The recent ICE raid which emptied an entire apartment building was apparently at the request of Wells Fargo, which is trying to foreclose on the building.

The building is in a 27 million dollar foreclosure filed by Wells Fargo. The next day, Wells Fargo filed an emergency motion for receivership. The fascist regime kindly emptied the building for donor Wells Fargo.

"Since this new administration took office, the unemployment rate for people with disabilities has increased at triple the normal rate of unemployment."

For National Disability Employment Awareness Month at @motherjones.com, I spoke to four disabled federal workers who were laid off about how their old jobs were very accessible—and what the federal government loses out on by having fewer disabled employees. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The human costs of Trump's war on government

For many disabled workers, federal jobs were decent, human, and accommodating: everything the president hates.

Listen to marginalized people who raise the smokes and flags. It’s for good reason. Lesson of the day.

Sometimes people warn cause they know patterns.

A deep, well-researched & cited piece detailing systemic failures down the web stack (standards bodies, browsers vendors, etc) which marginalize #accessibility and its voices — but with proposed solutions.

Blog images and routing once deployed without moving into /public, it’s weird

Mostly that I used to work there and gave up on upgrading long ago, so I’d rather change platforms at this point! Not really into the Gatsby architecture anymore personally

Moving my Gatsby site to @astro.build has been pretty smooth so far, except for one thing: blog images! So I asked my buddy @jason.energy for help, since we worked together when I built the original site. We're going to stream a work session next Thursday, 10/9 on @codetv.dev at 9:30am Pacific!

I know it is the least sexy thing in the world, but yet again I am asking the youngs to educate themselves about high blood pressure. If it can take out one of the world's greatest dancers like Tina Turner, it can also take you out.

Not really for HTML or CSS. I use it for broad strokes ideas and writing some automated tests. But there is some throwaway work which sucks

I’m writing a talk for @perfnow and realizing I could use new professional headshots. How about in Amsterdam while we’re there for my talk, so we can get family photos taken at the same time? If anyone has photographer recommendations for the end of October, I’d super appreciate it!

Haha fun times moderating a tech community where people ever love AI or hate it, and I “get” to referee

AI fans always seem puzzled why some people have a revulsion to AI and one issue is the people in charge of AI are repulsive
