AS OF AUG 10, 2023, THIS ACCOUNT IS, AND WAS, INACTIVE AND NOT ACTIVELY MANAGED. ANY POSTS, LIKES, ENGAGEMENT, ETC SINCE THAT DATE WERE NOT DONE ON BEHALF OF THE ACCOUNT OWNER.
Overlays (widgets) are sold as silver bullet solutions toward website accessibility. However, they're bandaids that override assistive tech. Now an overlay company is suing an accessibility advocate because the truth is out about their shortcomings.

This "side project" sounds exhausting though... Spreading yourself thin. And minimizing "grow a social media account" as if it's snap your fingers easy. Sinking money into paid ads on a whim with a shaky foundation. Is this really what people are teaching and doing? Lawd.

My quarterly complaint that you can't leave Slack workspaces without an Admin doing it for you -_- So much digital clutter since I can't ditch old or inactive groups on my own. Makes me hesitant to even join new ones, tbh. /rant
Y'all... We won a thing! Thanks to the amazing team @SVADSI , we got Gold and Silver for "Branding for Social Change".
Check out the project!

Well, it has a lot to do with x-height but of course it's a bit more complicated than that: ↓

Tools and tech developed for the convenience of non-disabled people actually opens up new doors for disabled people. In the Lab, we talk about 5 of those products, neurodivergent characters in kids shows & if "social justice" fonts have any impact.

I'm a firm believer in not gatekeeping anything to do with design.
With immense pride I give you @Smith_Diction's process. There's no secret sauce or magic question. But there is a process. So here it is for you.
