Who knew I could label something "hot take" and it would actually be taken... hotly? [My LinkedIn post has broken containment. 😑]

Oof, the last of Leakey's Trimates, pioneering #WomenInSTEM

Points withdrawn for "moist"

I confess, I did not remember the second incisor. Somehow, though, I have never forgotten that fenestrated rostrum. 😁

Awww, memories of Mammalogy study on ADW. 🥰

👏👏👏 funnn!

I've committed to the bit of being the weirdo on the train boppin' her head and rockin' out all the way home. 😎🎧🎶

"AI" skills are basically just documentation and it says something about how documentation only gets resources and respect if it is framed as "technology". Which has gender bias all over it.

Seeing male devs complaining about AI slop PRs in their repos, and I'm like "oh, you don't like it when an overconfident but decidedly mediocre entity shows up and messes your shit up?"

I knew a guy whose email handle was (all together, no spaces) "it's been lovely but I have to scream now" and I've loved that every day since.

I'm pretty intense, but I feel like I'm kicking ass at my job...

I'm gonna go ahead and believe I'm kicking ass at my job.

It almost feels like it could be easier now that my role is not formally "Accessibility Specialist" anymore. Instead, I can model a11y interest and advocacy as an individual contributorawithout being crushed by the weight of ownership and expectation of all things a11y.

Inspired by a couple of today's #AxeCon talks to spark some life into our digital a11y community that exists only in an all-too-quiet Teams channel. 😊

Ah, thanks! I'm sure it would be helpful either way. My bigger challenge is penetrating the elite walled garden of Design to disseminate essential relevant content as a mere engineer. 😁

Lovely talk from @annaecook.com at #AxeCon. I wanna broadcast it across our internal design channels, or really everywhere. Repeatedly. I wish for all those great messages to percolate gently into everyone's psyche. *sigh* 👏 💙

Had to commute to the office today to satisfy RTO rules, but I'm watching #axecon videos all day. 🫠😩

The inability of "UX/UI" designers to say "I don't love how this looks, but it's what works best" and iterate from there...

Also just sat in on an office hours where an experience was being redesigned (for a "refresh", no other reason given) and there was a lot of discussion about whether the content that was in tabs could be moved to the side nav. It absolutely could, in that case. Explaining that was wild.

Like, I just saw a design system docs page with an accordion component listed under the "Navigation" section.

Accordions and Tabs are especially problematic. It feels like designers can be so afraid of new pages, they cram everything into these partial views, completely overloading the cognitive context for the user.

It is wild to me how much so-called 'single-page apps' have distorted or destroyed mental models around what is a "page" and what is "navigation" etc.

Not surprising from a historical perspective, at all. "Labor saving" technology never actually reduces the amount of work that people are expected to do. It increases it. That's because A) work is fundamentally a social relationship and B) technological innovation creates new problems to be fixed

Yup, ok.

So glad I removed the `title` recommendation from our icon library bc I was seeing way too much of this nonsense.

I cut my finger and broke a dish trying to salsa while making avocado toast this morning.

Que pena, Benito, hay algo de latina que me falta todavía.

Still just as useless in 2026
