Decided I’m not calling them Copilots anymore. From here on out, I’m calling it all Microsoft Power Clippy.

Today I am thankful for pre-holiday break me who made a to-do list for today so I have some semblance of remembering what I need to accomplish this week.

He died as he lived, clicking “Forgot password,” then checking his inbox for a code, then putting in that code, then setting up two-step verification, and then waiting for the text message that doesn’t come, and then calling the 800 number, and then downloading an authenticator app, and dying.

As an accessibility specialist in the US I'm really interested in info about the European Accessibility Act (EAA) from the perspective of an EU accessibility professional. Please tag anyone who fits this bill and is posting/blogging/talking about the EAA from their POV! Please feel free to repost! 💙

Today is the International Day of Persons with Disabilities. My two reminders for the day: 1. Everyone will be disabled at some point in their lives, whether that is situational, temporary or permanent. 2. Accessibility makes the world better for everyone.

I'm debating about resurrecting my blog. The problem is I want to redesign some of it, and then I think that that would be a good blog series. And then I think I should do a whole personal branding identity redesign. And now I need a kanban board for my blog.

Bluesky tip for no reason in particular: There's a setting in the moderation settings section of your account that makes it so logged out accounts can't see your posts. If you have blocked some accounts for a reason, you should probably also go turn that on.

Hey gang, I'm putting together a feed on global disability rights... You can browse the posts or if you got to "about" you can find new folk to follow. Please share so we can find more folk outside of US/UK.

I, for one, am glad that my favorite Bird App account has made the jump to here. Sorry to all the people I know on here, but she's the GLOAT.

Fracturing disability communities may be one of EM’s most harmful legacies on Twitter. It’s taken a year for deaf scholars and community members to make their way to BlueSky. And our community is probably privileged in being able to switch. A good reminder that not everyone has that.

“…and by 2024, the pandemic was over.” “Oh wow, you managed to eradicate the virus?” “No, we just all decided to not care about it anymore.” “Wait, but I thought it was deadly. Did it stop killing people?” “No, people were still dying. We just decided to not care about them either.”

It's been 5 years since Google got rid of Inbox, which was the best app if you had to manage multiple gmail addresses, and I'm still mad about it.

I think before we get too caught up in what Bluesky should or shouldn’t be we should soberly acknowledge what it is: a retirement home for 2000s forum millennials
