@PepperTheVixen @bemyeyes @AppleVis Funny, that was my responses as well.

I'd love to volunteer for one of these organizations, but as you said, sus.

@bemyeyes @AppleVis Hey, it looks like you have two h1s with the article title that are aria-hidden, and a non-hidden div that contains the title text but isn’t a heading. I really hope you can clean up the accessibility and development practices of your web site. I want to feel encouraged about this news.
