I could write a whole bunch about Chris but I’ll keep it brief and let him give you his own version! Chris cares deeply about the work, not just how it can look good for today but how it enables for the future it can set up. Any team would be lucky to learn with and from him as a software engineer!

Hire Chris! He's such an absolutely phenomenal dev and very few people can communicate code and architecture as effectively.

Heard the latest news from the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA collaboration? We detected the collision of the most massive pair of black holes so far: #GW231123 weighing in at ~137 + ~103 times the mass of the Sun! So to celebrate, here’s a handy chart ✨ Just how chonky are these black holes? 🤔
An infographic titled "How BIG are the BLACK HOLES we find with GRAVITATIONAL WAVES?" by @astronerdika. The graphic displays a range of black hole masses detected via gravitational waves, categorized by their size in solar masses (mass of the Sun) and represented with playful cat-like black hole illustrations.

The categories from left to right are:

1. "<5 times the mass of the Sun"
- Labeled "smol"
- Very small black hole illustration represented by a curled up black cat
- Arrow pointing left: "THIS WAY TO NEUTRON STARS"
- Example: "Big component of GW230529 (~3.6 times the mass of the Sun)"

2. "~10 times the mass of the Sun"
- Labeled "basic"
- Slightly larger black hole cat illustration
- Caption: "LOTS OF BLACK HOLES"

3. "~35–45 times the mass of the Sun"
- Labeled "hefty"
- Bigger black hole cat illustration
- Continues the idea of a populated range

4. ">60 times the mass of the Sun"
- Labeled "chonky"
- Large black hole cat illustration
- Caption: "FORBIDDEN TERRITORY? (can these even be made from the collapse of star cores?!)"
- Example: "Components of GW190521 (~85 + ~66 times the mass of the Sun)"

5. ">100 times the mass of the Sun"
- Labeled "oh lawd"
- Very large, curled-up black hole cat illustration
- Arrow pointing right: "THIS WAY TO INTERMEDIATE MASS BLACK HOLES"
- Example: "Components of GW231123 (~137 + ~103 times the mass of the Sun)"

Below the categories is a stylized black curve representing the inferred population of black holes detected by LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA. It rises sharply in the "basic" range and falls off toward the "hefty" and "chonky" ranges, with a note reading:
"this curve is an artistic representation of the black hole population inferred by LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA."

This infographic draws from the “Chonky Cat” meme.

I've got ~8 years of experience ranging from internal apps, dev tools, CMS/e-commerce sites, and accessibility audits. I'm a framework + language generalist too. I know a few other oregon-based devs with front end/back end experience looking for work too.

In an unfortunate turn of events, I got hit by another non-performance based layoff exactly a year after the last one. Looking for a new front end, full stack, or accessibility role ASAP. I've mostly done remote, but would be open to Seattle or Portland based roles. Reposts appreciated.

Okay gang, those who sling HTML, CSS, JS, which _Firefox_ bugs are blocking you? Which features do you think need improving? What new features would you like to see? What work would you prioritise? Big or small, bonus points for linking to a bug (even more for filing bugs then linking them)!

Happy #TransDayOfVisibility! If you’re a dev who’s ever done web stuff and used NPM, and especially if you enjoyed NPM catching up to Yarn ca. ~2018. If you’re a Rust dev who’s used miette, big-brain, cacache. If you like KDL. Then you’ve benefited from the work of a trans person.

There's not enough good nonbinary jokes out there so I wrote one: What kind of sandwich can you make with two slices of nonbinary bread? 🍞 Depends on what's enby-tween them! #nonbinary #enby #jokes #IfYouKnowYouKnow #LGBTQJokes #NonbinaryJokes

When the ban first happened my friend asked "what app am I going to use for pebbling now" and that was the most accurate depiction of my feelings and how I use the app that I've heard.

Reminder that being able to turn off autoplay videos & gifs isn't just a data issue, it's an #accessibility one. The setting should be available regardless of WiFi vs data & definitely available on the desktop version of the app! Moving content can be a barrier for ppl w/ #ADHD & other #CogDis #a11y

📝 New post! `aria-label` and `aria-labelledby` aren't allowed on divs, spans, and other static text elements out of the box, and *most* screenreaders won't announce them. #accessibility #a11y

Don’t Use aria-label on Static Text Elements
Don’t use the aria-label or aria-labelledby attributes on divs, spans, or other elements representing static/noninteractive text-level semantics, unless you’re also updating roles.

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! 💙

Does anyone with a Moonlander use their "Platform" accessory? I'm considering transporting mine between 2 places and really don't want to have to manually re-adjust the tilt every time I do so.

Here's my question for you, whether you're in the #a11y field or another helping field: What's your relationship to work burnout been? Has it made you think differently about your work? Yourself? #taog-bookclub
