#A11y question of the day: why do people make up ARIA roles?

There are literally lists you can consult if you are not sure... like this one from W3C https://www.w3.org/TR/html-aria or MDN docs https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Roles

I just encountered the following code from a popular design system:
<div aria-label="aria-label example" role="information banner">

ARIA role of "banner" is a thing, but "information" is not. What happens when an AT user encounters this mess?

I guess I need to do this. The math works out that for the next few years I'm simply not making enough money and I'm already dangerously close to burning out so hard I may not be able to keep my job. I'm holding on for now but I need help, plain and simple.

Boost if you are:

* A furry

* A cryptid
* 25 small creatures in a trenchcoat
* Beautiful, unique and amazing
* So horny you can barely stand it

Nobody will ever know which one.

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth !

Not ready to talk about Black History. Still talking about white US history.

Q: Why are Black neighborhoods so often high crime neighborhoods? Must be a lawless people! Violent! Thieves! Predators!

A: There is no such thing as a "high crime neighborhood." The whole concept is entirely made up based on our notion of what we consider a crime.

You may be thinking:🤔 Wait... What?! Not true! A high crime neighborhood has more drug use and sales, theft, and even murder!
