Celebrating the Year of Snake with this enormous floral snake!

There are multiple folks working on collecting the data that's being deleted & finding accessible repositories for it, such as Internet Archive, a KFF project, etc. @healthjournalism.org is doing this as well. If you have data you can share, pls email andrea at healthjournalism.org

What an honor to join the show!! Thank you @marinahascoffee.bsky.social for inviting me back to Quest Markers, now with 100% more video 🎮

I had the BEST time chatting with my friend @rhapsodyin.blue for @questmarkers.bsky.social last night. She graciously shared her expertise from working in video game localization, and helped us launch our show in video format! If you check this one out, hope you enjoy ☕

Happy 5th "Large boulder the size of a small boulder" anniversary! #Geology ⚒️

today is the first day in the last 2ish weeks that we haven’t awoken to howling Santa Ana winds, and haven’t feared for the safety our home, and I am a puddle of goo

Too much fear and trauma is paralyzing! And some of us very much need to stay ready and able to fight or run. That means we post every goddam bit of joy or delight or wonder we can because that is what gives us strength In the darkness, we make our own light

To add: The below turns off Copilot in Word. You may still need to turn it off piecemeal elsewhere. To turn it off EVERYWHERE in Windows 11, here's a good set of instructions: www.tomsguide.com/computing/so... - note the first part depends on your Windows version; the gpedit steps work regardless.

This is what you are looking for, my beautiful babies.

“To turn off, go to Settings > Apps > Photos on iOS and turn off Enhanced Visual Search. On Mac, open Photos and go to Settings > General to do the same. You must do it on each of your Apple devices.”

When you’re being mean to me this is who you’re being mean to

Friday is Creators Day at Itch.io and creators will get 100% of the money from sales on that day, so please support your favorite small press and indie publishers by buying things on Friday that you might have been thinking about buying.

Good point by @toddl.dev a point all of us should be doing. #accessibility #A11Y

handed my phone to my coworker for good luck and he pulled the card I’ve been after for days 🥹🌟

I'm very disappointed by all the people who don't understand what this means A little louder now. You don't know ANY undocumented people. You are not able to direct authorities to ANY undocumented people. You have no idea who they are looking for.

My latest anthology is Disability Intimacy: Essays on Love, Care, and Desire You can find out more about my book plus a free plain language version and discussion guide on my website disabilityvisibilityproject.com/book/disabil...

I haven’t done anything impressive lately (definitely not like what my friends have been accomplishing!) but I’m still here. And I made a really yummy meatball soup 🥣

reposting this iconic @joshmlabelle.bsky.social tweet over here because it came up today

March 12, 1990. US Capitol Crawl. Disabled activists went up the steps of the US Capitol building without their mobility aids and devices in order to demonstrate the need for Congress to pass the Americans with Disabilities Act.

the daylight was saved, but at what cost?

Biting sarcasm in the sheets, disaffected irony in the streets. This is what we were told was to be a grown-up as young adults in the 90s. Whenever some of us objected we were told we didn't get it/didn't belong/get over it. I've been nursing a theory about this for decades, via John Hughes films.

got laid off again today! if anyone is hiring in programming (Godot/Unreal/whatev), game design, or QA, hmu!

Game devs, please read this open letter and join me in signing. Penned by members of the game awards Future Class, the letter calls for the game awards/video game industry to break its silence on the ongoing genocide of Palestinians: t.co/SpG5vOfd9z

And if you've ever asked, "But where can I find the graphic novels made by BIPOC creators? Or LGBTQ+ creators?" I made booklists for those, too! Spanning all audiences and genres! ✨ bookshop.org/shop/johanna... 🏳️‍🌈

When writing alt text, be specific but also succinct. Stick to as few words as you can. Is the clothing relevant? Is the color of the plate important? What about the weather in the background? Decide whether this info adds or distracts from the context of the image.

NEW: for polygon, I wrote about how fame has changed significantly since the advent of the internet. creators with big followings can still go to Walmart anonymously. gone are the days of Elvis. we're all just screaming at the top of our lungs to be heard www.polygon.com/23921269/cel...

Reminder that if you see disturbing or traumatic images, playing Tetris as soon as possible afterwards can help the brain cleanse itself, and lessen the impacts of it longer term. No, I'm not kidding. And no one knows how or why it works. But it DOES work, and I encourage you to remember it.

I just wrapped up my #GAConf micro talk on Light Sensitivity and it was a blast. For those of you who missed it here are my three big takeaways:

I’m kind of terrible at social media right now and keep forgetting to post. But today I made a thing to make myself happy and had to share.
