Next week, I'm attending TechLead Conference 2025 – get your free remote ticket and join me! gitnation.com/badges/techl...

New year year, exciting news, y’all! In November I started a new gig at Electronic Arts to help with the Fan Growth Design System and infrastructure. Special thanks to @kathryng.bsky.social for the interview prep, and the countless number of people in my network for the support.

If anyone wants to know why it took me so long or why my account is still in place on Twitter, it's because I don't feel comfy going into bubbles and not witnessing the shifts right now. I also don't want my name/account to get leveraged in my absence. These "news platforms" got us to this moment.

Tips for saving posts with 📌 until Bluesky supports bookmarks:

If you care about accessibility and want to not forget using alt text in your images, there's a setting for that

So we chose the harder path forward AGAIN… Only this time, the most vulnerable won’t be the only ones to suffer under the yoke of white supremacy… Maybe THIS time the Coalition of the Wounded will decide, once and for all, that we get there TOGETHER or not at all 🫶🏾

Are you looking for starter packs? @danawoodman.com is curating a sweet megathread for you!

(giggles in elder) Or… some of us know the value of keeping abreast of multiple social platforms? 🙃

Welcome new followers! Here’s some autumn imagery for you.

“We’re told the future of tech is coming, and it is fixed. […] And if we don’t want to be erased by it, we in design systems must address ourselves now to building the mechanisms and rules of whatever automated systems will emerge for creating products. “ Great read by @jovo.design

It’s time to talk about Design System Carnivals and accessibility at Clarity... will I see you there?

Wibblur is open yall for a bit: https://wibblur.social/ Join the discord if you want to collaborate: https://discord.gg/vMnqQkasxw Learning and building.

The team didn’t take it seriously in April and May. Y’all. The platform that prioritizes the safety of the marginalized and leads with accessibility wins. Every. Time.

My conference lineup for 2023 to date: April: ✈️ ReactMiamiConf 🌴 🎭 June: ✈️ ReactNext 🇮🇱🌱 September: ✈️ ReactAlicante 🇪🇸🌱

If you want to build your demonstrated anti racist practice, this book by @kimcrayton1.bsky.social is a must-have.

When all else fails, stare at some jewel-toned mineral specimens in the afternoon light.

Leaning on “generally accepted” practices does not prioritize the marginalized communities. If innovation is going to happen, why not start there?

Bluesky was happy to use Aveta to enrich their network with incredible people. She worked day and night to bring people in for the culture, doing intros, onboarding. She actively led through multiple issues of harassment. But when it came time to LISTEN to her, to show up for her, this is it? 💔

“…we know that we’ll be unable to create the perfect environment for everyone” This is where many get it wrong, finding themselves running in circles…we should NOT be designing/building anything for everyone, it’s impossible, but we can prioritize the most vulnerable which means everyone benefits

The replies to Jay's posts are instructive. Pay attention to who is saying "great work!". I know I am.

Why is this, Bluesky? Can you give some insight, @emily.bsky.team? It’s not cool that our most marginalized community is feeling unsafe and is being deprioritized.

This👇🏾 With the amount of data from the “move fast, break things” era, we all know what’s NEEDED to build an inclusive social media ecosystem…at this point, it’s strategic ignorance to build any community WITHOUT safeguards, tools, and trained FUCKIN humans

A Design Systems Carnival — where no less than six speakers joined the presentation. In costume. My React Miami Conf talk is live, y’all!

Happy Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD), Bluesky. I know many of you are familiar with alt text for images and why it's use is important.There many other issues that are also just important when it comes to digital accessibility that you probably aren't aware as they aren't as visible 1/

I had a blast talking about Design Systems Carnivals at React Miami last month! Here are the slides, notes, and code examples, y'all. https://noti.st/resource11/e9MxhM/design-system-carnival-one-accessible-component-many-pretty-masks

Observing interconnected patterns in layers upon layers is my superpower. What’s yours?

More folks should be aware of what goes into these operations. Really great read.

But hey! It’s more “important” to know who invited AOC and originated hellthread first, right? Oy. Mediocre indeed. 🫠 Sing it, Aveta.

Content here is public, like a blog. Blocks prevent interaction, but data can be viewed whether this person has an account or not. We just had an in-depth conversation about public nature of data over here: https://staging.bsky.app/profile/jay.bsky.team/post/3juuopn3vbl2v

The problem with a "wait and see" approach with known bad actors is that it communicates to your vulnerable population that you are willing to allow them to be abused until it rises to the level of an "actionable" offense. By the time this has happened, they've driven users off the platform.

Bruh if I invite you here and you show your ass (figuratively or literally) on my reputation, there's gonna be a problem

🎶 I heard you on the wireless back in fifty two…

🎶Darken the city, night is a wire…

Yikes. How are we going to prioritize protecting the vulnerable if we have public block lists? Is this a consideration, @emily.bsky.team?
