It has been a wild month already, I started a new job, we got a new car (EV) and sold our old one (my first bought and paid off, but also gas guzzler), and the lil one started a new school. New things all around!

First day complete at the new job, working as a Sr Software Developer Engineer in Test within the Accessibility team at BECU (Boeing Employee Credit Union). Lots to learn but it feels so good to be part of an accessibility team again!

Spent my two days not working getting a new car (Hyundai Ioniq 9) and also getting my old car serviced, so a lot of time sitting in lobbies of car dealerships.

Well it's official, today was my last day as the Web Accessibility Lead at ITHAKA. It's all so bittersweet, I learned a lot being the lone accessibility person within an org, both about myself and this profession. I'm very much looking forward to my next thing, but for now gonna enjoy my time off.

Hi friends, we’re running a user research study on how PDFs and images are accessed on JSTOR. We’re looking to speak with people who: - regularly use screen readers (JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, etc.) - have experience using JSTOR or similar platforms (e.g., academic databases, publisher sites)

During today's all-staff I gave a demo of what it might be like for someone to use a screen reader while navigating our product's website. For some, this was the first time experiencing assistive technology in this way, and the org's president admitted that it "blew his mind".

Looks like the admin is pushing out the new rule change of Title II of ADA another year, likely to give them more time to fully de-teeth it or roll it back altogether public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-07663.pdf

If I were a congressional legislator, or aspiring to be one, I would simply tell voters each day that Trump has raised the cost of gas, food, housing by serious margins just by daily blunder. And I would tie anyone refusing to check his power as party to those blunders. List the numbers, name names.

I have an accessibility joke but you can't focus on it.

Loved this episode! Since I'm an audio listener of the podcast I fortunately didn't have to visually see these horror memories of my childhood, but unfortunately just the sounds brought back so many unhinged pranks my sis and I played on each other with these...toys

For a long time, I thought the modern history of Iran began with the CIA overthrowing Mossadegh and installing the Shah in the early 50s. But the tragedies of that poor country go back much further. Read “An American Martyr in Persia” by Reza Aslan for an excellent introduction.

So let’s think about this. A private company refused - on principle - to yield to the government’s demands. The government then cancelled its contracts with the company and has set about destroying it

Other countries are arresting people on the Epstein list, America decided to make its most frequent flier its president and is now going to give him a war with Iran as a distraction. This is not a serious country.

Definitely St John's bridge, or as my daughter likes to call it "liberty bridge" (because of it being green like the statue of Liberty 😅). Best part of the STP bike ride coming across that bridge.
