Day 4,494 of sobriety: Today was a day of reflection, exorcising demons, and facing a lot of stuff in the past.

Introduce yourself with 5 concerts you’ve seen Clutch Pink Floyd The Cure The Smiths Anthrax/Pantera/Coal Chamber

Yes. I visited the hot sauce store. Yes. I have purchased the corn chipotle hot sauce in the 32 oz. bottle

Lunch was phenomenal.

A bird shit on my shoulder just now walking through downtown. How’s your day going?

Pretty good day today so far.

These came out great for brunch.

Needed to bring this shirt on the trip. Thanks to @chrisdemars.net and @tuxcare.bsky.social for the awesome shirt. Just getting around to post this. Thank you!

I loved cooking and still do, but from time-to-time there are some things in cooking and the profession that are unforgivable (Influencers, Jamie Oliver, Rachael Ray, raisins or cranberries in potato salad, people cooking or eating anything over a 3# lobster) and a crime. The worst? Food waste.

Earlier today. I had company.

The last time I was in the San Diego area was 2005 and I was leaving. I had packed up all my stuff and was headed back East, driving cross-country. It feels strange being back in the area so much has changed since I lived in the area.

Finally out of the car.

Holiday travel is the worst. The people that drive like where ever they are going is going to disappear like an oasis in a desert is astounding.

1 hour 30 minutes to go and this hell ride is over.

I don’t want to be on the road for six hours yet here I am getting to a vehicle

Whitmer and Beshear backing Janet Mills in Maine. GFY.

Headed to San Diego in the morning. Whom do I know in the area?

All the white me who are staunchly against trans athletics must have been the ones dominated in school by the girls whom they used to play sports with in the 70’s through the 90’s. Or did you forget about when you didn’t give a shit then assholes?

Applause for @crazeelala2u.bsky.social today as she has officially put up with my shenanigans and tomfoolery for FIVE years now. That’s enough time for anyone to go slowly insane. Way to hang in there and put up with me and happy anniversary, ma chérie!

I’m coasting through this week with zero expectations

Passed over for an accessibility role. At this point, I’m hoping that my idea, when complete gives me the standing to be able to give a double-bird to all those places I’ve applied at and a big F-U. To which I’ll do because I’m bitter like that.

I was riding with @abbeyperini.dev and @dangitalex.wtf from Jackson to Atlanta and snapped this plate and thought to myself that is a hell of a license plate and I love it. ✨🦄💨

Seven job rejection emails today. I’ve never felt so good about myself he said sarcastically.

I wish I were hearing more conversations about #accessibility on podcasts and not just the same recycled stuff over and over and over again.

Globally, figures on disposable income of the disabled community differ and I don’t think there will ever be a number across the board. $18.3 tn www.rod-group.com/wp-content/u... (page 4) This data seems to be the data most places go to. I’ve seen anywhere from $12-20 tn. Citing sources is needed

The Delta app is hot garbage.

Italian sausage and mushroom ravioli with a brown butter sage sauce. That’s what’s for dinner.

I’m going to need people to stop leaving me hanging because this is getting to the point where I’m just not going to do any calls or meetings anymore.

Not only is the outage affect websites, but also apps that rely on it. We rely too heavily and take stock too much in a handful of things we really shouldn’t.

We won’t learn anything from this.

The Cloudflare outage only makes me think one thing: “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.”

I had a blast at @magnolia.boo and hope to go back as an attendee in the future. It's a great conference to speak at whether it is your first talk or your millionth.

My @magnolia.boo talk is up: youtu.be/P-P50Ztejfo?...

I wrote an article on deceptive patterns. Enjoy. toddl.dev/posts/the-ar...

A little video about lobsters. Some education and clarification. 🦞 youtube.com/watch?v=9YGQ...

Lunch time.

Mark Zuckerberg can go leap into Moosehead Lake with lead boots on. Nor do I believe he didn’t buy the property up. Guillotines for them all. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/15/u...

Our beloved Alice Wong has joined the ancestors. It was one of the great honors of my life to call Alice my friend, co-author & co-conspirator. She was a true genius, a force of nature the likes of which the world has never seen before. I love you, Alice, and am equal parts grateful and devastated

The Affordable Care Act is fifteen years old. That explains why Republicans are trying to fuck it.

Read up on the fact that there are apparently people in the South that deny the Satanic Panic of the 80’s never happened. Evangelicals are the most unspun, delusional bunch. You don’t even have to go back decades. I guess there is some “labubu doll” these same dipshits are calling Satanic. 🙄

I'd like to know who thought of it first. Who thought that telling people that alt text needs to be "ADA compliant" and why? I'd like to have some words.

The Greenhouse hiring platform is the absolute worst I have seen as far as accessibility that I have had to deal with. Form fields not responsive, drop downs that don't respond, input answers cut off, buttons that don't respond. We've trashed the web with too much over-engineering.

Still not out of my “get off my lawn” attitude today. Two more robo-rejections. One was for an accessibility position.

Update: Paula has paid off all her past due bills catching her up. For that, we thank you profusely. Next steps are to get her into the doctor office for an appointment. Her last appointment was canceled because the doctor was sick. So we wait.

The cat doesn’t give a shit and we should rename them to Garfield and Odie.
