Totally possible, and of course they'll be better if those AI tools are made for, and better yet by, disabled users!

My gripe is directed towards those developers and PMs who won't do the basic a11y testing or development, and now use "AI tho" as an excuse for their ablelist behavior 👀

The people demanded that I make more videos for @chromium.social. Coming this fall, a girl who cannot toss popcorn to save her life.

Docs love is the truest love. Thank you!

"The sun might not come out. It might not come out tomorrow, and it might not come out the next day, and it might not come out ever again. And if you don’t think that’s true, then watch the movie musical about all the orphans who didn’t get adopted."

I want to read this but Time Out ALWAYS crashes on mobile! In Chrome and Safari, I keep trying! Any chance you know who I could send feedback to?

are there any doctors on here, is it technically possible to die of popcorn overdose

Of course!!! There’s a thousand other things that could have been said, couched in kindness and care, that may have helped you prepare for the future.

I have a looooot of assumptions as to the type of person (which is probably unfair). All I know is they couldn’t do what you do, not even CLOSE.

I am so sorry that was said to you. That’s unnecessary and hurtful and not at all “feedback.”

It’s wild how people assume “I went to your talk and listened to you, so now you should listen to me about how I was personally affected.”

Truly one of the most beautiful and haunting essays I’ve read.

My favorite part was getting to pretend I'm an old timey actor getting taken off the stage.

Really hoping folks chuckle as much as I did when writing dad jokes. 👨

I can’t imagine what the rat paid for its seat in the front row.

Never have I ever seen a rat run up the center aisle at a Broadway show.

However, I have now seen it on the West End.

I’ve been thinking about this nonstop for 24 hours. It’s one of the most beautiful pieces I’ve ever read.

Are rick rolls still funny? Asking for a friend.

My first year in New York, a man asked me out for “seafood.” Fancy, I thought.

No. He meant THIS Red Lobster.

I’ve always been one to do it for the bit. The date was awful, the food and the company. When leaving, he went in for a kiss. I said, “Midwesterners don’t kiss on the first date.”

Once again. Dying. Dead. Deceased.

“And then I paused. Wait. Why am I thinking about the POPE cleaning up his timelines?”

Dying, dead, deceased.

Highly recommend using wax instead of tape for the cleanest lines, like they do for batik!

One LAST thing, I promise.

Teen Vogue does great work, and this piece does examine the crisis of individual versus corporate responsibility. My fist to the sky is about the larger conversation and misplaced blame.

Okay okay one more thing. Saying Gen Z “claims to care about sustainability but then uses ChatGPT” is very “Millennials eat avocado toast instead of trying to be financially responsible.”

Y’all, stop blaming young people for the circumstances they’ve been forced into.

As @bandarra.me and I discuss *all the time*, it’s a giant factory of machinery up against screw driver problems — they’re not so simple they could be solved without help, but the tools needed are smaller, MUCH less expensive, and often even better equipped to solve the problem you have.

On one hand, individuals can take responsibility for our climate impact, especially when the current government is stripping protections.

On the other, it’s giving the 2000s “stop using plastic straws”. Real impact will come from major companies making choices about responsible model usage.

Many of my friends stopped using search because they can’t find the information they’re looking for anymore—there are devastating climate impacts. But you can’t blame the user for trying to solve a problem with the tools that are available to them.

Brooklyn bus stop ads being replaced with guerilla public service announcements.

We’re all going to die. Brooklyn’s Green-Wood Cemetery wants you to get comfortable with it. This Sunday, activities at the park will explore the uncomfortable truths of mortality.

Is Green-Wood Cemetery reading my writing? Either way, I’m in, @gothamist.com gothamist.com/news/were-al...

For years, I've been thinking about digital death, and what happens to myself online when I die. I've shut down accounts across networks, deleted all social apps from my phone. With that, I've lost connections to ghosts of people I loved. medium.com/@alexandraw/...

I was asked by another laid off Googler if I knew Adam, if I read this blog, and all I could think to say is that he is incredibly kind, patient, thoughtful, and all of the adjectives you can think of when you think of your favorite people.

I don't understand this. I'll never understand this.

Adam is the brightest, most authentic, inspiring, truly creative, high performing, deeply passionate, and nice person I have ever worked with.

And then my employer decided to terminate his role.

I am gutted and sick to my stomach.

I will miss you, my friend 💔
