  • Accessibility Committee

    In the October Accessibility Standards & Compliance meeting, the committee shared that the accessibility annotation guidelines for UX designers are now published in the Bolt Design System documentation site. The group also identified the next step: creating accessibility guidance for Bolt components, including principles, usage notes, and dos and don’ts that community members can help shape. The meeting also included a community Q&A on single-key shortcuts in Thunderbird Desktop. The main outcome was agreement that shortcut behavior needs clearer guidance, a fuller inventory of existing shortcuts, and more discussion on how Thunderbird can better support users who rely on assistive technology.

  • Matcha and cancer: what the new research shows

    New research suggests matcha may help shrink tumors and limit how far cancer spreads, especially in aggressive breast cancers.

    It's early, and it's not a treatment. But I love seeing a simple, real drink get studied like this.

    One catch. The sweet matcha lattes at the coffee shop are loaded with sugar. Plain matcha with nothing added is the version worth talking about.

    • Off insulin in 75 days with type 1 diabetes

      A stem cell treatment took a person with type 1 diabetes from daily insulin shots to no insulin in 75 days.

      Type 1 is different from what I had. In type 1 the body attacks the cells that make insulin, so real food and fewer carbs can't bring those cells back. That's why this research matters to me. It's early, but it's a real step.

      I reversed my type 2 with food and the way I live. Type 1 folks haven't had that option. I hope this keeps going.

    • Internet Explorer is DEAD, then Google Made Things Worse

      Internet Explorer! Thought it was dead? Think again. It's still a zombie, but even that will come to and end in a couple of years. We use this as a springboard to talk about Orion and Servo, and take a few shots at Google because they deserve it 😉

      Use Firefox, folks!

      PS. Orion for Linux was very much alive when we recorded this... it is now dead on Linux. RIP Orion, too. We'll cover this soon.

      Internet Explorer is dying... in 3 years

    • Insulin resistance and your brain

      Your brain runs on insulin too. It helps brain cells take in fuel and keep their connections healthy.

      When your cells stop listening to insulin, the problem doesn't stay in your blood sugar. Research has tied insulin resistance to memory loss and Alzheimer's. Some scientists have started calling Alzheimer's "type 3 diabetes."

      That one hit home for me. The same things that keep my blood sugar boring (real food, way fewer carbs, a walk after meals and decent sleep) are what keep insulin working the way it should. I'd rather protect my brain now than wonder about it later.
