Kai and I are watching a movie tonight. #stargate ftw. So good. This movie came out when I was 9… which feels weird, but probably just means I’m old. It came out 30 years ago, and feels closer to reality than… reality. Is that weird? Seems weird.

Why is it so difficult to get support @NETGEAR? I buy the best one on the market an ago, and now it no bueno, and no response on my ticket. Wazzupp?

For most of my time on the Tigers beat, Twitter followers seemed to rely on me for weather forecasts. That was only because I found the Dark Sky app -- a weather app WAY ahead of its time -- before those fans did. But it was @JustinVerlander who introduced it to me and others.

So as a dad with two littles, I’d love if someday my kids were interested in careers in digital #a11y. That would be so cool. Does anyone have any recommendations on having conversations with kids about this career field?

[Nate Evans @nateevans]

Yes!

Honestly, the best way to start dipping your toes into accessibility is to pick one thing and do it consistently. Can you always put alt text in tweets? Can you always run the accessibility checkers in MS Office? Can you remember to turn captions on in Zoom? Start anywhere! 😁

Yo @tacobell your wait times for online pickup are bad

[Nate Evans @nateevans]

Holy crap. “Don’t look up” makes me feel like I’m in the twilight zone. The silver lining is being reminded of love for my @michiganstateu peeps

[Nate Evans @nateevans]

Eh, game devs: what software and training would you recommend for a 10 year old interested in game design and development?

It has been funny to me watching commentators and podcasters trying to say, "Galaxy-Z-Flip-3-5G" at every commercial break.

To my friends and colleagues sending their kiddos back to school right now: Be grace-filled to yourself, and compassionate to others. It’s ok that it’s not ok, let's just do the best that we can. That’s good enough.

Note to self: Remember to switch off dark appearance mode in Big Sur before checking color and contrast 😬

Also, you made me LOL with the @kseofficial comment. love it

[Nate Evans @nateevans]

Great preso @ShellELittle. I appreciated how much work you put into data gathering, and the way you presented it. Super helpful, thank you

[A11yTalks @A11YTalks]

Remember to save the date: July 28 at 3pm ET for a live discussion with @ShellELittle on The Fatal Flaw of Overlays.
We’ll discuss how overlays will never be the answer and the importance of accessible, inclusive, and usable designs. #A11yTalks

@kate_sonka @CALMSU Congrats!

I am lucky to work alongside such amazing colleagues, and am excited to share this “year in review” story about the closed captioning crowdsourcing program @michiganstateU https://t.co/UMc4j3mSnL

@nicknoel721 I know exactly what you’re talking about. In retrospect, I can look back now and see the professional shifts as positive, but in the moment, it was super scary. To Joe and Regina’s point, looking back for me It’s been cumulative, adding new skills i go along.

[Nate Evans @nateevans]

@ShellELittle 😬🤦🏻‍♂️good luck!
