Public service workers have shown tremendous goodwill and respect by including cleaning up after themselves, donating to local food banks, and upholding their communities. They don't deserve to be fined for a honk and a hot dog.

I accept that SC 4.1.1 Parsing is problematic, but still have concerns about it's removal given that in some instances it provides an unambiguous fail for #a11y problems #WCAG

iPhone 14 accessibility tidbit: Apple has added a Mac-like startup chime when you boot the phone. My understanding is a lot of Blind and low vision people, even inside the company, wished for a concrete way to tell whether their phone restarted.
OMG @dboudreau the interview made it in @laura_carlson's email!!! You have no idea how happy this made me.

It’s time for yet another Hire Me PSA.
I’m open to a staff gig. If you (or someone you know) wants to diversify your newsroom and your tech coverage, say hi! Accessibility and assistive tech deserves its own beat, and I can help lead it. Disability is diversity.

Is there a place online where one can find all the articles written by @steven_aquino?
Hello @a11yMTL folks. We are trying to register the a11yMTL organization on Github and it's already taken. I'm wondering if anyone signup for GitHub.com/a11yMTL and forgot about it? I'm thinking maybe: @TouficSbeiti, @nschonni, @dboudreau or any of the original folks?
Not only are most of the @EntreprisesQc services only available in French for small businesses in Quebec and that their website is totally not accessible but they don't even support MacOS for their application. @gouvqc #adapteràlépoque
