Good luck, congratulations on the new role!

what legal recourse do artists and museums have against international militaries stealing and using our work to commit warcrimes, since apparently that's a conversation we need to have now.

Happy Friday, Dr Shane.
I hope you enjoyed a lovely coffee this morning and you are somewhere enjoying the sunshine too.

Times are tough for everyone I think.
Daily I have the goal of applying to a min of 3 jobs, and spending at least an hour teaching myself typescript & automated testing.

Today I’m taking the time to reset, recharge & paint in the garden. It’s amazing what some fresh air & creative freedom does.

I’m glad you made it safe, I hope you can find a coffee to make it through easier.

Enough people said they wanted to see the final slide deck, so I took the time to put it on my non-teacher github so I could share it. I didn't end up getting in trouble. I ended up being encouraged by a colleague to share it with my dept chair, and he liked it

We’re collecting questions ahead of time to help shape the conversation around games accessibility.

I love Kojima's creative mind. I truly do. But disabled people once again are disconnected from what will be
GOTY because it lacks most of the basics of accessibility. Too often 95% of GOTY contenders over the past decade barely have any thought to accessibility.

I’m sorry. I’m heart broken for you and the team in reading the update email and posts.

Oh this is so wrong! I’m sorry Leena. I wonder if there might be a class action soon.

Today I*

Today a took a break from job hunting to try baking GF & Vegan friendly lemon and almond lamingtons -super easy and yummy!

I’m not GF or vegan, but I think it’s important that everyone feels welcome and included in my home.
It feels good to be making something that makes others happy.

Happy Tuesday to you too, may you have enough coffee to get you through the meeting(s) of the day :)

It is a clear night for some star gazing from the backyard.

The cruise sounds lovely, I hope you enjoyed it. I’m sorry that you caught covid, and hope you feel better soon.

Great to see regulatory precedents being set for accessibility overlay companies overstating their capabilities.

If you’re not not familiar with overlays @heydonworks.bsky.social has the BEST explainer:

Thank you Elliot, I hope you have also enjoyed some downtime too :)

Bonus points: we’re also almost up to date with household chores!

We’ve got this!

I may not have found a new role yet, since being made redundant, but I have;

-had a magical Christmas w my partner,
-reconnected w loved ones,
-resumed queued personal creative projects,
-started making the needed updates to my website portfolio,
-started a safe exercise routine.

And I am happy.

I haven’t played that yet, I’ve heard it’s fun!

I’m curious, what were some party games that others loved as a kid?
Musical statues and pass the parcel were mine.

this is beautiful 🫡

Some #gamedev #accessibility tips for monochromatic colourblindness! My husband is entirely colourblind and I have learned through zem that many games are not accessible if you can't see the colours at all! So here's what you can do to change that 🧵

Even a task list /quest log helps. I struggle to enjoy a game if I don’t remember what I was doing- I struggle with short term memory. Elden Ring in particular was a nightmare.

Good morning, today is going to beautiful!
Woke to coffee + NPRs tiny desk concert with my partner. I have my snowmen earrings in & the bus driver waited for me today.
Life is good.
