My Mastodon image shows two playful dolphins. This article explains why. Written 3+ years ago, still true today. Can Flipper, Lassie, and the Australian Skippy the Kangaroo help us do our work even in these times? lflegal.com/2020/09/dolphin/ #a11y #negotiations
My website just got a refresh and a dolphin swam into the header. Did I convert my law practice to an aquarium? Did I move to Miami? I did not. Many people think lawyers should act like sharks. I have chosen the dolphin instead.

one thing that i'd love the WebAim screen reader survey to differentiate better is how results break down by OS (mainly to be able to have more segmented "on Mac, VoiceOver is effectively the only screen reader used" or similar). it might then also reframe some of the other statements/results, e.g. "71.6% of respondents use more than one desktop/laptop screen reader" ... I suspect those 71.6% are effectively Windows users? webaim.org/projects/screenreadā¦ #a11y #accessibility

As a front-end developer, there are some things that jumped out to me in the recent screen-reader survey. I'll share a couple of them, but keep in mind that I don't typically use a screen reader myself. You can take a look at the results yourself at:

This is wrong because you are not identifying the subject of the image as a fascist, you are overwriting the <img> element role so it effectively becomes a <fascist> element. Also, there is no explicit text identification of the subject as a fascist.
A much better way to achieve the aim of identifying a fascist (and not misusing aria-roledescription): Example of a fascist code <figure> <figcaption>Example of a fascist</figcaption> <img src="dt.PNG" alt="Donald Trump"> </figure>
