You should be able to see the promo made for my Digital Collegium 2025 Colorado Regional Conference keynote on June 11th even if you don't have LinkedIn. My social anxiety is highly triggered when I have to do video and not just a voice over so not gonna even tell you how many takes I did.

Apparently I don’t need to point out how woefully bad at accessibility (or just code in general) Figma is because it’ll do it for me. This is Figma Sites’ accessibility fixes note (linking to quote language on my site for commentary): adrianroselli.com/2025/05/do-n... #accessibility #a11y

When I’m overwhelmed, overthinking, or frustrated, I ask myself: “Will I care about this on my deathbed?” — Dr. Luyi Kathy Zhang

Thank you to all the caregivers out there—the quiet heroes who show up with love, patience, and strength every single day. The world is better because of you.

Congrats!

“Community care will be the only thing to save us. Build and invest in building in person community. People who will ride down and rise up with you. Reciprocity is the medicine.” The Nap Ministry

I’m in the news!

Life doesn't always go as planned, but l've learned to accept, love, and adapt. It's not about resisting what is-it's about moving with it, finding the beauty in the shift, and trusting that even in the hardest moments, there can be soft landings. #EmbracingChange #SoftLandings

To every woman finding her way, adapting, growing, and showing up as she is—I see you. Life isn’t always easy, but we keep moving, loving, and embracing the journey. Strength isn’t just in the struggle; it’s in the softness, the grace, and the way we land. #InternationalWomensDay #SoftLandings

We shield ourselves from discomfort, mistaking it for safety—yet in doing so, we forfeit growth. Growth demands courage, not comfort.

There’s no cutoff age for the things you want to do in life. You may need to take it easier, but you can still do it. Stop telling yourself you can’t because of the limitations others place on themselves. Enjoy YOUR life!

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but today is the first day of your life. Close all the the tabs-mentally, emotional and literally. Take a breath, get outside if you can and start fresh.

A lot of problems could be avoided if people weren’t so afraid of looking silly. Asking questions doesn’t make you less important—it makes you wiser. Give yourself the grace to learn.

I miss old Twitter and the diversity it brought to my feed. Feels different now. How does this place work these days? #TryingToFigureItOut

Accessibility isn’t just a separate department; it’s a core issue that influences every facet of an organization. Everyone must embrace their role and take ownership of making accessibility a priority. #axschat

No, the US Gov hasn’t canceled accessibility. Recent exec orders ended federal DEIA programs, but ADA & disability laws still stand. State & intl laws also require compliance. Enforcement may shift, but accessibility remains a legal & ethical must. www.a11yquest.com/blog/2025-01... #A11y #ADA

More people than ever talk about mental health, yet many misapply labels from social media instead of seeking growth. Discomfort, pain, and harm aren’t the same. Just because something hurts doesn’t mean it’s harming you. Growth needs friction.

Uber has introduced a new app feature that allows riders to self-identify as service animal handlers. This setting in the app’s profile section enables users to opt in and notify drivers in advance, improving ride transparency. https://buff.ly/40ZCt8c #Accessibility

Your future self is counting on you—make a choice today that you’ll be grateful for tomorrow. #Growth #SelfImprovement

Unteachable people are unchangeable people... Steer clear of them.

Why should we care about tech ethics? Curious to hear your thoughts—drop them

The function of racism is making someone else feel small so you can feel tall. As Toni Morrison wisely said: 'The very serious function of racism is distraction. It keeps you from doing your work. It keeps you explaining, over and over again, your reason for being.' #ToniMorrison

The simple lessons. Kendrick: Stop letting people play in your face. Beyoncé: Create what TF you WANT and stand ten toes on it. Doechii: Once you stop playing about YOU, you have no idea how fast your life can change. — via @ScottieBeam

You can’t be mean to others and tell me you’re nice to yourself. When you truly like yourself, you want good for people. Maybe I’m wrong, but that’s how I feel.

True control flows naturally - if you're constantly fighting to maintain it, what you have isn't control at all. It's just an exhausting illusion masquerading as power.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Check in on your strong friends. They carry a lot, and sometimes they need support too. A quick message or call can make a difference. #MentalHealth #CheckIn

A while back I asked folks why they’re joining Bluesky and the most common response I saw was, “I just want a good place to get my news” and, yall, no. Bad. GET YOUR NEWS FROM THE NEWS PBS Newshour is FREE FOR EVERYONE. youtu.be/PMOYN8JWdUk?...

Only people who are not happy with themselves are mean to others. Remember that. #PeacefulMindPeacefulLife

First Monday of the new year, & I’m reflecting on how far I’ve come. The past few years brought travel, hardships, & growth. I’ve learned to take life 1 day at a time, admit my faults, & build habits aligned w/ my higher self. In this uncertain world, I’m focused on making today the best day.

What makes my life beautiful is knowing that the love of my life is the love of my life. To you reading this: your existence is enough, and so are you. Thank you for being here. Wishing you peace, love, and joy as we step into a new year. See you in 2025!
