Ashlee 🤟🏻 @ashleemboyer.com · 21/09/2026I'm learning how to use Blender because I just started playing House Flipper and want to create custom objects. I made a coffee mug! 0130
Ashlee 🤟🏻 @ashleemboyer.com · 16/09/2026I meant to type "linkedin" but searched "link" on duckduckgo instead and it showed me the duck dressed as Link!! 4470

Ashlee 🤟🏻 @ashleemboyer.com · 05/08/2026I knew I was having bad executive functioning issues but yesterday I learned about functional freeze. Pretty sure I’ve been there for a long time. I read that creativity and journaling can help, and I’ve already been writing with pen and paper and finding it helpful in organizing my thoughts. 270
Ashlee 🤟🏻 @ashleemboyer.com · 27/07/2026TIL what "mondegreens" are. Absolutely fascinating linguistic origin and history. 021

Ashlee 🤟🏻 @ashleemboyer.com · 13/07/2026Building Access by Aimi Hamraie should be required reading for anyone whose work touches accessibility 🔖 www.upress.umn.edu/978151790164... 022
Ashlee 🤟🏻 @ashleemboyer.com · 13/07/2026There is a lot to unpack here and I don't have all the words for it yet. But it feels really gross that disability is positioned as an unfortunate "ever-increasing" consequence of aging. The outcome of advancements in medicine & accessibility is that disabled people live longer. 132
Ashlee 🤟🏻 @ashleemboyer.com · 07/07/2026Summarize, analyze, and get up to speed with these hands 🖕🏻🖕🏻 050
Ashlee 🤟🏻 @ashleemboyer.com · 22/06/2026See this comment in its entirety. She’s lecturing Maysoon, a disabled Palestinian, about her own community saying she doesn’t give a shit about disability justice. One principle of disability justice is Leadership of the Most Impacted. Taylor is a white disabled woman and completely out of line. 0232
Ashlee 🤟🏻 @ashleemboyer.com · 18/06/2026Answering a question on my new accessibility coaching sessions: Will I be doing the work for you, or teaching you how to do it long term? Teaching is preferred, but if you have other tasks to handle ASAP I can help there too! Interested? Schedule a free discovery call: semanticfish.com/coaching 022
Ashlee 🤟🏻 @ashleemboyer.com · 17/06/2026Looking for 1:1 support in work related to planning, design, development, testing, & documentation? I'm opening up 1:1 accessibility coaching sessions! ☺️ For folks who are doing their best despite declining institutional support. Info & interest form: semanticfish.com/coaching 063
Ashlee 🤟🏻 @ashleemboyer.com · 14/06/2026I added a new page to the @semanticfish.com website for anonymous questions! Accessibility questions are my fave but not required. ☺️ semanticfish.com/ama Depending on the content, I'll probably lean towards answering in something like a blog posts. 014
Ashlee 🤟🏻 @ashleemboyer.com · 12/06/2026Doing #accessibility tests. Sharing for edu. Described in replies. 1) Button w/ visible text should be named w/ that text. 2) Don't put instructions in element names. 3) Don't put "click" in instructions. Antithetical to #a11y. 4) Instructions overly verbose. 5) Likely shouldn't be toggle buttons. 1124
Ashlee 🤟🏻 @ashleemboyer.com · 11/06/2026This article is SO CLOSE to getting to the heart of IQ testing and gifted & talented programs. It's rooted in eugenics, segregation, classification to sustain capitalism. Disabled students are perceived 'unruly' to that goal and put in special edu classes to be 'rehabilitated' back to 'normal'. 192
Ashlee 🤟🏻 @ashleemboyer.com · 09/06/2026Hi! 👋🏻☺️ I'm a self-employed software engineer and specialize in web accessibility. You've just come across a post I'm using to test the new photo carousel! Please ignore unless you want to observe the tests! I'm working on a blog post with my findings. 0100
