Woo! Today is the first day of axe-con.
So many talks on AI.
So many times I want to scream.
Because why are we only thinking about ethics, safety, and accessibility now?
AI is already out and causing havoc. You can't made blueberry muffins by shoving blueberries into a baked plain muffin.
I'm doing the design keynote at #axecon 2026! I'll be refuting – err I mean, discussing how accessibility isn’t something generative interfaces or AI will fix.
The event is free/online and folks can register here: www.deque.com/axe-con/regi....

Thank you thank you!! 🤞💜
Have you ever been mesmerized by movers packing up your furniture, killing full rolls of packaging tape left and right, treating your stuff with care by wrapping it in blankets and sheets of plastic or cardboard?
Happening now and it’s amazing to watch.
The sheer volume of headlines, lawsuits, and commentary surrounding accessibility overlays can be overwhelming to fully grasp.
We made a timeline to help anyone understand and share this rich and cursed saga in digital accessibility.

Thank you for making this so easy to complete! 🙌
When attempting this just now, I'm receiving the following error: "Unhandled Promise Rejection: TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating 'lastPage.innerText')"
I appreciate the idea of our Brooklyn apartment having enough space to warrant a sewing room! 😂 It is a box/3D grater though… still haven’t found it.
If you misplaced a cheese grater, where would you look?
What reverse superstitions exist for when you’ve broken a mirror?
Never mind, she called it, our beer tender friend answered it, she has since come by and picked it up!
There is one good thing for this week, thank goodness.
If you know someone named Karaan who lives in NYC and or is visiting and has lost their phone, we found it and have given it to the closest open shop, Beer Witch in Park Slope.
Add alt text to your images you fucking dorks.
It's the bare minimum.
Bare. Fucking. Minimum.
“I’m keeping Twitter and using Bluesky too”
Hear me out, the longer you stay on that platform the longer you amplify its power.
Do not half use Bluesky hoping it will magically be like the Twitter you spent years cultivating.
Invest in the change and cultivate here. You have a new garden!
@bsky.app I did a quick test of the app using TalkBack on android and came across a frustrating accessibility bug. When using a screen reader the content from the feed is still being read even though the user is on the new post screen.
Screen reader output text is shown at the bottom of the video.
You are a blue ribbon human, thank you so much!!!
Asking for a friend, is there an app or search parameter that exists to locate USPS mailboxes out in the wild (and the friend is me)?
Nothing like starting my day with an earthquake in brooklyn. What the heck?
I love it all the more now!!!! 🧜♂️🧜♀️
The color of my cover image (which I have yet to do anything with) or the color of the pillar behind my head in my profile image? If the later, it’s Prime’s teal at their DT Minneapolis space. 🎉
But I love the mermaid color name!
There’s been a lot of hubbub in the digital accessibility space because a consultancy bought an accessibility overlay company.
After years of ongoing debate and issues with overlays.
Mostly though I wasn’t surprised, I find myself pretty disillusioned with the corporate version of accessibility.
There is a first for everything, I suppose.
