Hi Folks, I made a calculator website with accessibility at heart with help of AI. This website has finance utilities and some math utilities. Kindly check the site and provide your feedback. URL: www.savvycalcs.com Thanks 🙏🏾 #a11y #accessibility

The Internet is truly dying. I don't wanna use Twitter, I don't wanna use GitHub, I don't wanna use YouTube, I don't wanna use any of the websites I used to use regularly. I have no place to go. The Internet feels like giant wasteland...

I haven't had such a great time watching linguistics singing and dancing since last year's "I put the glamour/back into grammar" video

we just finished a huge project: all of the paid zines at wizardzines.com now have a transcript for screen reader users!!! If you bought a previous version of the zines and don't have the transcript, you can email us at support@wizardzines.com to get it. More here: wizardzines.com/accessibility/

Since I've somehow become a relatively popular person, I had a privilege to observe human behavior on a decent scale. One thing I noticed is that when people criticize me they are often talking about themselves. So yeah, criticize me and I'll tell you who you are, I guess. :)

Me taking a break after an entire day of fixing a bug in the legacy codebase

Just caught a pretty nasty bug in my software renderer with clang -fsanitize=undefined. Who needs Rust really? Learn clang sanitizers - they are awesome!

FMLA is a good start but not enough. Isn’t the US supposed to be the richest part of the way. So many disabled people could work if leave was available. It also needs to be illegal to retaliate when an employee takes leave (I know that exists for FMLA). #chronicillness #disability

Nearly 49% of adults with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) in the U.S. aren't receiving treatment, despite MDD being the leading cause of disability worldwide. It's time to break the stigma and prioritize mental health. #MentalHealthAwareness #DepressionStats

Just to set the record straight. No sick or #disabled person is raking in >£35k/year on benefits. The disinformation and demonisation campaigns against us in the press must stop.

Pleased to see my review in BMCMedicine - adults with intellectual disability experience health inequality when it comes to medication for pain or painful conditions. More info on my PhD project can be found at SLDO web page bit.ly/3ZwVH4f

petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70... #Disability I ask everyone on this # to support a terminally ill man trying to change the law for a second time,this affects everyone as anyone at anytime can get that devastating news.Do yo really want to fight to get your benefits

If they make it harder to claim sickness and disability benefits. More vulnerable people will die. We are governed by psychopaths.

Learn to show love not hate.🙌

I dislike the word "follower" in SM. I talk to people, I discuss, sometimes I argue, etc. But I'm not a "follower". Same with my "followers" - you talk to me, read me, but would you say you (literally) "follow" me? Is it only me who think this word is ridiculous in this context?

Facts matter. Science saves lives. Anti-science destroys them.

Hey! Today I'm giving a talk about #raylib in Barcelona! I made the presentation using my own in-house interactive-screens-creation tool, where every "slide" is an interactive screen! Unlocking creativity! 🚀

Hey. The fragmentation of the social media landscape has been hard on indie #scicomm 🧪 projects So if you'd like to follow a podcast that's enthusiastic about #linguistics, could you check out @lingthusiasm.bsky.social? And if you think your followers might like to, could you give this a repost?

JetBrains just merged my contribution to the Kotlin standard library. It's a rewrite of String.toFloatOrNull() to eliminate all allocations (~940 per call!) and go 225x faster on a Pixel 6. If you want to see how it was done: github.com/JetBrains/ko... tl;dr regex out, hand-written parser in

This is another example of disabled people being the proverbial canaries in the coal mine. We’ve been screaming for years about the dangers of supply chain issues and medication shortages. 🧵 on tariffs, income inequality and disability rights

In light of CRPS awareness month, I would like to use this hateful message I recieved as an opportunity to share a little about what the condition is because it's uncommon enough most people don't know. #CRPS #disability #fighthate #CRPSawarenessmonth