Ashlee 🤟🏻 @ashleemboyer.com · 01/06/2026Here is what the text selection looks like. It appears the overlay visibility happens at the end of a touch event. It should probably be a tap, or at the very least ignore long press. The oveay goes away when I try to select, unless I get all the text selected in one go. 020
Ashlee 🤟🏻 @ashleemboyer.com · 01/06/2026Even if this isn’t new… when the alt text is really long there’s a transparent background behind the text?? This is so hard to read wtf. bsky.app/profile/ashl... 273
Ashlee 🤟🏻 @ashleemboyer.com · 28/05/2026Found it! "Notes Concerning Brookville, Ind., a Century Ago" published in the Indiana Magazine of History in 1917. Retrieved from scholarworks.iu.edu/journals/ind.... The town's website has a solid history page too: brookville.in.gov/history/. 010
Ashlee 🤟🏻 @ashleemboyer.com · 27/05/2026Why would Google make one of these icons a different color than the others... and why would they choose YELLOW 😭 #a11y #accessibility 380
Ashlee 🤟🏻 @ashleemboyer.com · 26/05/2026Of course Indiana Governor Mike Braun would claim a “focus on affordability” when gas prices lowered due to him temporarily suspending some gas taxes 010
Ashlee 🤟🏻 @ashleemboyer.com · 02/05/2026This should be interesting: vpatcode-worker.webcraft-stephanie-fenton.workers.dev/proxy?url=ht.... (archived: archive.today/2026.05.02-1...) 100
Ashlee 🤟🏻 @ashleemboyer.com · 01/05/2026"Stop buying audits" is a red flag to me. In WebAIM's Web Accessibility Practitioners Survey #3 (Jan 2021), there were 746 responses to "Do you consider yourself to have a disability?" 29.1% said Yes. This space has A LOT of disabled practitioners! "Stop buying audits" is actually bad for us. 162
Ashlee 🤟🏻 @ashleemboyer.com · 01/05/2026"Pointing a tool at the vendor’s site is often a good test." 100% agree with this! I manually found this issue on the original site: set `font-size: 200%` on the <html> element, set viewport to 320px wide. However they're positioning the skip to main link, it's obscuring content when not focused. 120
Ashlee 🤟🏻 @ashleemboyer.com · 01/05/2026I ran it and it said 78% just now. Small difference but still different. 🤔 220
Ashlee 🤟🏻 @ashleemboyer.com · 28/04/20269 months ago, the US Department of Labor withdrew a 2024 proposed rule to end subminimum wages for disabled people. They said it’s still needed bc 40,000 disabled people were paid less than $7.25/hr in 2024. Too much ongoing discrimination to end discrimination??? www.govinfo.gov/app/details/... 0146
Ashlee 🤟🏻 @ashleemboyer.com · 28/04/2026I think it sucks this nearly 1,000 word article includes only one critical viewpoint. 85 words, one paragraph, at the end. I'm glad it's @jaivirdi.com's viewpoint. And there should be so many more too! There is NO shortage of similar viewpoints from DHH people. They should be amplified! 042
Ashlee 🤟🏻 @ashleemboyer.com · 25/04/2026Experimenting with a handwritten format for IG posts. No template, created from a picture I took of a notepad! Is it eye-catching? 130
Ashlee 🤟🏻 @ashleemboyer.com · 23/04/2026Think I’ll have to make photo essays be part of my first book. This strip of Franklin Road has so many memories. Like this specific DQ where I got countless medium vanilla cones dipped in chocolate. Across the street I got foil-wrapped Hershey bars and Extra gum. And tiger tails at Village Pantry. 030
Ashlee 🤟🏻 @ashleemboyer.com · 14/04/2026The IEDC announced a $60M deal to bring Israeli tech start-ups to Indiana. Indiana will commit $15M, Iron Nation (launched after October 7, 2023) expected to invest another $30M. Luke Messer is calling Braun courageous for supporting war and genocide. www.wfyi.org/statewide/20... 100
