@thatCalamity Omg what?! That’s amazing!!!! Congrats!

[Maddy Grant @MaddyDaigle]

@TheEllenShow Just watched your Millennial challenge! You should do an “ok boomer” challenge where you get a boomer to post a selfie to multiple social media sites and hashtag them all haha!

@RobairreG @binge_mode @MalloryRubin @netw3rk Yea, they must cycle through chancellors a lot. That’s like Trump getting impeached because I had a bad experience at a bodega. (wouldn’t complain)

[Maddy Grant @MaddyDaigle]

@binge_mode @MalloryRubin @netw3rk Did Rugor Nass (the Gungan leader) make Jar Jar a general so that he would be killed on the battlefield? I mean, he had to have known Jar Jar would likely die.

[Maddy Grant @MaddyDaigle]

@JuliannaRowsell Honestly, I feel this all the time. It also messes with my self confidence, motivation and even mental health. Makes me question my professional decisions. Know that you have made a huge difference with many people - I still reference a11y talks you gave. :)

The top set of tiles are supposed to be darker than the bottom ones; they serve different functions in the game. 🤨

[Maddy Grant @MaddyDaigle]

Wow so I really enjoy this game (#carpediem) but the colour contrast on the backs of the tiles is TERRIBLE. I have relatively good vision and I have difficulty telling the “darker” and “lighter” tile backs apart! #a11y #accessibility

[Maddy Grant @MaddyDaigle]

I find asking proper follow up questions without adding bias or leading answers is one of the hardest things to do during #UX research activities. If you struggle with this, take a read!

UX friends! What's on your agenda this week? Stakeholder interview? User interview? Usability test? Brainstorming? Card sort? Whatever it is, mind your follow-up questions...

A lot of folks ask me why I don’t drive much and it’s always awkward to answer. This perfectly explains driving with #ADHD and #anxiety:

[Dani Donovan 👩🏻‍🎨 ADHD Comics @danidonovan]

I've always hated driving.

a) I get lost easily. Live/die by GPS.
b) I have a very vivid imagination. Intrusive thoughts about dying every time I'm next to a semi-truck.
c) Constant anxiety about spacing out and causing an accident.

[Maddy Grant @MaddyDaigle]

@danidonovan Yep, I’m the exact same way. People at work often ask me why I bus instead of driving and I tend to make up some sort of excuse. But no more! This is why... lol.

[Maddy Grant @MaddyDaigle]

@jillboard Anything with pop-out scares... horror, thriller, (spoiler) that moment In Half Blood Prince where Harry goes to get Dumbledore water from the lake and the skeleton arm grabs him. I’m jumpy on a regular basis; don’t need that baloney in my movies!

[Maddy Grant @MaddyDaigle]

@wickdchiq Wow... that pisses me off so much. 🤬

[Maddy Grant @MaddyDaigle]

@leszekn @AudetDr Yay! Congrats! ^_^

[Maddy Grant @MaddyDaigle]

Cats make my soul happy. 💗 🐱

[Maddy Grant @MaddyDaigle]

@thatCalamity Yes please!! Let me know when you’re free and we’ll plan something. ^_^

[Maddy Grant @MaddyDaigle]

The hubby just shared the official no name brand twitter account and I’m dying. 🤣

[no name @nonamebrands]

may not be effective as shoelaces

[Maddy Grant @MaddyDaigle]

@thatCalamity Awwww she still uses the cat bed! 🥰

[Maddy Grant @MaddyDaigle]

Working as a #UX designer in the public service is great and all, but I can’t deny it has unique challenges. Must read. 😉 https://t.co/6EdcPDTXa7
