Had my annual review and I'm very excited πŸ₯Ή Now to prep for this lunch 'n' learn on Web Accessibility Laws I'm presenting tomorrow to the team. πŸ™

Good morningβœŒοΈπŸ€

Hikari hangs out on the couch in 1 of 3 ways: 1. Asleep with one back leg hanging off the top of the couch. 2. Asleep and needs minimal physical contact. 3. 5pm Bird Watch Report #cats #elderlycat

the bluesky elders, always watching

Had a follow up today for my nerve test with the orthopedic specialist. Good news: not carpal tunnel Neutral news: Being referred over to clinical neurology πŸ₯΄

A question I think about a lot, thanks to Oliver Burkeman, is "What would it mean to be done for the day?" My experience is that the software industry wants to feel done, without asking what it means to be done.

Realized I've been doing some DesignOps things recently with this push away from XD. πŸ₯Ή

Pitched Penpot to the team as an alternative to Figma and our VP and devs seemed really excited that 1) its free. 2) it can be self hosted. So we're going to try it out in an upcoming smaller project on the cloud version first. πŸ₯Ή

Hikari lightly meowed at me until I woke up because food. It's 3am. Its food time. It's also next dose of meds time. Hates being given meds. Loves getting wet food after.

Recently I was asked, what's the difference between UX and UI design? My answer is, this:

This week's been shitty and its only Tuesday.

WCAG 3.0’s Proposed Scoring Model: A Shift In Accessibility Evaluation β€” Smashing Magazine #accessibility #a11y

Hikari had his new vet appointment yesterday. doc heard a light murmur. he also gained weight. ;-; So now we're back to timed feeding.. weight recheck in 3 months. Hoping that if we get his weight down, it'll help.

This week has gone by too quickly, I swear

Taking my time to work on my annual review and gathering info on comparable salaries to submit with it. What's wild to me is the area I live in has a Big Store HQ and the entry level positions for what I do start at almost double what I make currently. 🫣

the number of times i was told i did not really want a simple chronological feed

What if morning stand ups were lead like a D&D campaign?

When it's lunch time and I'm working from home, Hikari either sleeps or stares at me until he gets pets.

Just when I thought Hikaro was being a good bean and settling in... He tore apart one of my sister's flowers 🫠

Moved in yesterday. Hikari seems to be doing OK. He likes being under my sister's bed.

Uhaul packed. Everything I'm taking in my own car will be loaded in the morning. One of my shins hurt lol

Hi! Are you a US researcher who spent time thinking about humans? Then your work is in danger of censorship and loss. I'm here to walk you through basic self-archiving. Maybe you think I am being hyperbolic. You only worked on bacteria! Not your problem. Do me a favor and join me anyway.

The main road for me to get to work tomorrow is down to 1 lane from flood water.. Meanwhile, people were out on it jet skiing earlier. πŸ’€

Went through clothes and misc things to donate. Pretty much just have larger things to pack/take apart. πŸ₯΄ Tomorrow's gonna be shreddin' day.

I make memes to get through the day.

Been paying attention to my right hand the past few months and finally saw my doctor about it.. being referred over to a hand specialist. Dr said the numbness / prickly feeling in my thumb & index finger might be from my neck but start with the hand specialist. 🫠

If you are interested in cognitive biases, I got a treat for you. I've partnered with Smashing Conference and will run a free online session webinar on how cognitive biases impact user research and teams. Details: Thursday, April 10, 2025, 18:00- 19:30 CET. smashingconf.com/online-works...

Keep thinking I got a lot of stuff until I move another box out of my room.

THEM: If it was important, you'd remember ME: [has ADHD] I frequently forget that close friends of mine exist

Got told not to put time researching or getting comfortable with specific platforms when it's tied to specific projects only to be told 5 weeks later that's actually what we are supposed to do.. Make it make sense.

Can I come over and sacrifice you to the ancient gods?

EXODUS Handbook arrived in the early hours this morning πŸ‘€

More packing again this weekend. Tackling all the wall art and art supplies. Found some really old sketchbooks that are partially filled in the back of my closet. 🫣

Just realized both @razberrypi.bsky.social and I are moving within 2 weeks of each other to new places. Gonna try to get most of my packing done before the 5th so we can hang out before I move πŸ‘

πŸ₯ΉπŸ’– I love yapping about anime with you. Can you believe it's been almost 4 years since we started weekly anime nights? 😭

It’ll make your day better!

Applied for the apartment earlier today. πŸ™

A couple of recent favourite work things: - the more I talk about accessibility & throw in feedback during testing, the more it's getting included in scopes. - Our designer swings by my desk to ask about different tools to use. When I started 1yr ago, no one talked about accessibility testing.

The coolest thing I’ve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025. This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.
