    We often talk about for other people —clients, customers, citizens— while we let our intranets rot & enterprise software age out & lag for our own staff. I mention this article regularly & it came up like a dozen times at so sharing again:

    Enlarging font size or zooming in is common for users with visual impairments. This Iowa poll blunder demonstrates why it’s so important to have diverse product teams AND test with a diverse set of users who have different perspectives and use contexts.

    Sources told several news outlets that they figured out the whole problem was due to an issue with font size. Specifically, one operator working at the call centre used for the poll enlarged the font size on their computer screen of the script that included candidates’ names and it appears Buttigieg’s name was cut out from the list of options.

    An older woman came into the bookstore today. I made a joke about a credit card reader issue and she said "these things are all programmed by twenty-five-year-old boys who don't comment their code" and somehow we ended up having a great conversation about programming and biases.

    These days, underlined text is usually a visual indicator of a hyperlink. Don't underline text that isn't a link unless you want to confuse people.

    Italics are meant for titles and terms, not entire paragraphs —they're more difficult to read, especially for some people with cognitive disabilities. If you're trying to be decorative, use a font with different weights or switch fonts if necessary

    Please don't use bold to indicate a title or a heading. Use the proper formatting options in Word and tags in HTML instead so your content is easier to navigate, accessible to people with disabilities, and properly indexed by Google.

    In response to & , I'll reference author & activist Arundhati Roy who explains why women should be simply left alone to make their own choices, not judged, blamed, or forced to put on or remove any form of covering, be it hijab, niqab, or anything else.

    Woman writers! Please send me the threats you have received! Let's make an "assemblage" so that *they* can see them at the macro level. Let's make a quilt out of the peril they place us in.

    I'd like to remind everyone that the H1N1 swine flu virus started in North America, and killed 12.5k in the US and 575k worldwide. American pork was considered dirty for years. Glass houses!

    Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.

    Whoa. NOT COOL, ! How many people are going to be scammed into sharing their private data and wasting money because of this dark pattern? Will *do the right thing* (as per the company’s code of conduct) and fix this?

    It’s also worth noting that talk is important but not enough. We need better mental health services everywhere and need to recognize the intersectional nature of barriers to accessing help — affordability and many kinds of privilege factor in, not just stigma

    Everybody agrees mental health is important but talking about actual real shit is scary. It takes courage to have uncomfortable conversations. Push through the discomfort. Speak up. Listen. Believe each other. Check in. Don’t hesitate to seek professional help.

    To this day, every time I have had a dark thought, I think of her and how much I respect her strength and perseverance all this time even through some seriously rough life shit. If she can get through that, certainly I can get through my shit, too.

    20 years later, we’re not as close as we used to be, but last year my friend had a baby and I attended her wedding. She has a loving family and is taking care of her self and there are no words for how much it means to see her happy.

    I can’t believe that an entire friend list got that message but no one else called. It was scary to have that uncomfortable conversation, but it was necessary. If you or someone you know is hurting, TELL SOMEONE. Get help.

    The next morning before school, I got a phone call from her mom. She was in tears, and said my friend was in the hospital. Her heart stopped twice in the ambulance on the way there. Any later would’ve been too late.

    After that I just cried for a bit because I was an emotional 14-year-old worried about betraying my friend’s trust by telling on her to her mom. What if she didn’t mean it? Would she be mad at me? Then I called back and told her mom, who thanked me and hung up.
