My desire to break/hack the AI job interviewer will always be stronger than my desire to land the job.

Imagine doubling down when your coworker asks you to stop using the company ChatGPT account for 50 shades of Gray porn. Though I can't help but laugh that it started calling everyone 'baby girl'

I finally get to announce that I wrote a chapter for the upcoming book titled “Digital Accessibility Ethics: Disability Inclusion in All Things Tech." The book will be published on March 26, 2026, and is available for pre-order #DigitalAccessibilityEthics #Ethics #accessibility #Disabilit

I didn't know you needed a literal PhD to work at Waffle House. I probably would crash out after an hour.

I fucking did! After two hours of errors I deployed and my app is live!!!! I'm never doing backend shit again. All you backend devs get my utmost respect.

😑 My face right now because I need to deploy my web app to the web but the last time I used either AWS or Firebase I literally had an instructor helping me figure everything out.. I'll get it done as I can't ask everyone to come to my house so I can run it locally.

Waking up this morning and tapping the sign

Dominique Deveraux (cat) needs to be kept in Fancy Feast and Kitty Charcuterie boxes (yes, they do exist) so I am making myself available for freelance work. Also I need to keep busy so the devil doesn't play with my hands.

Toxoplasmosis in most people just causes flu-like symptoms. But for those pregnant and withweakened immune systems it can cause seizures and birth defects. Also eye infections that can lead to blindness which is why I only have one that is functional. The other was infected while I was in the womb.

5 years ago, I picked up the first edition of Inclusive Design for a Digital World. I reached out to @rejinae.bsky.social to tell her how much I appreciated her book. Never imagined she would become a great friend and mentor. Also that I would be a technical reviewer on the second edition.

The New York Times opinion page isn't holding anything back now smh.

Me anytime a job application rejection email pops up in my inbox...

Propositions LL and MM passed here in Colorado which means free school meals for all kids regardless of financial need and it allows for any excess to be used to support SNAP

Hotness prevailed in Gotham tonight.

I'm rooting for everyone hot on this election night.

It isn't really hard.They don't want the structure of power to change. What is currently taking place is not "American politics as usual" but to do something about it and differently means the dreams of pre-2000 political status quo cronyism between the two parties is truly dead.

My social security number is Louvre

This wasn't edgy comedy when it premiered 11 years ago it was prophecy. Can't wait to start my digital AI slop gardening to get enough thought coins for my daily Panera bread

I don't know what time it is because I forget which way the time changes but I do know the 10-20 people partying in the street for the last hour are gonna have a bad time tomorrow. You're entertaining my cat so I can't be mad.

I just deactivated my tiktok account. I want to save videos I made before completely deleting. I pretty much stopped using it after the 12 hour shutdown. Now the AI slop is quickly increasing it's not as bad as Instagram but it's getting there.

Next month I'll be performing in two shows with STEMprov. We blend STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) with improv comedy. I also built an app that allows audience participation. Our 11/29 show we are also fundraising for a local food bank. If you're in Denver check us out.

Ending spooky season with one of the spookiest images I've created.

Tropical fruit update: This morning breakfast included a tamarillo. It's like a mix of tomato and passion fruit. A really tart tomato. There was only one so after tasting I added it to some cottage cheese and now I'm sad because it was really good.

I only have 6 days left before I am officially unemployed and I just had to inform a team that sent me a detailed request for help that I can't actually help them 😔. I still gave a little advice because even if I'm gone accessibility is still important.

I went down a rabbit hole watching tropical fruit influencers on social media. So I overnighted a bunch of fruit from Florida. I've had my first hidden rose apple, caviar line and golden berries. I have more in the fridge and ripening on the counter. I can't tell you how happy I am right now.

The people upset that Zohran Mamdani called his father's cousin 'auntie' would probably riot over people who have no family connection referring to themselves as 'play cousins'

This is 14,000 out of the 30,000 planned. Will AI replace everyone laid off? Absolutely not. You know what's missing from the reporting when AI is given as reason for layoffs? Actual proof/examples of an AI agents or tools doing the work from start to finish of a person that isn't middle management.

Asking my cat to help me fix state management issues and she turns and walks away. 😭

Listen I got the dev server to run without errors and I can see my hello world home page so I'll call that a win. I'm not doing anything too fancy with the app so it's encouraging.

It's a pretty Colorado autumn Saturday afternoon. I'm in living room trying not to cry as I fight my way through NextJS trying to build the app that my Improv group is using during two shows next month.

Here me out. I write a book. It's real mid. Some would say it's bad, but I put the falsehood out in the streets that AI wrote it. I become a best-selling AI author but I'm just using the stuff I actually wrote when I was younger that I found a DVD-RW last week in my closet.

A black cat, black bed comforter, night time and low vision is a wicked combination.

I thought I would make a timely meme after watching one of my favorite movies.

Don't ask me how but I got an image of the people who did the heist at the Louvre.

One why would I move from a resource hungry browser to a different resource hungry browser that is guaranteed to take any data I put into it? Also this seems to underestimate most people's resistance when it comes to switching to a new browser.

It only took me like three years sitting in my to-do list but I finally updated my handle to @scopicengineer.com here

1) Companies are using AI to run their hiring proces to the point some are laying off the majority of their HR depts. Many of the same companies also require people to sign agreements they will not use AI as they go through the application process. AI for me but not for thee’ double standard.

When I make a mistake please give me the grace I need. I'm in my early 40s so I'm just a kid with a whole lot to learn.

It looks like most states will withhold November SNAP if the government shutdown continues. If that happens that means food banks are going to be overwhelmed at a time they usually see their highest demands of the year. If you have the means consider donating to your local food bank.

How come when the government is supposed to be shut down the IRS is working just enough to send me a certified letter with incorrect information (saying I didn't file for three years but those years I filed with my spouse)?

Damn it I post and immediately see that D'Angelo passed 😭

America's vibes have been off since Ariana Grande stopped being Black.

Ay if you try to come at me in my DMs/inbox because certain news stories due to your assumptions, I'm gonna hurt your feelings. Anyway, how about doing something productive like donate to Pal Hawai’i, an org that provides affordable homes and service and prevent displacement of Native Hawaiians.

“I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.” ― Douglas Adams Vague posting but after reading a certain bit of news tonight I am really grateful for the direction that I was pushed towards this past month.

Does anyone know if Antifa is hiring right now? The job market is rough and I'm trying to make that Soros money before the empire collapses.

The autism stems from when one or both parents have V-cut abs. The V acts as an arrow to tell the autism to infect the baby. Honestly this is what it sounds like every time something is linked as the cause of autism.

Thanks to the friend who compared me to Columbo "short, one good eye, most people thought he was annoying and weird, but he was good at what he did" when expressing my doubts about staying in accessibility. I'm gonna to take this as weirdly inspiring because I like the show.

I've been thinking about getting out of accessibility professionally. Between tech trying to abandon the practice every chance they get causing a scarcity of jobs, feeling like an outsider around many a11y professionals, and the constant battle against burnout.

Originally focused on LinkedIn but decided to open the offer up here as well. I'm holding office hours for anyone seeking to begin or improve their understanding of digital accessibility. Wednesdays 10 am–3 pm MT through November 19th If interested I'll DM you a Calendly link to sign up 1/2
