There really does come a point where no matter what/how you try, your bodymind just can’t keep grinding. This is the most burned out I’ve ever felt and it’s happened a lot. The brain fog is wild. It just won’t do what I need it to!

They literally shutdown AWS Middle East region by hitting the data center.

I’ve been reading lips my whole life and I wonder if I’m better at detecting AI videos when it shows faces/talking

Are you using AI to generate inaccessible <div> soup? It takes a bit more than "role" and "tabindex" to build an ARIA link. Or just use <a> elements! Video shows the feed links are reachable with a keyboard, but only "More feeds" can be activated with ENTER. bsky.app/profile/jay....

This is way too many elements with aria-label. Some of them overwrite the visible text! 😬 bsky.app/profile/jay....

🚨 Call to action 🚨 Tell the Federal Government Not to Change the Title II Accessibility Regulations: www.lflegal.com/2026/03/titl.... Deadline’s been known 2 years. Rule was deliberated for over a decade. #ADA & #WCAG have been around forever. There’s no reason to change the rule! #A11y #Resist

I ran one set of automated accessibility tests. Yeah... "made with AI" definitely tracks.

TIL that Doctorow was talking shit about Audre Lorde (in the same way that y'all fave at Techdirt did on that podcast):

Q for neurodivergent writers: how tf do you write about anything when your thoughts could change on it tomorrow? Is that like an assumed stance neurotyoical writers have by default?

There’s nothing like losing one of your main parental figures. And there’s not much like having a spouse who regularly wipes your tears throughout it. Feeling so much grief and love at the same time is … I don’t quite know how to put it into words.

Has anyone done “live laugh lexapro” but for duloxetine/cymbalta? 😂

Conceptually I understand the idea behind writing the things you want to read. At the same time I do not understand how to whittle my interests down into something coherent/focused. Too many thoughts and connections going at once! Then I rabbit hole into something else and forget the OG.

I lived in rural Hendricks County 10+ years near Lebanon. No light pollution was amazing. Now-husband & I fell asleep under a meteor shower after our 1st date. Meta’s enormous data center campus construction is round the clock & disrupting peace, sleep, star gazing. www.wthr.com/article/news...

Guess who's a new W3C Invited Expert?? www.w3.org/groups/wg/ag... I'm participating in the Accessibility Guidelines Working Group (AGWG) and the Sign Language subgroup for WCAG 3! 🥰

this is surely a cry for help from the grocery store employees

I opened this book to look for a page to add context to this post and…. just the index of words under eugenics alone…

I hate to drag this out even further but I really, REALLY need people to know that SEVERAL eugenicists published a significant number of works in publications with "science" in the name. One of the journals was literally just called "Science."

I wish Zotero's in-document search accounted for hyphenated versions of words... because when I highlight those same words, the hyphen is removed in the annotation! Surely it can include these in search results, right? 😭

Aimi Hamraie's "Building Access: Universal Design and the Politics of Disability" is probably one of the most important books I've ever read. I highly, highly recommend it. www.upress.umn.edu/978151790164...

A decade ago, I did make a reading list to help scientists get started! 🧪 medium.com/@chanda/deco...

This is what AI/LLMs taking jobs will actually be in practice. Zoom meetings are scanned? Some’ll stop hosting them and stop allowing remote work.

I played soccer for half of my life and this is just wild! Over 130km/h which is over 80mph. Maybe always being too terrified to play goalie was good for my health 😂

If you aren’t posting like Weird Al, wtf are you doing??! Use alt text 😍

Thread of me saying "these hands 🖕🏻🖕🏻" to sparkly, bs UI clutter (mostly google's) #1 🧵 bsky.app/profile/ashl...

That feeling when you're reading a scholarly work, come across an interesting citation, search for it in your collection just in case you have it, and you do!! 😍

Accomplishing something big, then thinking, “She would be so proud of me,” makes me teary. She would be so, so proud of me. 🥺🥹❤️‍🩹

DAMN I think I hurt it again but worse and I was only bending over to pick up my laptop 😭

Y’all…I just…the growing antisemitism on the left and the acceptance of it. The way people shrugged and ignored the synagogue attack. The way people made excuses. The endless Platner shit. The way y’all warp and defend Jew hate. The way you don’t even see yourselves doing it. It’s eating me alive.

The level of casual antisemitism on the left is becoming extremely problematic. It needs to stop. We cannot tolerate it at all.

In the time I was away from consulting and contracting through my business, I forgot *just* how much I love strategizing and collaborating through accessibility audits! March is going much better than January and February 😍

Vercel's updating their Terms of Service and Privacy Policy and it's gross so I'm gonna go finally remove all my leftover shit from there expeditiously

yet again, we are lacking on comms. your REAL ID does not make you eligible to vote under the SAVE act

Welp now I’m really never using that thing again

“It’s worth noting that the current nominee for the U.S. Surgeon General, Casey Means, is the co-founder of a company that provides continuous glucose monitors and other health trackers to clients.“

Haven't used VoiceOver on my older Mac in a while, so of course Safari has to make it difficult for no reason at all

Gonna hold on to this croissant metaphor for the rest of my creative life

Dear disabled friends, For your own sake, anticipate many self-proclaimed “progressives” agreeing with the sentiment. Trump’s comments alone are vile and enraging. Please be mindful of your spoons before engaging with anyone agreeing.

For the Oscars inclined: a little thing I wrote for @pbs.org about deaf history in film, featuring Marlee Matlin, the first Deaf person to win the award (and youngest woman to win Best Actress): www.pbs.org/wnet/america...

“I feel somewhat embarrassed to admit how tempting this is.” You should. “In our culture, preferring an algorithm to a trainee feels like a betrayal of the academic mission.” It is.

“The only way to apply for exemptions is via email” *Insert butterfly meme* Is government efficiency?

‘Like enterprise zones free from the restrictions of long, arduous governance deliberation’ Meaning quite clearly: free of faculty and staff governance. They want to run universities like sweat shops and would really like it if the faculty would shut the fuck up

What an incredible world we live in where bibliographies and works cited and references lists allow us to skip back and forth between dozens of brilliant works. When I let it flow, my ADHD brain loves this dance. Highlighting phrases that *move* me, writing down quotes, making connections.

Guess who finally has the motivation to do some office cleaning when she can’t actually do it 🙃

The US has historically had a particularly strong hatred of brown and Black disabled people; and has normalized, encouraged and accelerated discrimination and violence against us, and the ICE/Trump era has only turbo charged the underlying racism, ableism and xenophobia

Guess who threw out her back because she’s hypermobile and has to manually engage her core but forgot to this time while she and her husband moved a king sized purple mattress to the floor so their senior three-legged dog doesn’t have to jump up and down while he has a boo-boo with one of his legs
