@jenstrickland Still no quiet spaces? Lobbied them every year for some appreciation of the needs of people with sensory issues, and every year I was told they weren't interested.
Anything changed? #CSUNATC23

Today is my 32nd birthday.

Over the last month, I asked several 90-year-olds what advice they would give to their 32-year-old selves.

So, the Accessibility Experience Team at Twitter is no longer. We had so much more to do, but we worked hard! There aren't very many people that have had the opportunity to make such an important global platform like Twitter accessible, but we understood the mission.

And it’s shockingly simple 👇👇

Start your week with one tiny win:

• Read for 30 minutes
• Write for 15 minutes
• Get in a quick workout
• Eat a nutritionally-dense breakfast

People comparing 2022 to 2008 have lost their minds. In 2008, the S&P dropped 45%, we faced a global banking and mortgage meltdown, unemployment was 8% on its way to 10%, Goldman Sachs needed a bridge loan, millions of people lost their houses. This is not that.
