If I ran Disney I would not invest a billion dollars into a money losing plagiarism machine but I guess that's why I'm not a business genius.

Start book clubs, do lean trainings, have ad-hoc discussions, build communities and talk about it. It doesn't fix the problem but it invests in the long term solution. Accessibility work has always been about the long-term, and I am certain that the long term of accessibility still is bright 3/3

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

adding alt text to your photos is like washing your hands after going to the bathroom- both take a little extra time, but theyre the right thing to do, and it’s gross if you don’t.

If (a) birthright citizenship is overturned and (b) it doesn't lead to court-packing then like how are you even still a liberal at that point

All I want for Christmas is for the worst people in the world to experience some consequences

surround yourself with "I went through this so you shouldn't have to" people rather than "I had to, so you should too"

This is one of those things that I think is quietly important – when these people are talking shit about cities, Portland or Minneapolis or New York or Charlotte or wherever, you have to loudly say, “no, fuck you, you’re lying, that town and its people whip ass and you’re the asshole”

So yeah, if you're represented by a Republican in a district that was carried by less than 20 points, tomorrow would be a good day to call and demand that the ACA subsidies continue.

How about we worry less, as a society, about whether individuals might be cheating to get a disability accommodation or some help buying food, and more about whether extremely wealthy people and corporations are paying their fair share of taxes?

25% of buy now / pay later users are going into debt to buy groceries. The average medical debt is $7,931. The average student loan debt is $39,075 Grocery debt Medical debt Student loan debt We’re driving people into debt for basic necessities while CEOs get more tax breaks.

They're all main characters. We're just the NPCs, we don't factor into their hyperimportance.

Once you start doing stuff in Portland, you come to find out that Portland is less a city and more a small town

when someone tells me not to use em dashes because AI uses em dashes

“it’s just a tool” becomes unconvincing when entrepreneurship means leveraging power to make it impossible for people to avoid your product, and creating problems for whomever doesn’t use it

The billionaires who own much of the the infrastructure of our 21st century lives have progressively enshittified that infrastructure while expanding their wealth, and then they scold us for being small-souled peasants who don’t believe in progress anymore.

Here's how silly US racism is. Black people in California vote consistently for us to to be taxed more, because we are a rich state. We also vote to send that money to West Virginia to help them. But white people in WV vote consistently to cancel the very programs and assistance they depend on.🤦🏿‍♂️

I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

Unfortunately, yes they did. ICE raids are still his most popular policy. It's late November, 2025, and 89% of GOP still approve of the job Trump is doing on immigration.🤦🏿‍♂️ 52% of white people approve of the job Trump is doing on immigration.🤦🏿‍♂️ He said what he was going to do, and he's doing it.

Hey all, I'm seeking a new job. 👋 If you have any leads or connections 👉 that would be much appreciated. More details of what I'm looking for in the attached screenshot with alt text as that would be too long for a post.

And just like that, a new platform is almost done. Using Bluesky as a backend is *really* under-appreciated, imo. It feels like you are getting away with something. Like how can all these resources be usable by anyone? I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop, for them to lock it down more. #devlog

Scientists recently combined DNA of a cheetah with the DNA of a crab. It went sideways real fast.

Incredible to see our Dem leaders pass a resolution condemning socialism while our greatest socialist mayor hasn't even been sworn in and has already gotten the president to admit to being a fascist

this is the correct framing

This lady is a hero. Protect her.

It’s the racism. Always has been.

Yeah I'm seeing all this "be quiet, corporate Dem" and it's like no she's saying America hates women and no one wants to accept that they do. This country literally picked Donald Trump after J6 to come back because the other option was a woman. We suck ass.

I love this for him! 🫶

Welcome to America

Regional community event coming up in Redmond, WA — PNW Accessibility Professionals is hosting an opportunity to learn, explore, & connect at Microsoft's Inclusive Tech Lab on Dec 5th: www.meetup.com/pnw-accessib... 1/2 #a11y #meetup #PNW #Seattle

Give a man a fish and someone with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about people getting free handouts. Teach a man to fish? Yeah, that person with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about that too.

Every ad now

The non-technical term for "ephebophelia" is "well, actually."

Let's just stop for a moment and remember that if the name of literally any other president in history was all over the emails of the most notorious pedophile in history, it would be the biggest news story in history and they'd resign in disgrace within hours. But no, it's just another Wednesday.

One root cause is the whole advertising-based model that managed to win the web. It’s led us to all kinds of detritus, the worst of which is the rot at the NYT, but includes endless modals, pop-ups, and requests to allow notifications. It’s #enshittification across the board. #ThanksCapitalism

Horrifying. I hope by some miracle there is full accountability for every single person involved in this thing from the people who preyed on kids to the people running cover for them.

Here’s the problem with U.S. “news” in a nutshell: treating the worst possible type of crimes committed by the most powerful people in our country as a polling issue. Pathetic.

What sick dogshit place are we living in where "child sex trafficking and pedophilia" is an "issue" and not a "put everyone in jail and throw away the whole jail" situation

Sounds right except Epstein’s email would have been: “wha t . . was concensus of your fellow atendees spaghetti saudi conference .”

On the contrary, Mr. Trump. I don't find any of these secrets to be wonderful.

It's endlessly funny to me that conservatives in 2025 think they can get liberals to side against the release of the Epstein files by pointing out Bill Clinton's involvement. Nobody's cared about Bill Clinton for a quarter century.

we got rid of government statistics and experts and outsourced it to the burrito taxi company, you’ll never guess what happened next
