimes their needs can’t or won’t be met.

We shouldn’t be that community. WCUS can be more accessible.” - @michelleames

[just E @redhotdisabled]

the easiest way to be an ‘ally’ to the disabled community right now is to wear a mask—even when you’re the only one in the room doing it.

if it feels awkward, imagine how awkward it is to care more about what other people think than actual lives 🤷

[Tess @tessiselated]

I have a tech rant in me (who's surprised) and I'm using current ao3 💿🐴 as a tangent diving board

about how modern technology and the way we interact with it feeds a certain "learned helplessness" - and how we can only relate to technology as consumers

[EJ Mason @codeability]

I don't want 'a11y'; I want disability justice, for all disabled people, in all environments. An accessible web would be an expression of that justice. To get there, we have to understand the systems that got us *here*, which tech is so desperate to not consider.

Another comic about communication and conversation problems, and why you think I'm shy when we're all in a social group.

Last talk of the day! Come learn how to build a custom block! #WCMontclair

We're now back home in Philly, everyone collapsed on the couch 😄

After a great #WCMontclair yesterday, we grabbed breakfast sandwiches and drove to the South Mountain dog park. Lemon got to run around, meet other dogs, and play herself out 💚
