Sometimes I'm like, "so what you're really saying is..." Then I need to remind myself this man is probably a speck of dust at this point

It’s almost midnight on a Thursday and I’m happily sipping on red wine while reading and taking notes on Fink’s Taxonomy of Significant Learning. Little Ashlee would love knowing what a nerd we become.

I wonder just how significantly anti-friction perspectives in (agile) software engineering have influenced the negative connotations of friction in (web) accessibility.

I'm learning how to use Blender because I just started playing House Flipper and want to create custom objects. I made a coffee mug!

Different platforms have different character limits. This one’s is 2000. Just copy/paste the text if it’s like this one, and if it’s too long, you can crop the image into more parts to break up the text. 🙂

Mitch McConnell disappeared for three months & kept his full salary. Disabled people are forced to prove they’re “still disabled” just to remain in legislated poverty. Folks on SNAP must re-apply and prove they’re “still poor”. Republican Senators don’t even have to prove they’re alive.

We want to live. More than pay bills and survive. We want to THRIVE! Just like many nondisabled people get to strive for, but without a million hoops and barriers! We WANT to be economically active! Come on! Anyone who thinks otherwise doesn’t know a thing about us. 2/

The term “sickfluencers” was created by ableist bullies, not disabled or chronically ill people. How are we disabled people getting hate for a term or “trend” we didn’t even come up with?? We don’t even call it a “trend” either. 1/

The Venn diagram of anti-vaxxers, transphobes, and chronic illness denialism is a circle. They all have one thing in common, and it's *slightly* more specific than 'bigotry'. Every thought process ends in an Appeal to Nature fallacy.

I’m not mad, bc I know it’s a biz, and my health team deserves their pay in order to live. But I’m still sad I have to get a new therapist eventually. My account was sent to collections. It’ll never be the same. I’ve saw her from the end of 2019. The biggest things in my life happened since then.

There is something so frustrating about watching basically every staff sports writer completely mangle this story about transphobia in the WNBA, while so many trans journalists who would do a great job (and who have been pitching stories about this!) are struggling to get hired and make ends meet.

Life after loss is so fking weird. Even as I continually live through it. Like what do mean I lose all bearings at a moment’s notice? What do you mean I have a monthly existential crisis?

Knowing how rejection sensitive dysphoria works is cool and all until you worry so much that you’ve triggered it for someone else that you retreat and isolate, thus increasing the risk of triggering it for someone else

We are not flooded but neighborhoods around ours are. It's NUTS to see the White River so high. This city has been developed almost as if there were no river, except in a few spots, and those places are now underwater. The road by the restaurant *by the mall* where we ate last Saturday is gone. 🌊

I tried the first version of a remarkable many years ago but didn’t love it and couldn’t justify the price. I‘m sure the tech has improved a lot since then! I have an ipad and apple pencil I like. But the app I like most for writing is procreate and it’s a battery drainer. 😂

My struggle as a neurodivergent reader of scholarly materials is that Zotero helps me stay organized but it's also SO HARD for me to read and annotate using a device. On one hand... I need to print it out, but on the other hand... I need my notes to be organized and searchable. 😅

🔇 🔇 🔇 My book, Deep Unlearning, is now available for preorders! I don't know how people write so many books because this one took a lot out of me. It turns out, I had a lot to say 😂, with editors cutting out 50k of my words 🫣 ✴️ You can now preorder it at www.simonandschuster.com/books/Deep-U....
Cover of my new book, Deep Unlearning: The Rise of AI and The Radicalization of a Tech Idealist. 

There are two concentric circles in the book, the left being circuits in black an white, and the right being a bunch of dots with orange accents. The cover background is cream. And the words are written in black except for "Un" which is in orange.

CC’s game-losing flop, which happened right after A'ja Wilson’s incredible block that led to Chelsea Gray’s SECOND buzzer-beater three-pointer that won the game by 2 points. I wonder how many Clarkasians called congress. 🤣
