Welcome to The Folly Times, where we believe everyone should be able to access fake news with real conviction — including folks using screen readers, keyboard-only navigation, or trying to browse from a microwave with a touchscreen.
We are dead serious about accessibility, even if our headlines aren’t.
Our Commitment
We are committed to making our site accessible to as many humans (and at least one raccoon we suspect is using assistive technology) as possible.
We aim to conform to WCAG 2.1 Level AA, which is just fancy acronym-speak for “making the internet suck less for everyone.”
Where We Stand
As of our most recent audit (which was totally a real thing and not just one of our writers yelling “Can you tab to that?”), we are partially conformant. This means:
- Most core content is accessible.
- Some images may lack meaningful alt text, especially if we were laughing too hard to type it.
- Occasional layout gremlins may appear, especially on smart watches, old toasters, or Internet Explorer (RIP).
Known Limitations
We’re still working on:
- Captioning videos that don’t yet exist.
- Making dropdown menus play nicely with screen readers instead of acting like emotionally unavailable exes.
- Preventing modals from jumping out like uninvited party guests.

📞 Call us: We’d give you a number, but it would just be forwarded to someone asleep in a beanbag chair.
Feedback Welcome
We genuinely want to improve. If you spot a problem, we’ll do our best to fix it before the next breaking non-news cycle.
Also, if you email us about it, we’ll think you’re a hero. A digital justice warrior, if you will.
