I am quite delayed in learning of Molly Holzschlag's passing. What great memories I have of her energy and passion for the web and accessibility. I'll always smile when I think of our "A Mormon, a Jew, and a blind guy walk into a bar" experience at CSUN many years ago.

It was an amazing night to watch the Northern Lights from here in Northern Utah. #aurora

My son and I stand in silhouette on railroad tracks as we watch the green bands of Northern Lights on the distant horizon. Purple and gold glowing bands extend above high into the night sky.

Purple and pink glowing bands extend above a bright lime green glow on the horizon. Houses are visible in the foreground. A Lyrid meteor is visible streaking across the sky in the top right.

A dull green glow appears over the distant hills with strong bands of pink and purple extending above into the night sky.

Wow! @aardrian's Overlays Underwhelm #ID24 session is the best takedown of overlays I've heard or seen. It's well-researched and extremely thorough! youtube.com/watch?v=c-effk…

I’m crunching data for this year’s WebAIM Million report. One web page set a new record for number of detected errors - 68826! Ironically, it’s the @WHATWG HTML standard document. 🤦🏻‍♂️
