So many hugs - for years not seen and a few extra to use PRN!

Many speakers have slides posted but all #axecon talks are available next week! I see so many dearly loved friends, new faces, thinking of those moving on, too many gone. Thanks @dboudreau (Denis!) @dequesystems for adding the sweet n' tangy to #A11y as well as my very marrow! 🥰
For anyone wondering... YES, you can still register for #axecon here (deque.com/axe-con/) despite the conference being over. That'll get you access to all of the recordings as of next week. Do it. You know you want to. ;)

Way to turn a phrase, Robert! I almost lol'd for real because your wit is sharp but nicked my lip on the razor's edge of a story known too long, too bloody true so a typed ha ha ha and perfect sardonic nostril twitch is best I can do for old problems with newer titles and v.∞ 🙄

Not accessible! A water table at Tier Zero, 99% drought (down from september's 100%) and one man made distribution source in the 3 most warming city in the USA where ALL THE PEOPLE FROM CALIFORNIA are moving in droves. Deserts typically show extreme climate changes fast, hard :(

and we are proving it during a drought in a desert where snow occurs on the floor 0.02 days at most a year. Wild and somewhat terrifying in an 'at least it's not wildfires' as was the warning mere hours ago! Eric, it's still falling big n' fluffy but no accumulation down here.

Never have I ever seen over an hour of snow in Tucson, Arizona on the Sonoran Desert floor. 0", longest period of snow in a drought plagued desert which at most might see 0.2 snowfall day(s), and 0.08" (2mm) of snow in a year. Good: Not wildfires. Bad: We need NEW new math now.

After weeks of red flag wildfire alerts from extreme drought, highs above 85F, tenants begging for switch from heating to a/c, no breezes became wind and I just saw a movement from 2nd floor through closed blinds. I walked over and yes, it is snowing in March in Tucson, Arizona.

Oh dd you hit a nerve with the "dev groups claim success" comment, which begs the question just who is successful in such a case? To which I have several answers none of which address folks who don't use "devs" daily. Or ever ;) Or never use human testing for real real.

For me as a user, the most irksome #a11y and #UX issues relate to forms, like full refresh on every single checkbox selection. If I have 80,000 checkboxes, I still can group and store by group, not every damned check. "So small on phone, store nao!" And there's no label FFS. WHY?

Whether it's an #a11y "shotgun house" social problem (add it at the ass end, poorly), the "who cares I'm not disabled (yet)" fallacy, a policy concern or other accessibility woe: What issues irk you the most and why? Any method, approach or idea you tried ever even kinda help?

Or worse, become enamoured of your own reflection ;-)
However this is not saying let's turn back what's been done but let's look at what's been done and include and evolve Real semantics, meaning, ontology and separation of a web meant to be open not abstracted for at least anything related to web document management. Any thoughts?

It is born of many decades of personal as well as professional experimentation, mistakes, creation of problems of which I am epicly genius at and deep thought and study over what meaning really is and can be when realized for the web. It coexists with many important new ideas.

It's been implied that I want to impose semantics over functional. I am passionate and yet imposition of ideas and beliefs on me or others rather than informed individuality. Ever see someone try to impose an idea on me? Haha! My desire for semantics in markup is without apology.

It feels important to talk a little more about exclusivity in #webdev #webdesign and #a11y and how the Semantic Web was excluded and not included with technology more expedient for applications. In order to be inclusive one cannot win over another. One size has never fit all.

What a great clarification thank you for asking no I mean that some of us as human beings are pushed into situations that cause conditions people would mistake as invisible or behavioral only. It does dovetail with education and awareness. I hope this clarifies my meaning 😊
This is very interesting since men and other people tend to see me coming and get the hell away if I'm by myself. This has happened all over the world and I believe in part is due to being raised in New York and also being able to project an unnerving vibe of danger if needed.
Men: if you are walking and end up on the same route as a woman in front of you, try to reduce anxiety by holding back, crossing the road or changing to a different route. It is a very small thing to do that might help a woman feel safer.

Some of us are being pushed against our will due to Serious Medical conditions. It's not a matter of just being pushed when you can't shove back. Much less suggest other points of view without being accused of conflict and imposition of views. It is in a word word: exclusive. 💔
Devs: Semantic Web people continue to march into the sunset Gartner: Graph relates everything
