For what its worth, I'm in the most "safe" group of demographics: straight, cis, abled, and white. It's still none of a prospective employer's fucking business. I don't answer out of solidarity. ✊

I’m loath to share interviews with myself, but I really had a wonderful time sitting down with Ellen McGirt over at @designobserver.com. We spoke about my (too short) time at 18F, about responsive design turning 15, and about the urgent need for collective action — and, yes, unions — in tech.

I've seen SO MANY employer websites now asking if you're... - Gay - Trans - Disabled - Nonwhite I am NOT answering those. In the current political environment, they should NOT be asking that shit.

Also, our very own co-founder @tinavasquez.bsky.social has written this brilliant op-ed for @prismreports.org about the ICE raids in LA, and how communities are rising up to defend themselves. The Flytrap says FUCK ICE, to be absolutely clear. prismreports.org/2025/06/09/l...

I'm a believer in nonviolent resistance for moral reasons, and I think it can be incredibly powerful when well-planned and sustained, but don't tell me violence doesn't work. The people successfully rolling back my rights were sending bomb threats to children's hospitals.

The weird, often whitewashed way the civil rights movement is taught (or not taught) seemed to convince a lot of people that nonviolence was met with nonviolence, instead of you know, dogs, hoses, beatings, death, etc

There are so many scientific studies & articles warning about how dangerous COVID still is - I've yet to see a single one to support the conclusion that masks are unnecessary, or that there's no difference between the COVID Competent vs Mask Deniers in long term health.

One of the reasons I think “defund the police” is a great slogan is that you get to repeatedly tell people that studies show that police don’t actually solve murders, and in fact one-third of stranger-murders are committed by police.

Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year. The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year. Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.

THIS. Also, to just be horrified at the idea of the “Department of Homeland Security”. I literally said the word “Nazis” at the time. People born this century, there didn’t used to be a Department of Homeland Security.

As I’ve gotten older, one of the things that’s become painfully obvious to me is that men are just as emotional as women, but seem to have a greatly reduced capacity for actually regulating it. And their emotions often only come in one flavor: anger. It’s not biological. It’s culturally ingrained.
