People are not static, we are dynamic. In order to meet our needs at any point in our lives or day, the UIs we create must be able to adapt to us — not the other way around....

With everything dark going on in the world, I wanted to pause and offer a little light & beauty: this beautiful blossom growing from the trunk of my plum tree.

So let me get this straight: - Trump admin moves US troops to the Middle East - Trump admin suggests that Israel strike Iran in hopes Iran retaliates and kills US troops in the process - Trump admin "sells" the US on going to war with Iran because of the attack www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

@levelaccess.bsky.social Psst…

I hope future Democrats in power are half as good at finding loopholes to keep pursuing their agenda as the Trump administration has been.

I just hit “publish” on Accessibility Assistant for Figma v52 and I wanted to share some details on why this is a monumental release for us.

So many amazing ideas shared in this rapid-fire episode from @pitchforkeconomics.bsky.social Highly recommend! #economics #affordability #taxes #income player.fm/series/pitch...

What if… instead of becoming sentient and going all “Terminator” on humanity, AI realizes how susceptible we are to propaganda and misinformation and merely convinces us to end ourselves in spectacularly ludicrous ways?

“[P]rogressive enhancement is not about preventing failure, it’s about defining what must always work.”

So proud of the OneCourt team for their work in bringing more leisure opportunities to the Blind & low vision community.

Add repeatable form field groups with automatic numbering and native form participation.

remember when the panama papers came out and we found out every rich person on earth was committing tax fraud and then nothing happened

The arrests of Don Lemon, Georgia Fort, and Jamael Lundy are unacceptable and a clear violation of the Constitution. This is a dangerous abuse of power that threatens the rights of every single American. They must be released immediately.

Today is a day of a national shutdown. Many working in tech are likely afraid of losing their jobs, a reasonable fear. If you can’t take today off, consider alternative actions you might take to show solidarity for those in this country under persecution techcrunch.com/2026/01/26/t...

I looked into Cities Church, which was protested for having an ICE agent as a pastor. You already thought they were right-wing. But they're far worse than you thought. They're ground zero for the "empathy is a sin" idea, among others. www.salon.com/2026/01/26/p...

I know there’s a lot going on right now. Shit’s real heavy & our cortisol levels are peaking like they did in the early days of COVID. But can I, for a moment, just point out that his dude puts his name on more things than my kiddo did when he went to camp? www.subscriptionmembershipsettlement.com

Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process. This is one that stands out: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I think a lot of us get hope wrong. Hope, I do not believe, is an emotion. In fact, hope makes space for lots of emotions to exist alongside it. You can DO hope scared, angry, sad etc... Hope doesn't find us. We make hope through action and struggle. It's a practice of living and is re-made daily.

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

Really impressed with #plexamp tonight. It put together a mix for me that seamlessly transitioned from Sons & Daughters’ “Taste the Last Girl” to “Home is a Fire” by @deathcabforcutie.bsky.social to “You’ll Need a Backseat Driver” by The New Pornographers. #FollowTheGroove Kudos @plex.tv team!

What’s wrong with this picture? An MLK Day visit to the US gov Civil Rights website. Instead of the actual civil rights struggle or Dr King, carousel at top highlights bogus “stop the steal” vendettas, and CTAs below intersperse more of same with white racist talking points. 1/6

A really common user interface pattern is a big clickable area, such as a card. Sometimes you need controls within that card that are also clickable. There's lots of ways to do it wrong, but fret not, @ericwbailey.website is here to show you how to do it right. piccalil.li/blog/accessi...

I still just want to make cool stuff on the internet! And work with my friends and let people have some health insurance and agree with the goddamn reasonable consensus that child sexual abuse material is not only not acceptable, but shouldn’t be part of your business model! I’m normal!

Mind-boggling stuff: ICE has detained 4 Oglala men and is apparently demanding the Lakota--a nation of the continent's original inhabitants--“enter into an immigration agreement with ICE." www.twincities.com/2026/01/13/i...

Made a lil' library: codepen.github.io/slideVars/ Automatically detects CSS custom properties on the :root/html and gives you controls for adjusting them. (But it's also as configurable as you want it to be.)

I also grew up poor and am very fortunate to be in a more comfortable position today. I grew up Catholic, but drifted away from organized religion in my 20s. Still, the idea that “to whom much is given, much will be required” stuck with me. Or, as Nina says, “we lift as we climb.” This. 100% 👇🏻

I’m not anti-wealth. I grew up poor and wish it on no one. What I, and most Americans, take issue with is a handful of people holding SO much wealth while Americans go bankrupt if they get cancer and working class people struggle to get by every month. It’s greed.
