🚫403: The pinnacle of user experience!✨ In a bold move, this article demonstrates the decline of usability by being completely inaccessible. 🙈 Bravo, #LiteSpeed, for setting the bar so low it's practically a speed bump for ants. 🐜

Despite my vision being quite good, I lost out on being able to enjoy a meme because of a lack of alt-text. I could clearly see everything, but the logo in the meme was unfamiliar to me. Had alt-text been added to the picture, there is a good chance I could have found my answer there and enjoyed the meme like everyone else.

Alt-text is not just for the blind.

It’s #GAAD—Global Accessibility Awareness Day.

I recently met a man who had lost his vision. He was re-learning life. Things like unlocking a phone or finding a cup were suddenly challenges.

I’ve worked in accessibility for years—but this made it personal.

Accessibility isn’t just a feature or a checklist—it’s dignity. It’s independence. It’s humanity.

And when we skip it, we build exclusion by default.

Let’s do better. Let’s build for everyone.

Thirty-five days, thirty head-tilting contradictions: from elevators that *never* break to cafés that shun outdoor tables, from bullet-train punctuality to websites that “sleep” at night. Roll with me through Japan’s elegant chaos—where radical accessibility and rigid rule-books somehow coexist—and see why I left with a lighter suitcase, a happier stomach, and a head full of marvels.

If your friend, partner, child, or parent was neurodivergent — what kind of workplace would you want for them?

Why not build that now?

Hey everyone,

I hope you’re doing well! I’m reaching out to invite blind musicians, producers, and artists to join an **accessibility feedback group** for Sessionwire — a platform I’ve been using and really enjoying for a couple of years now.

**What is Sessionwire?**
Sessionwire is a remote music collaboration platform that allows musicians, producers, and audio professionals to work together in real time. It offers studio-quality audio, high-definition video, and seamless integration with popular DAWs, letting users collaborate on projects as if they were in the same room.

**Why am I reaching out?**
One of the developers at Sessionwire has asked me to bring together a group of blind users to help improve the platform’s accessibility. They already know which areas need work and are eager to collaborate with us to make Sessionwire better for everyone.

**Interested in participating?**
If you’re interested, **please reach out to me privately (one-on-one)** and send me the email address you’d like to use for communication. If you plan to use the same address to sign up for Sessionwire, let me know; otherwise, please also send the email you’ll use for your Sessionwire account.

If you have **any questions**, feel free to let me know!

Let’s work together to make Sessionwire more accessible for the blind community!

Hey y’all! 👋🏽

I’m looking for a good Mac app that can help me search through files more effectively. Right now, I’m trying to go through a big folder of sound effects on my external SSD—but when I search for specific words like *car* or *farm*, nothing useful shows up. 😩

The app *must* be accessible with VoiceOver. Any suggestions?
