mastodon 4.6.0-nightly.2026-03-16

Currently working on accessibility at Google Search. Views here are my own. Views through my eyes are only peripheral, as I have no central vision.

I advocate for public transportation and a built environment that's accessible to disabled people and moves us away from reliance on cars. I've spent most of my life in the bay area.

Interests include jazz, other music, trains, cycling, photography, cooking, and Minecraft.

@TheOverheadWire@sfba.social the story about drivers in Philadelphia being paid for speed bumps damaging their cars got me. I wish wheelchair riders could get paid whenever they have to roll over a bump in the sidewalk. Philly has a lot of bad ones. CC @Aubrie@verse.aubrielee.com, who actually just had her chair damaged rolling up the ramp to Golden Gate Ferry.

@BorrisInABox@fwoof.space I’m only a few millimeters from buying a Move, mostly because of you. I think I’d need some tutorial or instructions though, especially for using the screen reader output thing, and I’m not even talking about Move Everything. How/where should I learn stuff?

Yet another reason not to update to macOS #Tahoe: Apple removed the ability to open multiple tabs in the Maps app. I use that all the time.

I'm excited that I've been selected to serve on the MTC-ABAG Community Advisory Council, representing disabled people.

MTC (Metropolitan Transportation Commission) and ABAG (Association of Bay Area Governments) make decisions about housing and transportation across the 9 counties of the San Francisco bay area.

Info on the council: https://mtc.ca.gov/about-mtc/committees/mtc-abag-community-advisory-council

It seems to me that if a company wants to provide a transportation service to the public, it should be accessible to wheelchair rriders.

If you share a video of a screen reader doing something, include the audio of the screen reader speaking. Do not just have a silent video with the speech captions shown. Otherwise, you’re preventing the very people who use screen readers from perceiving the video. 🤦 Mentioning this because I encountered this for probably the thousandth time today. #a11y

That’s a first: A website that completely disables itself with an overlay if your iPad or iPhone are in landscape mode. Something has gone very wrong in your understanding of websites if you do this.

@agiletortoise@mastodon.social I’ve had to stop this from being implemented a couple times. In this case, screen readers can still access the whole page. So silly.
