work: design & accessibility justice in tech | play: music |

@dburka I’d love to work on fixing public-facing UIs for government services and utilities, creating cool UIs for scientific research, or working for a university. Would do it now but have to save up first to afford that, with my coastal CA sized bills.

So stoked on this project with my work hero
@stacylondoner
An example of making cool fun dynamic things that are still accessible. 💥

[Stu Smith @stuthesmith]

So incredibly proud of this work from @stacylondoner & @dotnic for @trello! This was an amazing design/eng collaboration to ship something that was beautiful, but didn't skimp on #a11y.

@jaymboller A friend who used to work at America’s Test Kitchen told me that their most popular recipes/articles were always basic egg things like how to properly boil or poach one. I will never forget that.

@ClaireMPLS Right?? After someone pointed that out to me I couldn’t unhear it and now i just can not

This tweet is giving me LIFE this week ❤️

Given how front and center design is these days, I am still shocked that there is no “code of conduct” or guide to ethical design principles. I had my students write the Designers “Hippocratic Oath” and am sort of in love with what they came up with!

"Human nature has some issues that you can't just engineer away. Refusing to question consequences leads to blind optimism...because you didn’t ask, the implications are way worse than if you’d taken time to talk about what might happen." @mulegirl 🙌https://t.co/yhxWdsMyja

Google fired the Thanksgiving Four for organizing at work.

We're calling on:

1. Others to offer jobs to the Thanksgiving Four
2. Those remaining @Google to speak out against this draconian act. This is meant to scare workers, don't let it.

retweet BART pony for good luck

[BART @SFBART]

This mini horse is a service animal, and the owner provided paperwork to a station agent stating so. After consultation (station agents usually don’t see horses), the horse was allowed in.

Trained service animals assisting people w/ disabilities and on leash are welcome on BART

"I'm not really into politics. Anyway, let me tell you how much I hate my job, my boss, my landlord, my shitty health insurance, my student loans, my town's public transportation and the fact that I come home too tired to do anything after work every day."

The song "Summer" by Calvin Harris may be about an impermanent blossoming of summer love, but it is also a celebration of vocal fry

This is big.

That pesky 9th District Court just ruled in Robles v Domino’s that the ADA applies to web sites.

Courts can now order companies to make their sites WCAG 2.0 compliant.

I really hope (most of) these come true. ✌️💖
