The web feels like itβs getting so good at exactly the moment our collective worst practices are getting calcified as the default.
This said, a black bean burger positively rules.
Though we're not so formalized about it, this tracks with how we've been approaching our meat intake.
The point about recipes rings true. We got much more excited about incorporating plant-based meals when we found more plants-first recipes, rather than lesser imitations of classically meat dishes.

While this absolutely sucks, we are going to see a lot more places implementing universal global age verification over this next year, because the number of states and countries legally requiring it has gotten to the point no one can keep up anymore.
My contract is ending at the end of February and so Iβd like to find a new role ASAP.
I am a senior-level design systems developer / design technologist / front-of-the-frontend developer that specializes in web accessibility.

Today is the last day for ACA open enrollment.
Senate Republicans had every chance this week to extend ACA tax credits and chose not to β while families are stretching every dollar just to make ends meet.
Healthcare should never be a luxury in America.
This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
The two hardest problems in Computer Science are
1. Human communication
2. Getting people in tech to believe that human communication is important

I've set up a small monthly newsletter called Focus State.
With accessibility support shrinking in a lot of orgs, I wanted to create something that divides that gap, builds community, and makes the internet a bit more fun.
If you dig digital accessibility give it a look:

It's been one hell of a run, but I'm really glad you're taking this step for yourself. Here's to the next chapter, Salma!

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.
Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.
They are not the same.
Gotta love how quickly pull request best practices get abandoned the moment accessibility work is involved.
In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.
Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.
Remember them the next time youβre inclined to write an area off because βthey voted for this.β
I think this is a common kind of scammy rhetorical construction that makes people mad, because it sets up a world in which the thing cannot fail, it can only be failed. I actually associate this most with diets, but it also appears a lot for Agile.
when im captioning someone's words, i caption all of their words, aside from most speech disfluencies such as uhs and ums.
for example, i dont change "gonna" to "going to" or whatever else to "fix" their speech. it's racist, ableist, and classist to do so.
i side-eye captioners who do that.

Trans rights are not the rights of a tiny minority, trans rights are everyoneβs rights to self-determination, control of our bodies, and a society where opportunity and aesthetics are not restricted by sex assigned at birth
You should support and defend trans people because trans people are people
