iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Honestly, I listen to Up First (NPR's ~15 minute, 3 story podcast) in the mornings. And then I have the Associated Press app downloaded on my phone. They truly only send Breaking News alerts when it's actually a big deal, on average 1-2 a day, and the headline tells you all you need to know.

I keep telling people about the swiss cheese model of self care while some of my slices are actively failing. 🤷🏻‍♀️

What an odd course suggestion from Linkedin? Like I feel like there's definitely something else they could have recommended. Also congrats on 11 years!

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.

Same! I didn't love Mastodon. I also went through and deleted literally all my Tweets from Twitter like 18 months ago, so at least now they can't be used to train AIs. Sucks losing that content though.

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.
