New year year, exciting news, y’all! In November I started a new gig at Electronic Arts to help with the Fan Growth Design System and infrastructure. Special thanks to @kathryng.bsky.social for the interview prep, and the countless number of people in my network for the support.

If anyone wants to know why it took me so long or why my account is still in place on Twitter, it's because I don't feel comfy going into bubbles and not witnessing the shifts right now. I also don't want my name/account to get leveraged in my absence. These "news platforms" got us to this moment.

So we chose the harder path forward AGAIN… Only this time, the most vulnerable won’t be the only ones to suffer under the yoke of white supremacy… Maybe THIS time the Coalition of the Wounded will decide, once and for all, that we get there TOGETHER or not at all 🫶🏾

“We’re told the future of tech is coming, and it is fixed. […] And if we don’t want to be erased by it, we in design systems must address ourselves now to building the mechanisms and rules of whatever automated systems will emerge for creating products. “ Great read by @jovo.design

Leaning on “generally accepted” practices does not prioritize the marginalized communities. If innovation is going to happen, why not start there?

Bluesky was happy to use Aveta to enrich their network with incredible people. She worked day and night to bring people in for the culture, doing intros, onboarding. She actively led through multiple issues of harassment. But when it came time to LISTEN to her, to show up for her, this is it? 💔

“…we know that we’ll be unable to create the perfect environment for everyone” This is where many get it wrong, finding themselves running in circles…we should NOT be designing/building anything for everyone, it’s impossible, but we can prioritize the most vulnerable which means everyone benefits

Why is this, Bluesky? Can you give some insight, @emily.bsky.team? It’s not cool that our most marginalized community is feeling unsafe and is being deprioritized.

A Design Systems Carnival — where no less than six speakers joined the presentation. In costume. My React Miami Conf talk is live, y’all!

Kathleen McMahon - Design Systems are a Carnival! One Accessible Component, Many Pretty Masks
Design Systems are a Carnival! One Accessible Component, Many Pretty Masks at React Miami 2023 Design System components are like guests at a Venetian Carnival, enjoying the festivities. One guest in particular — the disclosure widget — is known for wearing three distinct masks and elevates a Carnival into the most exclusive Masquerade Ball. Or… is it? What kind of Carnival are you attending if those masks get mixed? In this talk, you’ll learn the secret to creating a reusable — and accessible — component that can masquerade as many, and give your component library access to the most exclusive of Carnival attractions. React Miami is the Ultimate React Conference On the Planet with Top Leading Experts educating, endless fun and Networking. Attended by 500 React Enthusiasts in the best tech city of America. All React Miami Speaker Recordings are made possible by 8base. 8base is the first full-stack Low Code built for JavaScript developers. 8base handles all the work you don't want to, so you can have fun coding again. 👉 Try 8base today: https://www.8base.com/?utm_source=React+Miami\u0026utm_medium=sponsorship\u0026utm_campaign=try+8base\u0026utm_content=live+stream Powered by https://jswordconference.com - https://www.g2i.co/ and https://passionatepeople.io #reactmiami2023 #jsworld #jsworldconference #javascript #reactjs #angular #react #vuejs #vue #vue3 #typescript #graphql #jamstack #amsterdam #conference #svelte #sveltejs #next #nextjs #staticsite #css #html #tech #programming #reactmiami

Happy Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD), Bluesky. I know many of you are familiar with alt text for images and why it's use is important.There many other issues that are also just important when it comes to digital accessibility that you probably aren't aware as they aren't as visible 1/
