Now is a good time to see
About accessibility
To test my setup and see how it runs
And just to make things even more for fun
To live tweet on Twitter
And find all of the things I forgot to consider
Again if this thread is not to your taste,
You do not need to let your time go waste
Mute this Convo, and then move along
And don't watch for all that I find is wrong
The first thing that I note is pretty clear
I switch between my hands and voice a lot
Sometimes it's easier to say commands
Sometimes it's easier to type out a thought
It breaks my train of thought
When Twitter does not append
The latest tweet to the bottom
The minute I press send

I have to go searching
For the tweet I just wrote
This is hard on my brain
I want a sad face emote

But searching for one is another distraction
But now that I find
That little plus icon
In the lower left corner
That lets me repeat
Another tweet

And append
At the end
A brand new text box
Which is what I wanted
So paying attention
To this irritation
Let me fix the problem
And get on with creation
But not quite precisely
Because it doesn't yet publish
The tweets when I finish
So it's kind of a flub–ish

I still have to push
The button tweet all
Which breaks up my thought
Anyhow
Not quite what I want
But it's OK for now
And I have more things to do
And more things to find
So after I tweet
I must hit refresh
To see the last tweet(s)
That just doesn’t mesh
With how my brain works

I wonder if the app
Does it any better
I can start it downloading
And test it to see
Butwhat I really need
Is a way to simply manufacturer some gif
to show what I mean
Although writing with words
does put the problem quite cleanly
I want to make gifs of such thing so routinely
To show what I did and where I have been
It's time to put some effort in
To learn
Butwhat I really need

Although writing with words

It's time to put some effort in
To learn
And, because Twitter is a jerk,
I lost 10 tweets of work.

Sigh.

A thread of poetry unsaved
But this is why I’m testing out
Systems to see if they work or not
To make my flow go better

And this is a nonstarter.

But wait, I say
Is there a way
To tell me my alt-text’s ok?

Yep! The tool you seek
Is there under
“Sufficient technique.”
Pick a technique
Fitting your case best
And check it with the
provided tests.

“at the bottom of the section, see,
Your failing case. Specifically:”

Failure of Success Criterion 1.1.1 due to omitting the alt attribute or text alternative on img elements, area elements, and input elements of type "image"

#AccessibleCoffee #WCAG
Shall I consult this specification
For techniques for my situation?

Oh hey. What’s in section 1.1.1 Sufficient Techniques: Situation A?

“If a short description can serve the same purpose and present the same information as the non-text content”

I’m having a coffee and wondering how to invite everyone I possibly can to share this momentous occasion.

Let me see how far the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines will take me.

#AccessibleCoffee
If I let myself get all caught up
In how much there is to ask
And do to include everyone
I’ll never start this task.

I likely won’t get everyone,
But I can include a lot
So in place of wondering why do this,
I ask myself, why not?

#AccessibleCoffee #WCAG
One thing to help my brain work sweet

Is to break this into bite-size tweets

So with this new bot that I bought,
I hope I won't lose more of my thoughts
In theory, this next tweet’s in thread.
Let’s test it and see if we’re ahead.
It worked. I am replying and rhyming
No more frustrating losing my timing
I will no longer be losing my place
And having to make angry face

Now back to learning how to GIF
