Can you actually sue for emotional distress? Decorated military veteran with a PTSD diagnosis living in downtown Chicago and these fucking blackhawks are not helping. I already leave town during air shows.

I tried Tirtir and holy fuck what is this magic.

My building is planning to install Latch today. I asked to opt out, was told no. Anyone have any ideas here? Beyond the “no thank you to yet another app on my personal device”, any way to quarantine the app?

I think it should be okay for apps to ask me about my user preferences like, once a year. I think it should be illegal for them to reset my ad or auto-play preferences every update. I am a paying customer who has explicitly gone into settings and changed them. Respect it.

It’s wild that someone else can just decide that you have to be on trial. Is that really a thing? 🥸

I feel like our first cue that society was collapsing is the sneaky shit built into Candy Crush.

“I started playing this game because of the voice over artists” is just such a wild claim to make IMO.

One thing Kimmel and I have in common. We’re both back Tuesday night. Live premiere 9pm eastern on YouTube

Customs was empty when I got back to Chicago today. It was eerie.

I wonder which tech lord didn’t kiss up _enough_, because they’ve all done it enough to make everyone 🤬🤮

Enough walking. Time for a G&T.

BTW this is one of the coolest uses of Ember I’ve ever seen…used in displays for Museums. Read the whole thread it’s super interesting just in general.

Packing to head home from Brussels. Brief notes: - feels more chaotic here than other EU cities I’ve visited. - I purposefully tried to pack less. There were two things I didn’t bring that I wish I had, two things that I brought that I wish I didn’t. - my talk seemed to go over pretty well.

The buttonhole is still in the cloth napkins in first class

I just really need to know how do you pronounce the name Béibhionn

Can your noise-cancelling headphones deteriorate over time in a way where the noise cancelling doesn’t really work but you don’t notice it until you’re on an 8 hour flight with multiple screaming babies? Asking for a…me. Asking for me.

If your Halloween collection doesn’t include crows are you even trying?!

If you liked Demon Slayer the show, the movie does not disappoint.

How many days do I open any social media, read for less than two minutes then nope out?! The world these days. Can’t even doom scroll anymore.

Ok buckle up we’re about to do this whole ADHD ride that I just had IRL

When I was on Google Slides, I missed PowerPoint. Now that I’m back on PowerPoint I don’t remember how to do things. 🤦‍♀️

I don't celebrate violence. I am not happy for increased violence. However, I do not mourn the loss of a man who thought it was ok to sacrifice children for unchecked gun rights. I mourn the children who maybe would be alive today if fewer people advocated for those views.

I am so glad that I have a box full of older iPhones. Honestly after everything I’ve read today this might fund my retirement 😂

Well the NPM thing explains those 2FA texts I kept getting for a crypto wallet I didn’t remember making 🤷‍♀️

Saw Alonzo Bodden tonight and he keeps getting funnier.

So, I did write that K-pop Demon Hunter themed Accessibility talk…

I know the world is ending but I’m fascinated and confused by K-Pop. Especially like, why is Felix so adorable? How is his voice so good? Why is his skin and makeup so perfect? I will ponder this while watching another interview.

It baffles me how much people who don’t have to ship at scale seem to spend a lot of time shouting about things that only end up being in your life if you have to ship at scale. Like, if you have to use it, you understand why it exists. Be more curious, perhaps?

DC not even safe from fly overs anymore. FML.

Just logged into AWS for the first time in my whole life. Wish me luck, I've been avoiding this day and now it's time to face it.

Why is “did you try turning it off and turning it on again” the answer mostly every time? 🤔😂

“…what remained…was the detritus of his fear.” What a superb sentence.

I would love to speak at this conference. Last time I attended, I was excited about the sessions, and felt like this is my next level.

My son’s flight landed 30 minutes ago. On time. They’re still waiting for a gate, #United.

Sometimes I’m just tired and want the food I order to be delivered correctly & DoorDash is getting worse again here. It was just finally starting to get better (consistent!). I know. I “should” just not order in. Whatever.

I had an impromptu visit to Crumbs and Whiskers cat cafe in Georgetown and all I can say is that I think everyone should do this as a regular part of their self-care routine.

Me: oh it’s going to rain My husband: App says not until tomorrow. Me: ok but look outside RN 😂😂😂

Structured #negotiation has been used to advance digital #accessibility and #Disability Rights for 30 years. @workaccord.bsky.social in Australia is reviewing the book chapter by chapter. Chapter 9 below. book link here. Thx Andrew Wood! #ADR #a11y www.lflegal.com/book/structu... #bookSky

Heading to DC tomorrow and this is the first time ever I’m not thrilled about it.

Stop expecting JS bros to teach you things. I’m tired of it and they are never just right. The world deserves better.

Excuse me but where can I buy Stuart’s denim trench?!! #gbsb #sewingbee Legit, I want.

Zucchini, onion, garlic, ginger, olive oil, butter, salt, pepper, heavy cream, lemon zest, Parmesan cheese. 😍🥰😘

Someone shot up the CDC because they hate vaccines and I feel like we live in not just the worst but the bizarrest of the worst possible timelines. You _hate_ vaccines? You hate staying alive? I just…WTAF?

So Saturday is “Anime Saturday” in our home. Management of a Novice Alchemist is available as a dub on HIDIVE and a super cute mostly completely wholesome show.

“8192 bit military-grade polymorphic encryption.” Is that a real thing or just the hallucination of a tv show writer?

Savage, lol

There is something really liberating about picking up a hobby and feeling no pressure that it *could* turn into your next career.

I had a dream last night that I kept trying to get burger ingredients delivered but my Instacart person kept only bringing me cheese, I tried ordering at least three times and it kept happening. Thankfully I woke up. My husband made me a burger for breakfast because he’s awesome like that. ❤️
