    It’s Global Accessibility Awareness Day. We cannot claim to be serious about inclusion if our products and services and buildings and conferences are inaccessible. No matter what our field or industry, there’s actions we can take to do better.

    It’s Global Accessibility Awareness Day ! If you’re on iOS: Settings > General > Accessibility > Accessibility Shortcut > VoiceOver. Triple tap the home or side button to enable or turn off VoiceOver. (To get more of a full effect: turn your brightness all the way down.)

    I know there are a lot of men out there who have partners who've had abortions. It's time for you to speak up and be allies. Women don't get pregnant alone.

    This is a profound healthcare issue but it’s also an enormous class issue. Privileged people will still have access to abortions (as they always have) but POC mothers in poverty will be the most affected. This racist, misogynist bill is designed to keep the poor poorer.

    3 months later, I'm still blown away by this. It's life changing in the best of ways, y'all. You also learn to not take this for granted if you've been bitten in the past which is probably a good thing. 😬

    Actually liking your job has such a massive overall positive impact on your life. I'm still totally blown away by this.
