Been in the #accessibility space for about 15 years with limited hands on CSS and design work, but have recently been getting my hands dirty... I absolutely love #tailwindcss and #daisyui! Very awesome libraries.

I'm recovering from a breakdown at the moment and trying to get back on my feet with my workshops & Etsy.
If you could maybe RT my new creative & mental health workshop (previous few posts today,Friday 25th) it would help so much to show it to a few more eyes.
I'd really appreciate it, thankyou 🌿

I highly recommend using a helper function like `shouldNeverHappen` instead of throwing errors directly in your code (only applies to defects/panics).
It's an easy way to make your code more readable and improve DX by automatically opening the debugger during dev.

Gonna spend some time today curating my lists and feeds. BlueSky is to be my happy place, and while I want to follow politics, I need to compartmentalize.

I miss the days when I couldn’t sleep because my mind was thinking about an #a11y project. Now, I can’t sleep because America and democracy are being murdered. Everything is so heavy.

America has cancelled most DEIA programs. Having worked in the digital accessibility industry for over a decade, it’s likely many companies will now choose to punt on accessibility.
It is up to us to continue fighting the good fight. #accessibility #a11y

So here's an
#accessibility / #disability question:
How are blind people supposed to make up their own minds about a Nazi salute when they're relying on subtitles and audio descriptions, which are, unavoidably, someone else's interpretation, not their own direct observation?

Hey journalists, if you have not already done so, now is the time to file a FOIA request for Mar-a-Lago report so that it can’t be destroyed by new DOJ leaders when they take over. If (when?) dismissal or pardons of co-Ds occur, there will be no legal basis for refusing to comply.
