This headline though ... #AltText is not only NOT an #SEO feature of the web, it should only ever be used to describe the purpose of the image for people who can't see it.

Any SEO benefits come way down the list of priorities. Never, ever stuff alt attributes with keywords.

It will be profoundly counterproductive in the long run.

Search Engine Journal · Google Confirms Alt Text Is Not Primarily An SEO DecisionGoogle's John Mueller explains how alt text decisions should be made, explaining it's not primarily about SEO

I need to get out on a quadricycle ride, but first:

Accessibility isn't about "compliance". ADA is the floor, not the ceiling (and is US-only)

We have to be about anti-ableist culture.

We have to have a culture where we don't need a law to compel compliance because we actually give a shit about ourselves and other people.

Whatever decisions you're making, make them accessible ones. If you don't know how, the net has a lot of writings by disabled ppl. #a11y #Accessibility @disability

Well, my third attempt to join the #Blind Institute of Technology’s Digital #Accessibility Analyst Program was unsuccessful. the people who are accepted are probably so amazing they don't actually need the course! LOL Oh well. I'm going to try one more time, and hopefully they will have hired another instructor by then so they can accommodate more students.

I finally got my company to move towards getting our app AA certified for #a11y. It's going to be a long process tbh.

Anyone have a consultant that can perform an audit?
