Was without connectivity for nearly 24 hours due to a massive storm system here and no hotspot. I include outages as first-order Accessibility. I struggled to do anything work related with no literal access! Internet and Web are truly assistive technologies themselves! #a11y #WWW

outages, slow or intermittent connections, broken keyboards, and many other things are accessibility barriers whether temporary or situational or both.

As is the "digital divide' - I believe Accessibility is the entry point for most things, Web specifically, not the end or tack it on or blind folks don't buy cars, or remediation. Infrastructure, language, literacy, culture all are issues of access. As is clean code and design :)
