Today I joined my mother on Capitol Hill to advocate for the Alzheimer's Association and Alzheimer's Impact Movement. We met with congresspeople and their aides to advocate for critical legislation. My mother told her story over and over. Let's keep doing the good work. #EndALZ

Using Swype feature to type in the word "Thanks" and it came out as "tacos." That's practically the same thing? 🌮 🌮 🌮

Moved cities, started a new job, and sent my son to daycare for the first time - just excuse me while I run on coffee and memes

The 2021 UX Research Salary Report is out at https://t.co/tjFmktkZpF! 🙏

We've been overwhelmed to hear how #uxresearchers used our 2019 report to negotiate tens of thousands of dollars in raises - and we hope that tradition continues.

Stay tuned for what we learned... 👇1/

Really enjoy the newest album by @BlackViolin and was pleasantly surprised to find Elgar's Enigma Variations at the end.

A woman vice president of color? Today is a great day! #Inauguration2021

Early voting is cool and all, but what about mail-in options for the masses in #Texas? I currently don't qualify for mail-in but I'll have a newborn at home - many other conditions to consider to keep Texans and families safe #VoteByMail https://t.co/3pIeTd9Ni4

[Heather S. Roth @anthrolobo]

Learning how to use products for a newborn has given me even more appreciation for professions in #UX - effective copy and large text go a long way but a lot of these products may not be truly accessible for parents with disabilities #accessibility

[Syracuse University] "changed its mascot in 1978 from the “Saltine Warrior” to a gladiator, and then finally to the recognizable Otto the Orange....it was 'one of the first universities to use an Indian mascot; its adoption was rooted" [in a racist ideology of noble savagery].

[Heather S. Roth @anthrolobo]

It's time to #ChangeTheName - In support, I'll share some info and quotes from a paper I wrote in March 2016 that traces Indigenous activist efforts back to the late 1960s/1970s to change racist logos and mascots of US sports teams. Their struggle has a long history.

[In 1972] "A series of petitions, letters, and a student vote finally forced the President of Stanford to drop the “Indians” mascot." #ChangeTheName

“I can’t breathe.”

"You gotta take this mask off, dude. Please.”

“I can’t breathe. I can’t breathe. I can’t breathe.”

We found at least 70 people who died in police custody after saying “I can’t breathe” in the past decade. More than half were black. https://t.co/ZwQOKGjXei
