I’ll be at #CSUN from Thursday afternoon through Friday this week! Come say hi. Friday morning I’ll be doing a talk with Andrew Hedges on continuous #accessibility, so check that out. And if you’ve read my book The Accessiblity Operations Guidebook, ask me for a sticker. 💚

I hope to see you tonight!

Check out this (free!) talk I’m doing with @segdeha.com in February, hosted by @pdxa11yux.bsky.social !

Looking forward to this!

Me (chronically ill): I’m just going to lie down and put on a quiet video while I try to head off this migraine Also me (ADHD): Now would be a great time to look for live bootlegs of Refused songs from the late 90s

Global disability discussions, with everything from friendship and health to the tightrope of disability community. With @francesryan.bsky.social, @thetattooedjew.com @johnharris1969.bsky.social @inclusioneurope.bsky.social @afropersonnage.ch @devonpersing.bsky.social @blondehistorian.bsky.social

I'm so glad to finally be able to tell you about this book, which I had the privilege of reading early! It's the resource I've always wanted to point to when I get asked questions about doing user research with disabled folks. www.smashingmagazine.com/printed-book...

Something I wish liberals - and, for that matter, a lot of leftists - would internalize: The goal is not to out-argue, disprove, fact-check, debate, or point out the inconsistencies or hypocrisies of fascists. The goal is to defeat them.

As an autistic trans person, this has been clear to me for a long time. These people are extremely uncomfortable with happy, weird little guys existing.

Craft is something they are trying to take from you. Do not let them. Hold it with clawing fingers tightly against your beating heart and do not let it wilt.

Thanks be to sanitation workers and others who are literally keeping us alive while our infrastructure collapses. 💚

Apple’s ‘liquid glass’ contrast hilarity is now a bullet on my post “I Don’t Care What Google or Apple or Whoever Did” adrianroselli.com/2020/03/i-do... Please please PLEASE do not copy Aero, er, Glass in your Figmas. #accessibility #a11y #UX

I'm so scared of cities. All those buildings so close to each other. You can go to the movie theater and a restaurant and the park while walking, in defiance of God. There are people you haven't met before. Sometimes there's a dog in a jacket

Tech companies will tell you to not bring politics to work. Then do this. Airbnb is spending $1M in ads to attack opponents of Cuomo for not supporting short-term rentals. Whether you're pro or anti-Airbnb, they shouldn't influence elections. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

Not sure who at the CSS working group was responsible for making Dark Reader in Firefox trigger Nightmare Party Mode?

40 years ago on this date, police dropped a bomb on a West Philadelphia neighborhood

Later this month, A11ySea is hosting a virtual book discussion with yours truly. Come say hi! www.meetup.com/a11ysea/even...

Things that help me self-regulate in the midst of fascism, eugenics, and late-stage capitalism: arts and crafts, mutual aid with neighbors, giving myself rest, wearing what I want, enjoying food.

Shell is dynamite and this #accessibility design course is going to be amazing.

When I opened my email today, I certainly wasn't expecting to discover that @scottohara.me had written a Fight Club-themed article about popovers. www.scottohara.me/blog/2025/03...

If you'd like to attend this workshop but don't have the cash, I've got the opportunity to sponsor a student! Feel free to DM me and I can get you signed up or share a checkout code. 💚

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.” #a11y #accessibility

The unholy alliance between big tech and the conservative legal movement. It’s explicitly pronatalist and regressive

BREAKING: Hundreds of Jews and allies have taken over Trump Tower chanting “We want justice, you say how. Bring Mahmoud home now!” and “Fight Nazis, not students.” The civil disobedience is spawned by the ICE arrest of Palestinian student Mahmoud Khalil.

In April I’ll be teaching my two-part #accessibility workshop for the School of Visual Concepts! Join me over Zoom for two half-day sessions about digital standards, accessible UX, and getting your team or org started with inclusive work. www.svcseattle.com/accessibility

If you’re at Tech Access Oklahoma this week, come say hi! I’ve got a few copies of my book to give away and some stickers if you want’em. 💚

This made me tune out significantly and left such a bad taste in my mouth. A keynote talk called The State of Accessibility should not be an advertisement for "100% Automated AI Accessibility Testing".

I gotta be honest. This feels horrible #axecon.

In May I'll be at @uxlx.bsky.social ! Come join me for a half-day accessibility operations workshop or swing by for a talk on #accessible design patterns.

Love how Washington and Oregon are not on this list. Y’all sanctuary states or nah?

Free and online: On February 27th I'll be doing a session about the digital #accessibility legal landscape at the Axe-Con Accessibility conference. Session page with link to register: www.deque.com/axe-con/sess... #a11y #disability
