Accessibility Talks: “Accessibility: The Never-Ending Story” with AmyJuneHineline April 29 at 12p ET. Accessibility isn’t a task you finish. We audit, fix, and launch but the work can quietly slip as content changes, teams evolve, and standards advance. This session explores accessibility as a living practice across the lifecycle of open source projects, including insights from WCAG 2.2, WCAG 3, and the European Accessibility Act. Learn how to keep accessibility from fading after launch and build workflows that sustain progress.
Accessibility isn’t something you finish.
Join us for #A11yTalks: Accessibility: The Never-Ending Story with AmyJune Hineline.
A look at accessibility as an ongoing practice, with insights from WCAG 2.2, WCAG 3, and the European Accessibility Act.

I started video screen recording on my iPhone, then playing a message from voicemail. The video recorded all the text from Live Captions.
After saving to Photos, I could open the video on my iPhone and use Apple's built-in OCR to copy the text from the video and paste it into Notes.🤘🏽

A screenshot from my stream of Resident Evil Requiem shows a dark, ornate structure centred within a shadowy alcove, flanked by two thick, dark vertical pillars. The structure's top features a golden-coloured arch with celestial motifs, including stars and a moon, positioned above a rectangular section with four vertical golden panels. The base of the structure features three square panels: the leftmost is glowing brightly white, the middle contains a star symbol, and the rightmost contains a crescent moon symbol. Below the second and third symbols, blurry but accurate Braille lettering is visible. Overlaid on the image is a video player interface. At the bottom left, a small rectangular webcam window shows a man with a beard and short brown hair, wearing a black headset and a dark polo shirt, in a room with shelves in the background.
Arguably, a massive missed opportunity!
Blind character? check.
Puzzle that features accurate Braille? Check.

Andrew is standing next to a slide which reads 'Thanks for listening' and contains some supportive links.
Andrew explains who disabled people are.
Super accessibility event last night, thank you, Andrew Nevins. It was fascinating to learn all about how society models disability, the tools disabled people use to access digital content, the barriers they face, and how we can adopt good practices.

Lovely to see alt text being added as a feature for banners and avatars on Mastodon, but I think it would make more sense to allow a full 250 characters instead of only 150 as it currently stands. This would let people describe their skin tone, hair, what they're wearing, and what might be […]

pictures of new path to Dunbar station The new path to Platform2 at Dunbar station is now complete. The path creates a direct link to Platform2, the southern platform, to thousands of people living in new housing developments. It reduces the time to walk/wheel/cycle to the station and avoids an underpass. The project is a partnership with ScotRail,East Lothian Council, and with funding from Transport Scotland’s Active Travel Infrastructure Fund (ATIF). Scotland’s Railway’swork was led by Jo Noble ofthe strategy & investment team. The Railway for Everyone team recently ran a pre-intervention survey at Dunbar to set a baseline for travel habits to the station before the new path opens. The survey was run over one morning, so is indicative only. The results are interesting, recording a high modal share for walking/wheeling and cycling, lower for bus and car than the national survey conducted by ScotRail’s market insight team, see slide 6. The public reaction to the new path was overwhelmingly, and very pleasingly, positive. Out of the people who were local to the area and did not say they lived on the other side of town, 87% said that the new route would be useful to them. Other benefits mentioned by survey respondents included improved feelings of safety at night, a more accessible trip, a shorter route across town, and a safer and more pleasant cycle journey to the station.
Levenmouth new paths & bus station pictures... Network Rail has completed works installing bridges over the Levenmouth railway, which was re-opened to passenger services in 2024. The bridges help connect the stations at Leven and Cameron Bridge. They also form part of a wider active travel and recreational path network, which is a cornerstone of the Levenmouth Reconnected regeneration project. (https://levenmouthreconnected.fife.scot/) In addition, Fife Council is completing a newly re-designed bus station, which integrates with Leven rail station as a wider transport interchange. The rail and bus stations are connected by a path and controlled crossing, utilising a consistent design approach. Scotland’s Railway’swork was led by Claire Bhugowandeen ofthe strategy & investment team. Levenmouth Stations: redesigned bus station and active travel path network 5 Levenmouth Railway : Mountfleurie Bridge and new bus interchange

We've all missed a tiny 16px delete button and hit edit instead. 😅
That's not user error—that's a design failure. ♿
The reality: 24px is the bare minimum. If you want your product to actually work for people, aim for 32px. 🎯
