Hey folks. I mentioned this in my #axeCon2022 talk, but I wanted to share it here too: edf-feph.org/ukraine/ People with disabilities in Ukraine are hugely impacted by the war. Please give this a read, if you can, please help. ♥️🇺🇦
Hopefully my fancy new noise-isolating headset will cancel out my new puppy in the background! youtube.com/shorts/VDoq0aKT4…
I’m sitting in @SDI_Disability’s first #NDEAM activity, and there’s a bunch of @roll20app employees in attendance. We see you and appreciate you leaning in! #a11y #disability

UX/Design/Dev/a11y:
Done! I've curated 650+ links and 150+ accessibility links I've collected over the years in my UX journey.
I'll continue to add to my mini library and hope you find this to be a useful resource.

***Disability Justice Thread***
PLEASE #DisabilityTwitter do your thing and boost these resources and mutual aid requests!
So many communities are being left behind and abandoned, especially our BIPOC, queer and trans, & undocumented disabled family.
BOOST!
I was just explaining this to someone last week - this video is excellent!
I’m so used to blind people saying they thought I was white, it doesn’t surprise me now. When you do image descriptions, don’t skip race. Don’t leave room for harmful assumptions. This is #intersectionality. I made a video on inclusive descriptions

ALT I'm sitting outside with my head and shoulders visible in the image, and my guide dog stretched out behind me. I'm a Black woman with long dark hair and hazel eyes wearing a blue top. Text reads: I'm not white. Honest! Blind people and visual accessibility.

ARIA can be frustrating for responsible developers trying to learn in earnest. It’s hard to get right but not impossible. In this 3-part series I try to dispel some myths, expose some tricky areas to be aware of, and hopefully make learning ARIA a little bit easier. #ally
#ARIA is commonly misunderstood and misused by developers.
In part 1 of this 3-part blog post series, @gerardkcohen combats this by discussing the dangers of ARIA, provides an intro to the official ARIA standard, and reviews the 5 rules of ARIA.
