great quote from @vale

You Can't Opt-Out of Accessibility

Shiny exclusion all the way down.

Hard to believe this is the 50th long-form post on Vale.Rocks. Absolutely wild number.

A rant in the face of the industry’s continued neglect and outright hostility towards digital accessibility and care for users.

And now, without further ado…

Your author is an idiot. You thought them sharp and quick.

But then they spoke of facts you know and outed themselves a prick.

No one is immune from change. One of my major clients is restructuring and won't be requiring my services so I'm on the hunt for work.

About me: I'm a freelancing web designer/developer with experience in #wordpress (incl. #Elementor), #Shopify and #Eleventy. I very much enjoy working with #HTML and #CSS, and designing in #Figma.

I'm based in Australia working with clients worldwide, looking for individual projects or ongoing agency contract work. Happy to share portfolio examples if you're interested.

Since I Left You by The Avalanches remains one of the most beautiful albums I’ve ever listened to.

The pure depth of sound is amazing. So many layers of exquisite samples creating an air of anemoia and melancholy. A truly transcendent experience.

Listen to the Zomba promo version, which includes samples that were later removed for legal reasons, if you can.

Knocking off for the day after adding some ‘pop’ with filter: saturate(10); and making the app ‘more dynamic and interactive’ by slapping * { transition: all 0.25s ease-in-out; } into the stylesheet.

I read a fun little post by @susam on building a Markov model with one’s own writing, so I did it with everything I’ve written on Vale.Rocks.

Good fun! Very fascinating output.
