From @lflegal.bsky.social ’s CSUNATC, a reminder that if you feel like you aren’t able to push back on the illegal actions of this administration:
“Staying the accessibility course is resistance right now.”

"Using a mobility aid is not “giving up.“

Using a shower bench is not “lazy.”

Using a ramp is not for “disabled people only.”

Normalizing and not shaming people for using accessibility features reduces the stigma surrounding them. "- Misa on Wheels

Respect to the sales rep who I drunkenly cold called 2 years ago because we wanted to know how much a mini street sweeper cost, and who has been trying to sell me a street sweeper ever since. He knows Philadelphia needs a sweep and that man emailed me first thing in the morning lmao

I wouldn’t let people crawling back to twitter take up your mental energy. They’ve made their bed and their yearning for “engagement” or whatever else justifies their decision to be on the nazi place is their problem.

Just make sure you feel good about yourself for not doing that. I know I do.

"When talking or working with autistic people, don't treat our clarifying questions as a challenge to your authority.

They're just questions so we don't misunderstand. It's horrible to misunderstand all the time.

That's it."

This is why we have captioning best practices. You'll never make 100% of the viewers happy. Instead, you can make the majority happy when you follow best practices. And that's not Hormozi / dynamic captions. https://buff.ly/4fXYFEA

"Excuse me, but I think YOU TRACKING AND STORING MY PASSWORD HISTORY IS A BIGGER FUCKING SECURITY ISSUE THAN ME USING THE SAME UNBREACHED PASSWORD MORE THAN ONCE"

there's a slice of history for design portfolios where folks were put on trying to make Google Glass look good and I wonder how many LLM-based features will be the same in ~10 years

Don't assume maximalist outcomes for the Trump administration. That's a form of psychological surrender. We should attempt to exploit every stumble, failure, and misstep, and there will be stumbles, failures, and missteps.

Making the clarion call for book research: I'm looking to interview #ActuallyAutistic LGBTQ+ people to ask how their gender identity intersects with their autism. Let me know if you'd be interested in speaking. [email protected].

After tumblr died but before it was declared dead*, the site became mostly a Pig Wrestling** platform.

* Tumblr is actually very much alive and quite cool now.
** As in the old adage, Never wrestle with a pig. You get dirty and the pig likes it.

Anyway, twitter has entered its Pig Wrestling Era.

Like and repost if your club is top of the league!! 🟡🔵
