Behold, video of my talk on #accessibility for content managers given at @wordcampcanada.bsky.social is up! wordpress.tv/2025/11/04/c...

Posters from the motherland - what a wealth of visual inspiration! Highly recommend viewing in chronological order (oldest first), it's a delightful romp through graphic arts history. Also, I dare you to try pronouncing the phonetic transcriptions digital-collections.princeton.edu/collections/...

I’m seeing Christmas content and will not stand for this Halloween erasure!!

Many struggle with writing alt text for charts and other other data visualizations. Amy Cesal's "Writing Alt Text for Data Visualization" hammers home the importance of explaining the chart type, the type of data, and the reason for the chart. medium.com/nightingale/...

This is why in UX we don’t generally ask users what they might like or prefer, and if we do, we still pay more attention to what we observe them do while using websites

The answer to “how do we find out X about our website audience/our donors/our community members” is never “ask AI”. They are humans and you can talk to humans. Talk to humans!!

Learned a new term today « synthetic discrimination ». Because regular ol’ discrimination isn’t enough

All hail our true lord and saviour, the Wayback Machine 🫶🏻

Ahhh the glorious hour when all the ants get wings and seemingly lose their minds

Hear me out, it’s a cover of Pearl Jam’s Jeremy but… it’s Jimothy

Imagine rearranging an apartment when you’re the kind of person who can tell when something is off by just a few pixels on a screen… I am that person. Things have been nudged by just a few inches more times than I can count. But it might finally be perfect 🥹

This week I learned that you can explicitly set the heading level for a paragraph style when exporting to PDF in InDesign #a11y dequeuniversity.com/assets/html/...

Facts

introduce yourself with 10 bands you’ve seen live - The Violent Femmes - The Black Keys - The Von Bondies - Cake - Death Cab for Cutie - The Flaming Lips - Alanis Morissette - The Shins - Modest Mouse - Garbage

I cannot stop watching the « 40 minutes late with an ice cream cone » skit. I would never… and it sounds like absolute chaotic joy

Friendly reminder to all who will listen to

Friends who care about data sovereignty — who are your go-to Canadian hosting companies for WordPress websites that have not only awesome security and performance but also support?!

Hugo nominees! My TBR overfloweth 😍📚 (and The Everlasting is a masterpiece)

I believe this is even more true for accessibility, especially given accessibility is explicitly about humans (no matter how much shitty LLM-first browsers misrepresent it): “The importance of people who care” rachelandrew.co.uk/archives/202...

For anyone following my broken ankle saga — very happy to report that I’m officially cleared to start physio next week 🎉🎉🎉 just about 2 months post-break and about 5.5 weeks post-op. It almost doesn’t feel real.

WTF are “girly jobs”?! The ones that pay less?? It’s 2026, gendering any job is a wild take. A whole article based on the premise?! Do better, @npr.org

What if his name was Donald Quixote

Fine, fiiine I am finally reading Piranesi. Seems like I will either love it or hate it, with equal passion, nothing in between … so at least some sort of passion shall be had?

A testament to why sans-serif fonts aren’t great for accessibility. Without the terminal on the lowercase “l” in Al Navarre’s name, one might wonder “what is this artificial intelligent calls Navarre?” when, in fact, Al is a human native of Toledo, Ohio

I might be missing something here but what’s stopping an EmDash plugin from getting hacked and doing the things it was cleared to do before (let’s say accessing the database) but now doing some nefarious with that?

Had a dream last night where I was in a self-driving car with a bunch of people and somehow this car also spat out a bunch of suggestion for healthcare websites. At this point, a friend turned to me and said: " take note of these and spin them up with Claude" and my visceral "no" reaction woke me up

An anti-Zionist Jew as the party leader and an anti-Zionist Jew as the party president, couldn’t be more excited for @ndp.ca and all of us ✊🏻 “we can have nice things” — @avilewis.ca

Please celebrate with me: today I’m finally able to put some weight on the ankle that became the victim of Montreal’s thaw/freeze cycle on Wednesday evening. My appreciation for simply walking has skyrocketed. The day when I can take more than a few steps can’t come soon enough!

Every time I see that a band I love is coming to Montreal I hope and pray that they won’t be playing at Place Bell 🫣 yea, the location is convenient enough by metro but the sound there is just terrible… is it me or would y’all also rather see bands at Mtelus or Club Soda?

A fascinating conversation. Public social media, you say?! Do go on. overcast.fm/+AA-asO1CWX0

Ah yes, much like saying “we will give more training to the executioners”

The wonderful thing about decluttering and organizing art supplies (collecting which is a hobby in it of itself) is realizing that the only real way to declutter them is… to use them already

The last thing I dreamed of this morning was the word « candle-ism » and immediately decided it was a candle-specific kind of vandalism then woke up but… there are many -isms out there. So I bring this v important question to you all: how would you define « candle-ism »? (wrong answers encouraged)

Hot chocolate ✅ from my favourite place in a cup with a stamp from my favourite movie 🥰

What an absolute waste of time and money just to be extra cruel. There are bigger fish to fry, right? RIGHT?!

Y’all know I love an npr book recommendation and, my gods, The Everlasting by Alix E. Harrow is an absolute triumph. Wouldn’t imagine a book about courtly knights and queen’s quests to be poignantly apropos to our political moment. But it’s this and more. Heartbreaking, defiant, and healing.

May i submit my candidates for 2026’s, Fuck White Supremacy, We Are Not Serene, We Got Stuff To Do ?

Surprised that the article doesn’t just say “have you listened to the words?”

My annual joy as an ex-scientist — the annual, silly and delightful, awards for unusual scientific research www.sciencefriday.com/segments/ig-...

Had a dream about a pinball machine called “End This Zoom Call”

You can read @lukelebrun.ca’s thread for all the details but here’s the gist: if you want journalists in Canada to be able to report on documents leaked by whistleblowers, you want @pressprogress.ca to win this lawsuit. The best way to help is to support this fundraising campaign 👇🏻
