today is the first day in the last 2ish weeks that we haven’t awoken to howling Santa Ana winds, and haven’t feared for the safety our home, and I am a puddle of goo

Too much fear and trauma is paralyzing! And some of us very much need to stay ready and able to fight or run. That means we post every goddam bit of joy or delight or wonder we can because that is what gives us strength In the darkness, we make our own light

To add: The below turns off Copilot in Word. You may still need to turn it off piecemeal elsewhere. To turn it off EVERYWHERE in Windows 11, here's a good set of instructions: www.tomsguide.com/computing/so... - note the first part depends on your Windows version; the gpedit steps work regardless.

This is what you are looking for, my beautiful babies.

“To turn off, go to Settings > Apps > Photos on iOS and turn off Enhanced Visual Search. On Mac, open Photos and go to Settings > General to do the same. You must do it on each of your Apple devices.”

When you’re being mean to me this is who you’re being mean to

I'm very disappointed by all the people who don't understand what this means A little louder now. You don't know ANY undocumented people. You are not able to direct authorities to ANY undocumented people. You have no idea who they are looking for.

March 12, 1990. US Capitol Crawl. Disabled activists went up the steps of the US Capitol building without their mobility aids and devices in order to demonstrate the need for Congress to pass the Americans with Disabilities Act.

the daylight was saved, but at what cost?

Biting sarcasm in the sheets, disaffected irony in the streets. This is what we were told was to be a grown-up as young adults in the 90s. Whenever some of us objected we were told we didn't get it/didn't belong/get over it. I've been nursing a theory about this for decades, via John Hughes films.

got laid off again today! if anyone is hiring in programming (Godot/Unreal/whatev), game design, or QA, hmu!

When writing alt text, be specific but also succinct. Stick to as few words as you can. Is the clothing relevant? Is the color of the plate important? What about the weather in the background? Decide whether this info adds or distracts from the context of the image.

NEW: for polygon, I wrote about how fame has changed significantly since the advent of the internet. creators with big followings can still go to Walmart anonymously. gone are the days of Elvis. we're all just screaming at the top of our lungs to be heard www.polygon.com/23921269/cel...

Reminder that if you see disturbing or traumatic images, playing Tetris as soon as possible afterwards can help the brain cleanse itself, and lessen the impacts of it longer term. No, I'm not kidding. And no one knows how or why it works. But it DOES work, and I encourage you to remember it.

I just wrapped up my #GAConf micro talk on Light Sensitivity and it was a blast. For those of you who missed it here are my three big takeaways:

I’m kind of terrible at social media right now and keep forgetting to post. But today I made a thing to make myself happy and had to share.
