Oooof. Incredibly heavy meds drop today. Go lay in a dark quiet place and ride it out. Zzzzz.

Alma Bowman is a 58 year old disabled woman who spent 30 months in ICE detention witnessing atrocities against women. When released, she worked with the government as a whistleblower to raise awareness of the inhumane practices in detention centres. Now ICE has her again 🧵

While I’m thinking about it. Anyone fancy a Pitch for an article about learning Mario Kart World? My friend helped me get started with it over the weekend & there’s a good story there on the accessibility side… but also a nice way to frame a basics tutorial / explainer for a broader audience :)

Has anyone got any cognitive accessibility or motor accessibility questions about the Switch 2? I’m writing up my first impressions now so it’s a great time to ask me stuff 🕹️ Much woosh :)

I love some of the subtle stuff on the new @ermiltd.bsky.social website (ermitm.com) For example… various flag graphics around the site all blow the same way. The site has a canonical wind direction and speed… left crosswind, 15knots. We’ve applied it to all the icons + graphics 🎉🤣

This is a fever dream. The city is not under migrant occupation. This whole thing kicked off because ICE began an intense operation across the city to raid Home Depots and nail salons and places where random undocumented immigrants might be going about their day working a job.

Listen to Morgan. They are on the ground and a tremendously good human. To quote Andor ‘power doesn’t panic’. From the outside this looks like Trump and his goons panicking. They know they don’t have the numbers to enforce their bullshit the moment community stands up for thier rights.

Bill Atkinson is one of my heroes. ‘Making art on a computer’ simply would not have been the same without this man. The experience of using a web browser, even, is inspired by his work. Thanks Bill. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/07/t...

I know one thing. If I were a young blonde, white woman, and a police officer shot me ON CAMERA, my settlement would be large enough to have its own itemized line on LA's yearly budget.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

I’m playing with a few 3D printed ideas to help support the Switch 2 when I’m gaming in a reclined position :) I’ve found a well placed plushie also helps… Experimenting around all the barriers to see what we can do. Planning lots of Lego Star Wars on it today :)

I’ve had a Switch 2 a few days and it’s been interesting. Really enjoyed it for Mario Kart World + Worms with friends. Especially docked to the TV with a wired pro controller. Struggling a little with it in handheld mode tho. Hands go numb really fast. Need to experiment with positions. :)

Had a really fun weekend hanging out with friends. Movement is really getting good. Walked around town 2 days in a row and I can mostly feel my feet this morning! Life feels very good right now. Surreal even. :)

A new study shows ADHD is not be coming more common, but that greater awareness and acceptance are likely to be encouraging more people to seek help. This is undoubtedly the same for autism. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Ooooo, love it when multiple things come along at once. Looks like I’ve got two, maybe three events interested in chatting about the AAU (Augmentative & Alternative Underwear) stuff I wrote about a few weeks ago. Potentially a podcast episode with someone too. That’s exciting :)

Eeee. I blogged :) I was asked about burnout at an eventing & it reminded me of this thread from a few weeks ago I figured it would be a good time to turn it into a proper blog post that goes a little deeper than the thread did. Hope it’s useful :) spacedoutandsmiling.com/blog/2025-06...

I quite often take a Wednesday as a ‘weekend day’ when I can. It’s been to busy to do it recently (I’ve been working 6/7 days a week!)… but now stuffs a little slower I can start doing it again :) It’s inspired by this video from CGP Grey: youtu.be/ALaTm6VzTBw?...

If you wanted to play with someone, you had to bike to their house and knock on the door to see if they were home and not busy.

For most of the list I totally agree with Joanne. Walking. That’s a weird one. A huge number of people hold of mobility aids a really long time and it doesn’t really achieve anything. Mobility tech is pretty amazing. It makes my world bigger. It took me way too long to embrace the tools I needed.

So so busy today. Much nerdy things. Kinda bouncy and proud cause i managed a walk to AlDI and back to get some lunch things. Nom Though blushing a little as I also locked myself out and needed to go collect some backup keys to get back in. Taking it as a win :)

When it comes to homophobes and transphobia, ironically, my position is "love the sinner, hate the sin" because once you hate the person that becomes one more person you can't reach out across the aisle to, start a dialogue with, and lure into the gay-o-tron homoconversion pridestation.
