Airports: people aimlessly wandering, abruptly stopping, agglomerating into slow walls of flesh and knee-high wheeled bollards, merging with scattered gawpers spilled out ends of moving sidewalks.

Press, you do not need to say “Women’s World Cup champions”.

French astrophysicist Jean-Pierre Luminet was the first to accurately visualize a black hole. In 1978, he used punch cards to write a computer program calculating the appearance and then reproduced the image by hand using India ink on Canson negative paper http://bit.ly/2UL1ylU

Another feature Mastodon has over Twitter — not appending an AMP query string to links on mobile, forcing me into Google’s closed ecosystem.

“Improving Your Tweet Accessibility”
Never a time not to share this. Applies to Mastodon as well. http://adrianroselli.com/2018/01/improving-your-tweet-accessibility.html

I'll be at #CSUNAT2018 next week, and I'm hoping to do some user testing of Gutenberg, the new #WordPress editor. If you can help, let me know! #a11y

My current travel schedule precludes me from kicking in. Maybe y’all can help?

Hey #a11y experts, #WordPress needs help. We're doing Assistive Technology testing on the new editor #Gutenberg https://make.wordpress.org/accessibility/gutenberg-testing/
Test the plugin. If you need a test environment, DM me in Twitter for an account. WordPress runs 30% of all websites, help safeguard it's a11y!