Ashlee 🤟🏻 @ashleemboyer.com · 12/04/2026Is this a joke????????? A Section 508 disclaimer in 11px font with 3.82:1 contrast on an HHS website, RealFood (dot) gov I just took these screenshots, but here's an archive link dated 3/23/2026: archive.today/2026.03.23-0.... 192
Ashlee 🤟🏻 @ashleemboyer.com · 12/04/2026Welp my annual subscription has finally ended. It's really too bad this is the cheapest small biz plan with Figma Design. Didn't use Make, Draw, Sites, Dev Mode, FigJam, or Slides. Have zero interest in 3,000 AI credits. 160
Ashlee 🤟🏻 @ashleemboyer.com · 11/04/2026Gross. A generic <div> with an aria-label. On a Section508.gov online training at that! www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-... 240
Ashlee 🤟🏻 @ashleemboyer.com · 08/04/2026Is this why my joints are angry? 😫 (Temps are in fahrenheit) 020
Ashlee 🤟🏻 @ashleemboyer.com · 01/04/2026I HEAVILY use snippets for this, so I'm really excited to try a built in way!! 110
Ashlee 🤟🏻 @ashleemboyer.com · 31/03/2026Are you using AI to generate inaccessible <div> soup? It takes a bit more than "role" and "tabindex" to build an ARIA link. Or just use <a> elements! Video shows the feed links are reachable with a keyboard, but only "More feeds" can be activated with ENTER. bsky.app/profile/jay.... 063
Ashlee 🤟🏻 @ashleemboyer.com · 31/03/2026This is way too many elements with aria-label. Some of them overwrite the visible text! 😬 bsky.app/profile/jay.... 252
Ashlee 🤟🏻 @ashleemboyer.com · 31/03/2026I ran one set of automated accessibility tests. Yeah... "made with AI" definitely tracks. 1185
Ashlee 🤟🏻 @ashleemboyer.com · 29/03/2026I lived in rural Hendricks County 10+ years near Lebanon. No light pollution was amazing. Now-husband & I fell asleep under a meteor shower after our 1st date. Meta’s enormous data center campus construction is round the clock & disrupting peace, sleep, star gazing. www.wthr.com/article/news... 020
Ashlee 🤟🏻 @ashleemboyer.com · 26/03/2026🚨 Call to action 🚨 Tell the Federal Government Not to Change the Title II Accessibility Regulations: www.lflegal.com/2026/03/titl.... Deadline’s been known 2 years. Rule was deliberated for over a decade. #ADA & #WCAG have been around forever. There’s no reason to change the rule! #A11y #Resist 132
Ashlee 🤟🏻 @ashleemboyer.com · 19/03/2026Vercel's updating their Terms of Service and Privacy Policy and it's gross so I'm gonna go finally remove all my leftover shit from there expeditiously 130
Ashlee 🤟🏻 @ashleemboyer.com · 17/03/2026Haven't used VoiceOver on my older Mac in a while, so of course Safari has to make it difficult for no reason at all 021
Ashlee 🤟🏻 @ashleemboyer.com · 13/03/2026There are many YELL worthy parts in this article, but for an org that serves Deaf people… MANAGEMENT DIDN’T LET HER WEAR HER HEARING AIDS FOR A MONTH AND A HALF???? I’m grateful to have read about the “accommodations loop,” otherwise I would have no words or place to put my rage 13315
Ashlee 🤟🏻 @ashleemboyer.com · 12/03/2026And if this was flipped around in the other direction, and people were approving grants with no experience, you know DOGE bros would be absolutely screeching about it 183
Ashlee 🤟🏻 @ashleemboyer.com · 09/03/2026I fully disagree if anyone concludes this from Eric’s article, but I’m one of the rare few who understand the APG isn’t prod-ready code. 😉 But I also fully agree with the content of this section! Despite so much time & effort, people don’t read warning labels and want acessibility to be copy/paste. 010
