I'm nominated for an Impact Through Education award @thegamehers.bsky.social! My commitment to making XR for Everyone, empowered by @owlchemylabs.com, surfaces through projects, blogs, and talks that show others how we make XR more accessible to people with disabilities. Creating impact is my goal 🧡

This article contains really good insights on designing for hand tracking and accessibility! It features some of my coworkers, including Emma Atkinson, Marc Huet, and @gaalexxy.bsky.social. They're super cool so check it out if you like XR πŸ™ŒπŸΌ

KURT VONNEGUT: Oh, she says well, you're not a poor man. You know, why don't you go online and buy a hundred envelopes and put them in the closet? And so I pretend not to hear her. And go out to get an envelope because I'm going to have a hell of a good time in the process of buying one envelope.

I meet a lot of people. And, see some great looking babes. And a fire engine goes by. And I give them the thumbs up. And, and ask a woman what kind of dog that is. And, and I don't know…

And, of course, the computers will do us out of that. And, what the computer people don't realize, or they don't care, is we're dancing animals. You know, we love to move around. And, we're not supposed to dance at all anymore.

every time i see some new attempt to Streamline and Optimize our Lives i think about this kurt vonnegut quote that does rounds. we're dancing animals! not everything needs to be optimized! sometimes a tedious task creates an unlikely opportunity to learn something about yourself! or for joy!!

PANEL 1: A cat and a duck are bundled up and walking outside in the snowfall. DUCK: "I just don't know how much time I've got left working in tech."

PANEL 2: DUCK: "And yeah okay boo-hoo I still have a job--but I'm feeling more and more all the time that I've spent my labor to forward something INSIDIOUS."

PANEL 3: CAT: "If there's no ethical CONSUMPTION under capitalism--well--what chance do you think ethical PRODUCTION had?"

PANEL 4: DUCK: "Smart enough to solve problems with computer. Too stupid to understand the problems were all bait."

Sometimes all you can do is make the world 0.0000000000001% less awful by being a good person and it feels very meaningless but it’s also the only thing that really matters

A graphic for a "BIG WINTER UPDATE" featuring a large ALICE orb character from Dimensional Double Shift wearing a black top hat and a pink and green striped scarf on the left. Across the top are six smaller, winter-themed accessories: a green and pink striped glove, a ring with a striped stone, a ring with a small cardboard box on it, a pink and green striped scarf tied in a knot, a ring with a small snowman, and a ring resembling a white braided chain. The background is a blurry purple and blue winter scene with falling snow and a few light blue stylized snowflakes.

Conservatives love AI because it's far easier to abuse a population that can't read, can't write, can't think, and can't tell what's real
