The alt-tag rules really aren’t that complicated. 4.5:1 contrast also isn’t really difficult to achieve either (unless your designers are total jerks). There are fairly significant differences between 1-state and 2-state screen readers. They have different behaviours but for the most part HTML5 takes care of a lot…

Yeah, why should a musician pay any attention to those pesky blind folk who get most of their entertainment through their ears!!??

There are ways to pay for it, remove tax cuts for the wealthy, raise taxes on corps and the money hoarding rich. Drop the military budget by a few percentage points, get rid of Fossil Fuel subsidies. Shes not a radical, she wants action on things that we have just been sitting on for decades.

This is disingenuous at best. Some programs, like medicare for all and Green New Deal absolutely cost money but also save/prevent costs on the back end. An aggressive program to stem the tide of climate change costs money but also prevents costs later on. You change your oil in your car - you do it on CREDIT if you…

You realize the climate threat is on par with what Lincoln and FDR did? Like there aren’t equal because they’re all different, but in terms of scope and necessity, the New Green Deal is vitally important.

So guy who refused to apologise and has done nothing to show how contrite he is since, like working with a single LGBT+ organisation, gets the thumbs up from someone who is about to get ratings gold from his appearance on her show...

Boo! Do not want!

The only winning move is to never play their “prove it!/Debate me!” game. block them, mute them, silence them, kick them out, and never give them what they want.

It’s crazy to me that video games have somehow become merged in the mind of the average neckbeard as an activity representing “manliness.” You might shoot terrorists in a game, you might ride a horse or chop wood or save princesses or smack prostitues, these acts all fall under the ugly umbrella of perceived masculine…

Ellie is one of very few women in Blizzard’s Overwatch Contenders league, and some fans speculated that she could be any number of notable male players impersonating a woman.

Esports is not a meritocracy; it’s a male-dominated scene in which gender essentialism runs rampant, and in which women are often made to feel unwelcome.

Bernie Bros who hated Hillary with a misogynistic furor created a sexually hostile work environment?

Maybe refer them to groups that are there to help with domestic violence situations?

Possibly better police training and harsher punishment when it comes to electronic harassment / cyber stalking? Special police task forces to investigate cases of harassment and protect victims? Looks like Utah has laws against cyberstalking, but like you said, is there really such thing as a “deterrent” to someone…

Usually a short face to face conversation with the perp is all it takes. Just to let them know they are being watched and are known to the police.

Here are nine things we could buy for $5 billion instead of a border wall (from CommonDreams.org):

This is like collecting hard data to verify that the sky is blue. The data is superfluous.  The utility of this data is completely dependent on whether Twitter is willing to use this data to improve.  

Honestly, this seems like exactly the sort of tone I would expect at Jezebel: snarky, bafflingly opaque if you don’t know what they’re talking about, and dismissing something even while bringing it to your attention.

Right? It feels way to soon to have this kind of dismissive tone about it.
