We'll see you in December. Looks like we're heading to a runoff in Georgia, based on analysis of precinct data heroically scraped by @ilana_marcus and @christinezhang et al.

Best guess: Warnock makes it to 49.5

Impostor syndrome: “I don't know what I'm doing. It's only a matter of time until everyone finds out."

Growth mindset: "I don't know what I'm doing yet. It's only a matter of time until I figure it out."

The highest form of self-confidence is believing in your ability to learn.

Next time you're the designated note taker for a Zoom meeting, a handy phrase from an 11th-century Jewish court clerk in Old Cairo:

"Then they said a lot of things that would take too long to explain" (وجرت بينهم خطوب يطول شرحها)

Here's what happens when you post a photo with no alt text on Twitter, because I think some of you don't understand what I have to do in response. First, it depends on what device I'm looking at it. 1/

Israeli Prime Minister Bennett has told COP26 organizers to fix wheelchair access to the main venue or he’s not coming tomorrow. Israel’s Energy Minister Karine Elharrar, who has muscular dystrophy, was unable to attend Monday’s event because of it.

We need a Car Talk show for #a11y where people call in with #a11y problems and the hosts diagnose them but pepper everything with bad jokes, puns, and general silliness. Who is going to volunteer?

[Jon Avila @JonAvilaA11y]

Teachers - please follow inclusive design for learning and create inclusive materials - rather than just accommodation individuals students. Many students have hidden disabilities or no disability that benefit from inclusive materials. #a11y

🧵5/9 Yes, “women’s health” is "reproductive health” but it is SO 👏 MUCH 👏 MORE 👏 - studying cardiovascular health, metabolic health, biomechanics etc in people assigned female at birth can prevent misdiagnosis, make medicine more precise & help all people lead healthier lives

[adyn @adynhealth]

🧵1/9 Women’s health is more than reproductive health. Ignoring this fact perpetuates a medical research gap that has persisted for decades and has caused needless suffering. But how do medical research gaps happen in the first place? Here are the facts.
