Given the popularity of third-party clients in the #a11y community, this will probably result in the death (or at least significant erosion) of blind Twitter. If it all crashes and burns, I’m on Mastodon at bill@n6.io
Starting February 9, we will no longer support free access to the Twitter API, both v2 and v1.1. A paid basic tier will be available instead 🧵

Transferwise (great & memorable brand) -> Wise (what? why?) HBO Max (great & memorable brand) -> max (what? why?) Why do great & memorable brands keep sabotaging themselves by removing the part of their name that made them memorable?
If you’re autistic and looking for a job, don’t be afraid to apply for roles you like but don’t meet all - or even most - of the requirements for. Job specs are not meant to be taken literally; NT people often apply for and secure jobs meeting only a fraction of the requirements.
One of the best things you can do for autistic people is explaining why. Why you’d like us to do a thing (X way); why something isn’t possible; why you’re upset with us; etc. We may not intuit the “why”, and knowing it helps us to contextualise and act with purpose and direction.
if it weren’t so horrifically harmful, the basic premise of ABA / conversion therapy would make me laugh your solution to someone’s discomfort is to…force them to pretend they are not uncomfortable? what?
The 2023 WebAIM Million report is now available - webaim.org/projects/milli… Home pages had 50 detectable errors (down from 50.8). WCAG failures were found on 96.3% of pages (down from 96.8%). Home page elements increased 10% and ARIA attributes 29% (77 per page!) in the last year.
This will be the end of third-party clients, which means the end of convenient access to Twitter for many of us. If you're somehow still not on Mastodon, you should really fix that.
Today we are launching our new Twitter API access tiers! We’re excited to share more details about our self-serve access. 🧵
There’s even been research into harbinger postal codes…
There is a group of consumers that is drawn to products that flop. In consumer research they are known as ‘harbingers of failure’. If they are fans of a new product, companies know it likely won’t be a success.
