Next up is @ronsman.bsky.social with a public service announcement: disabled is the new normal! And he’s starting on a topic near to my heart, how the Industrial Revolution kicked off a change in perception of human bodies based on how well they could fit in to large-scale systems. #A11yCamp2025

Ricky Onsman mentions how in his technical writing role it's important for him to get words and terminology right to avoid misinterpretation and ambiguity, and how frustrated he gets when people use words to hurt others.
(Me: Cue vigorous nodding of autistic people in the audience 😂)

Normally when I share accessibility bugs I do it for two reasons:
1. Good faith that the company will fix the issue
2. The company won't fix the issue and the public should pay attention.
This time, I will look at America by Design for a new reason: rage.
Automated test: 288 accessibility bugs

I've seen this on Bluesky and had to try it myself. The image below was the response to the prompt: "Show me a diagram of the US presidents since Herbert Hoover, with their names and years in office under their photos" Bravo, OpenAI, bravo.
