A crow outside my window just screamed GM at me. 🦅☀️

Regarding accessibility in the built environment, I hadn't thought to consider watches and timepieces, until I found this mention in my Princeton Edunext a11y course - for tactile watches. This watch allows anyone to check the time by just feeling the watch. https://www.eone-time.com/pages/our-story
Over the weekend, I finalized my Claire Silver AI art contest 8 submission, which freed me up to be able to focus on my taxes tonight. I'm quitting Quickbooks, which has proven too spendy for me. Anybody have recommendations for accounting software? ChatGPT told me to try Hurdlr for "easiest automation" and Wave or Zoho Books for "free option".
Inside the Spatial metaverse, listening via X Spaces, to hear panel discussions by women, in celebration of International Women's Day.
The Women in Tech 2025 Showcase is a hybrid event held in the Spatial metaverse and over X spaces on International Women's Day, March 8. It's a day-long summit filled with panel discussions, presentations, and an art gallery. I'm honored to be curated in to this year's gallery. You can pop in anytime on March 8. The @WITMuseum is also crafting a yearbook of the event on Amazon, so all 100 of the amazing women artist's work will be published.

ETH Denver closing ceremony is livestreaming now. I'm watching from home. This is when the Buidlers pitch their projects they made this week. https://www.youtube.com/live/44i4-D3mgIA?si=mfjUCMXNti7YyW7B
At my day job, I'm helping to design the user interface for a web app. I needed to know about best practice in plain language for tooltips, did a search and found a comprehensive article about tooltips in web accessibility. If your job includes designing user interfaces, this'll give lots of "tool" tips and tricks....haha. https://www.a11y-collective.com/blog/tooltips-in-web-accessibility/
Here I am trying to understand how to use and customize the OneHub account that every single artist who submitted art to NFTNYC received by default. They dropped a powerful platform in our laps and I can't find training in my inbox. So I have been searching on my own to learn more about OneHub. Leaving this here for my own easy reference: https://nftnow.com/guides/onehub-guide-nft-artist-community-engagement-revenue/
I am researching for certification as an accessibility professional. I learn of all the assistive tech there is for people with disabilities. Then I wonder how hard it would be to switch my MacBook's main cursor to point as if I were holding my mouse in my left hand. It requires a 3rd party software and is not supported by Apple. And yet there is screen reading tech VoiceOver built into the OS. WHY NOT A LEFTY CURSOR?????
I'm a certified Community Builder! Identify yours now!
I found a resource for Accessible User Experience during my studying. Check this one out, if UX UI is your job. https://www.texthelp.com/resources/digital-accessibility-guide/accessible-ux/
Happy Valentine's Day everyone. I have a collection of animal themed valentine images on Objkt. Super affordable. Go mint some, please. #valentez #valentinesday #aiart #aiartistcommunity
Tomorrow, my 1:20 minute video plus my artwork Strawberry Moon Regalia will be on display for the day-long women's empowerment summit called AWEDACITY. @awedacity Their experience is on the OnCyber metaverse platform and I have a Hub Yolantis there, too.
Digital Mavericks by @debbie arrived at my doorstep today. @thehugxyz #digitalmavericks pre-order delivery.
Today, hours on prelim. taxes. Because I haven't got my "geese" in a row I will be hunting for more receipts and forms. And tonight, more colorways for the cheater quilt on Spoonflower. I should tell you about that on another post when I have three colors of the same pattern online.
I did it! Today I paid for membership in the IAAP which is the International Association of Accessibility Professionals. I'll get a badge soon, and membership benefits include access to their archived knowledge base of webinars so I can better study for certification.
Tonight I was studying for my accessibility professional certification. The numbers tell the story. When I teach a11y, I say the lowest hanging fruit when it comes to making the biggest impact in a11y is color contrast. Why? 300 million people globally have color vision deficiency. Compare this to the 3% of people with epilepsy who have photosensitive epilepsy. That is approx. 1.5 million people. UX strategy for reducing risk of seizure is to limit all flashing media & give a pause/stop button for any autoplay video content. UX strategy for low vision/colorblindess is to ensure proper color contrast ratio in text.
Your takeaway: When starting any UX/UI project, run your color hex codes through a color contrast checker and be the authority for what color text can go on what color background.

Designing with accessibility in mind starts with good color contrast on text. UX designers can pre-make a little reference chart using brand colors at the start of a new project, like my example here. I've done an experiment about what text color we can safely use on the Warpcast purple at different sizes. At headline size, we can use white and grey all the way down to #999999 and pass the WCAG AA standard. However, at normal body copy size, only white can be used.
GM, everyone! My artist name is Yolantis, and I've been working on websites professionally since 2020. I build front-end, do graphics, user interface stuff, and I specialize in accessibility. This is my year to get certified, in fact. Follow along with me as I study for the CPACC, which is 'Certified Professional in Accessibility Core Competencies,' from the IAAP. I have tips and tricks for all you UX researchers and designers interested in accessibility!
GM! just say gm for gm sake. I heard I'm not supposed to let my feed be composed of frame after frame of the stuff I do on Rodeo. This weekend I worked on manual, not AI, digital art and uploaded several patterns on a fabric POD account I've got. Entered a contest for stripes. You know, the usual.
I just found the Art Golden Gai website. https://www.artgoldengai.com/ Very cool site and today Remote Control announced that us winners of the AI Miami and others are getting a second chance at exhibition here in Tokyo this weekend.
Picture of me from a different era; high school era.

GN I am up to mod 4 of Farcaster 101 where @nounishprof explains that starting a post with either gm, gn, or wowow will change the reaction button. So that's how that works...

Ah, thank you so much, Asha! I see my Hudson in the water with her bucket.

I've been coding and doing graphics for websites since 2020. I've had experience at the Federal government and State gov. levels. Both of those entities have requirements for digital accessibility (a11y) in their web products. Feels like I've taken a hundred a11y workshops since 2011. Earned a certificate from W3C in April 2022. Now I feel it's time for professional certification from IAAP. My study journey begins now. Goal: earn that CPACC in March.
