Exciting news! At the @csswg f2f we just resolved to pursue a ::tooltip (name TBD) pseudo-element for styling native UA tooltips!
My proposal was the 5th time in 23 years it was brought up (and the 2nd time I brought it up — first was in 2012!): github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/…

Focus Appearance (new SC in WCAG 2.2) is causing some folks some confusion, I've tried to put down my thoughts on why it is how it is, and testing methods: alastairc.uk/2023/02/focus-a…

Seeking alternatives to BrowserStack for cross browser / device testing (since they got rid of their freelance plan that I loved). Real devices (not emulators) important. Anyone got any recommendations?

If treating disabled people's needs as an afterthought is ableist, is leaving web accessibility to a WCAG audit at the end of the design and build process, an ableist approach?
Please leave your reasons in the comments.

#aphasia is a #hidden disability. It affects understanding, reading, talking and writing but not intelligence. Living with aphasia, in a world that hasn’t heard of it is tough! @NETA_Aphasia have a message … will you help? #AphasiaAwareJune @RockingAphasia #RockingAphasia

I only discovered a couple days ago that I can give feedback on GitHub accessibility directly to GitHub — not as an issue, but as a discussion.
I filed an ‘issue’ for the inaccessible contributions chart I have been trying to get addressed for 4¼ years:

As you learn about accessibility and work with people with disabilities as part of inclusive design, you'll better understand people's accessibility needs.
You'll get good. Really good.
You'll be tempted to start leaving them out of the process.
Don't do it.

Meeting inclusion tip: use the full date when you deal with a distributed team. Your "Wednesday lunchtime" is Thursday 1am for others, and "we meet after the holidays" means nothing in their culture. Avoid platitudes like "I know it is start of the day…" as it isn't everywhere.
