Question: Where are people hanging out to talk about building work cultures and processes that embrace neurodiverse designers? If you don't know where, if you're interested in this conversation, let me know. #uxdesign #neurodiversityintech #neurodiversityatwork #designops

Mr Biden,
I need you to stand up, straighten your back and make some things shake before your departure

Kamala Harris is the best candidate for the economy BY FAR. Her policies are thoughtfully crafted to help small businesses and the middle class. Trump's policies are half-baked and will put heavy burden on the middle class, while straining relations with trade partners.

[Vice President Kamala Harris Archived @VP46Archive]

Small businesses bring joy and opportunity to our communities. I am proud that under our Administration, we’ve seen the three strongest years of small business growth on record.

@ScooterCasterNY Thank you for reporting this, @ScooterCasterNY . Wondering why this tragedy is not all over the news today!

As a little kid, adults would often ask me, “Why are you angry? You look angry!”

It would happen so frequently that it thoroughly agitated me to have to deny emotions I wasn’t experiencing all the time, so ironically I would angrily respond, “I’m not angry! You’re angry!” 😆

All it takes is an #earthquake in #nyc to wake me from a months-long Twitter slumber

[Sandra Lloyd 🌴🥥 (she/her) @sandblasta]

@timothysykes @sttbreakingnews Confirmed anecdotally: Grew up in CA, and what I felt here in Brooklyn was definitely an #earthquake . Also, news reports should be out by now with Richter Scale readings.

[Sandra Lloyd 🌴🥥 (she/her) @sandblasta]

Surprisingly large and long-lasting #earthquake here in Brooklyn just now. The kind of quake I’m used to growing up in LA; didn’t know NY was capable of these. Fracking? Climate change?

[Sandra Lloyd 🌴🥥 (she/her) @sandblasta]

@zeldman Yup. Surprisingly large and lasted a while— this is the kind of quake I’m used to from growing up in LA; not NY.

Just reading about Althea Gibson. Wow, what a badass. Spread the word. https://t.co/ShOOVl4TM9 . Never too early to get ready for #BlackHistoryMonth !

@OberandOut Saaaaaad!!! Well, although I’ll have to find another addiction, thank you for making the existing episodes and sharing your experience. It’s been cathartic, to say the least! If you change your mind and decide to do another season, my peeps and I will be right on it! :)

[Sandra Lloyd 🌴🥥 (she/her) @sandblasta]

Dear @OberandOut , I have recently developed a healthy addiction to your Loudest Girl in the World podcast…so of course I binged all the episodes and have no more left… 😰Please make more! 😊

[Sandra Lloyd 🌴🥥 (she/her) @sandblasta]

@SquarespaceHelp It appears that Squarespace no longer offers live customer support chat anymore. But the chatbot didn't get the memo. Please update the chatbot so that people aren't left waiting for hours. #waitingforgodot #customerexperience

If you're reading this and you haven't yet voted, go vote! Today's the last day. You'll be so glad you did - regardless of the outcome. You're doing great -- now turn off the twitter and off you go! 🤩🇺🇸🇺🇸🤩😍

@duolingo My question: is @duolingo aware of the myriad nontrivial bugs this update has introduced, & is fixing them top priority? Many users’ progress reset too far ahead, now they’re stuck. Waiting 2c if Duolingo fixes this in a week. If not, cancelling subscription.

[Sandra Lloyd 🌴🥥 (she/her) @sandblasta]

@enflora1 @duolingo Same here! I really hope Duolingo is actually listening to users and has dedicated the resources to fixing these critical bugs that are stopping users from using their app.

[Sandra Lloyd 🌴🥥 (she/her) @sandblasta]

@duolingo Since the 11/1 #duolingoupdate, all of the grammar tips in Russian disappeared completely. (They used to be only available on the web app, but now are nowhere to be found.) Please fix this bug asap - Russian is hard enough without grammar lessons!

[Sandra Lloyd 🌴🥥 (she/her) @sandblasta]

Feeling proud of myself…

A message I want to share with adults who work with #ADHD kids is: pushing them the way that you push neurotypical kids harms them for life.

Here’s what I mean.

When I start working clinically with an adult who has ADHD, one of the first things we do /1

@vcastillo630 SF is one of the few US cities that has Burmese restaurants--and they're also really good! So definitely eat Burmese food while you're there. Burma Superstar and Mandalay are awesome.
