If your entire accessibility strategy relies on developers seeking out and reading documentation… … yeah, good luck with that.

Why does my brain try to sabotage me? Had a panic dream at 4am that I missed my web accessibility specialist exam tomorrow because I got hyperfocused on a task and lost track of time 🤦🏻‍♀️ This is why I get stuck in waiting mode instead 🙄

I literally just got back from returning some library books on my lunch break and the library messages me to say my reservation is ready. I was just there 15 minutes ago 😭

5 day working weeks are overrated. Can I please have some more bank holidays and long weekends?

Trying to book an exam: if you need accommodations we will ring you to schedule your exam (even having a water bottle is an accommodation) Me: 😭😭😭 weighs life choices and which is worse - 3 hours without water/toilet break or having to make a phone call 😭😭😭

It’s amazing how differently different browsers and screen reader combinations can behave. I was testing some custom checkboxes in a form and they behaved wildly differently with Chrome + VO, safari + VO and Firefox + NVDA. Remember to check as many browsers as possible, not everyone uses Chrome

Passed the Web Accessibility Specialist screening from IAAP so now I can book my exam in May. Time to study shortcut keys for 5 different screen readers 🥲

The web accessibility specialist courses from Deque are really thorough but all the “must, should, may” language is super confusing. Just tell me the WCAG level instead 😬

My biggest takeaway from JSDay conference last week came from a 5 minute lightning talk. You are not your user. Be a user advocate. I like the term user advocate. I feel like it describes perfectly what I try to do.

I put something somewhere safe but it was obviously so safe even I can’t remember where I put it 😬

I was on a podcast talking to Tim Damen about accessibility. I can definitely recommend listening to all the other episodes in the series too! www.linkedin.com/posts/focusr...

I’m so tired of my computer claiming paths don’t exist every time I need to clone a new repo at work 😬 I spend most of my time debugging my setup instead of actually coding. Why is it so complicated? 😓

When you are looking at new libraries or frameworks to use in your code, check their accessibility documentation before you decide. It may be great for performance but if it's not accessible it's not a good choice. And just because a FAANG company wrote it doesn't make it good either

Libraries are great! I put in a request for a book 2 days ago which they didn’t have. Just got an email saying they’ll buy a copy and have reserved it for me so I’ll get a notification as soon as it arrives and they add it to the system 😃

Today is Dyscalculia Awareness Day so to make yourself more aware you should definitely check out this great website accessiblenumbers.com and I can 100% recommend the podcast of the same name

Designing services for people who need help with numbers

Low numeracy affects half of adults in the UK. Many live with the limitations of not understanding numbers and the impact that has on everyday life.

Great day at an Axe Con watch party but I networked too hard and now I’m exhausted #introvertHangover

Happy #axecon day everyone!

My email app on my phone updated and added a random meaningless (to me) icon beside each email and I now don’t understand my inbox anymore. Talk about cognitive overload 😬 how do I get rid of them?

I wanted to watch an accessibility event today but all the times listed were in EET and although it’s only an hour difference my lil brain just couldn’t work out when all the different sessions were. I’m hoping they recorded it 🤞🏻

I wrote some words about accessibility tooling, and how they often end up in the "good intentions" pile. The TLDR: Get your accessibility tooling off from your developers' machines and into your CI heather-buchel.com/blog/2025/01...

Accessibility tooling and good intentions

Your accessibility tooling deserves the same first class treatment as the rest of your stack.

About to see Les Miserables world tour in Stockholm. I’m soooo excited, it’s been over 12 years since I last saw it in London

I can tell you right now that this world is about to change. The days to come will only grow darker. And when you find something good? You hold on to it. You don't waste time worrying about things that won't even matter in the end. Rather, you take a risk for that light. -Divine Rivals,Rebecca Roos

My nephew wants to learn how to make a website so I just showed him a few basics on codepen and he’s now making a little site about Fortnite, alt text included 😁

What is the world coming to? My local supermarket just sent me a 2024 wrapped with my most bought products 😂

I searched for ONE fantasy book on YouTube and now my recommendations are entirely fantasy BookTube videos 😬

I love seeing my nieces and nephews but I do wish they’d keep their germs to themselves 🤧😷
