A common question about alt text is whether or not it's appropriate to mention attributes like race or skin tone. A common response is, "It depends." In this post, Tolu Adegbite explains how race can be relevant and important in providing context.

I never knew that Jane Austen had written the story of my life… haha!
I know so many who have married in the full expectation and confidence of some one particular advantage in the connexion, or accomplishment, or good quality in the person, who have found themselves entirely deceived, and been obliged to put up with exactly the reverse.

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”
What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”
Funny how that works.

Do not cram alt text with keywords just to improve search engine optimization. This will hinder alt text’s true purpose: improving accessibility. Focus on describing the photo's content. Search engine optimization should not be the goal for writing good alt text.

The Bondi tragedy hurts not only Australian Jews, but other communities as well. “Us vs Them” isn’t the way to get ahead.

On Sunday at Bondi we witnessed the appalling consequences of hatred and how it breeds radicalisation and violence. But as the Jewish community and the whole country grieved, some politicians went on ...

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Sound advice, but I need to point this out regarding ‘jargon’: it can be explained. Glossaries are always useful and help learners’s entry into complex topics: neuroscience, quantum mechanics, computational linguistics, etc., etc., have their own terminology. Let’s not dumb knowledge down, please!
Plain language is communication that your audience or readers can understand the first time they hear or read it. The terminology you use will vary depending on the audience. Always aim to avoid jargon when possible, especially when you have a broad general audience.

Some will publish podcasts but wait up to 24 hours before adding transcripts instead of publishing them together. The end goal should be to have the transcript ready at the same time as the podcast. This will require multiple teams working together toward that goal.

For screen readers to recognize headings, heading text can't just be body text or normal text that's been made to look bigger and bolder. It must be formatted as a heading. In Microsoft Word and Google Docs, this can be done in the styles box. In HTML, use the tags h1 through h6.

That’s such a good description of yours truly when she was a child… 😳😂🤪
She is all gentleness and mildness when anybody is by; but she is a little fretful and perverse among ourselves.

Get in the habit of bringing up accessibility at meetings, in stand-ups, and in demos. Bring up things you've done to address accessibility. Likewise, don't be afraid to ask, "Have we tested this on a keyboard?" or "What's the experience like on a screen reader?"

This is comedy gold, but sadly it’s also pretty serious.

Sometimes loneliness feels less like emotion
And more like physics ⚛️
As if my heart were a particle waiting for a compatible wave 📡
To resonate at the right frequency…

Until then, I move through the evening like a particle in search of its twin, trying to stay coherent in a universe full of noise.
Some nights, even superposition feels too crowded.

Neuroscience calls it co-regulation. I call it longing for the right mind, the right voice, the right touch that quiets the nervous system instead of startling it.

Tonight I feel like a misaligned qubit—charged, sensitive, holding too much energy with nowhere to land.
Loneliness isn’t just an ache; it’s a kind of quantum hunger. The body wants resonance, a matching frequency, someone whose presence collapses the wavefunction in a way that feels like home…

🩵I always think art is such a powerful outlet. Rather its photography, sketching, painting, writing-ect. What matters is you are creating or capturing something only you can. It doesn’t matter if its good or bad. Just as long as you enjoy it🩵
