I just published a new piece: “Why Can’t Everything Be Accessible?”
Accessibility isn’t complicated—it’s ignored. We’ve failed to teach, enforce, and value inclusion in tech.
Developers, educators, governments, and companies all have a role to play.
Read and share if you believe accessibility should be for everyone:

I missed this from back in May: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cnv5vj07plmo

Even #RollsRoyce in #Derby is scared of the US.

Has nobody got any backbone, or was it just somethingwash like everything else companies pretend they support?

The problem isn’t that DHH finally said the quiet part out loud.

The problem is that you’re still pretending it’s shocking, still refusing to connect the dots, and still showing the world that whiteness matters more to you than justice.

#Trump & #Hegseth #military address🤬🧵

#Defense Secy #PeteHegseth addressed the gathering of military leaders earlier.

He assailed what he called "decades of #decay" caused by policies promoting #diversity & #inclusion in the #USmilitary.

"Foolish & reckless political leaders set the wrong compass heading & we lost our way. We became the 'Woke Department,'" Hegseth said as he kicked off the event in Quantico, Virginia.

"But not anymore," he said.

Help wanted, please!

If you have *first hand experience* of improving the diversity of a governance board of (currently all men) volunteers, I'd love to hear how you went about it, or resources which helped you, please.

What did you find helped make the role more attractive to a wider range of applicants to join?
