More wisdom in my 5yo’s Dogman book than I’m seeing in most places right now. It’s not enough to just be good people, we have to DO GOOD - right now.

Amber Alerts in my area send me to police department Facebook pages? I just…what? No. Let’s not rely on Meta for this live saving information?

Fully agree - but structural changes have been historically VERY difficult for me to sell in UX spaces. How do you surface this in a way that people can clearly understand and care about? Can you speak to how you get this type of work prioritized?

100% - this language is easy to misunderstand

🀯 What will the Onion even write about now? Everything that should be satire is real.

Colleague asked today if we should stop doing a11y reviews of design work due to federal email swirling about being reported if you are caught supporting DEIA communities.

Channeling @timothysnyder.bsky.social here when I say NO - do not volunteer to uphold fear tactics with nothing behind them.

Yet another school shouting in Nashville. Yet another attempt to get TN to care about public schools or gun control. Yet another protest led by kids. Must apply for tickets to get into our own Capitol building & can be arrested for bringing an 8.5x11 sheet of paper with words of protest on it.

So many of the amazing people I work with are USDS, a11y specialists, non-binary folks & let me just say that being in civic tech right now is a lot.

Humans really have such a profound ability to care for one another. Now is the time to be a helper.

Hearing real feedback from disabled people about how crucial accessibility (beyond compliance) is for their ability to use digital services has been life changing for me. I’m proud of how seriously we take this at the VA & am grateful for my USDS colleagues who fight for it every day. ✊

Library purchases are purchases. They pay the press. The press counts them towards advances and royalties. And (gasp) the book is in a library!! It’s wonderful and no one should ever feel bad about getting a book through a library instead of buying it.

Since I’m new here, I’m doing my thing and psychoanalyzing navigation.

Wish I didn’t have to scroll up to the top of the page to access that β€œ<β€œ back link caret.
