Here is a non-exhaustive list of books, sites, and courses I recommend for those new to digital accessibility or those already in the field who seek to continue their education. These are the resources I constantly use to further my understanding and knowledge

A very long thread below 👇

Don't ask me how but I got an image of the people who did the heist at the Louvre.

Characters from the anime, Lupin The Third. The center is Lupin sitting in a chair. Standing on one side of the chair is Jigen. The other side is Fujiko. Goemon is on one knee in front of Fujiko.

One why would I move from a resource hungry browser to a different resource hungry browser that is guaranteed to take any data I put into it? Also this seems to underestimate most people's resistance when it comes to switching to a new browser.

The new ChatGPT-powered web browser is OpenAI's boldest play yet to reinvent how people use the web.

2) If you're a company that's constantly announcing to the public that AI is the solution for everything, everywhere, all at once then why wouldn't you allow people applying to work for you to use AI solutions on their end?

Crystal Preston-Watson @scopicengineer.com · 1d

1) Companies are using AI to run their hiring proces to the point some are laying off the majority of their HR depts. Many of the same companies also require people to sign agreements they will not use AI as they go through the application process. AI for me but not for thee’ double standard.

When I make a mistake please give me the grace I need. I'm in my early 40s so I'm just a kid with a whole lot to learn.

SNAP benefits face 'insufficient funds' in November if shutdown continues, USDA warns

Some states are warning that funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program may not be available if the government shutdown continues.

It looks like most states will withhold November SNAP if the government shutdown continues. If that happens that means food banks are going to be overwhelmed at a time they usually see their highest demands of the year. If you have the means consider donating to your local food bank.

They finally got the last payment out of me for last year. They were about to go to war over $500. 500 they forgot to remind me I still owed. I thought I was done lol

How come when the government is supposed to be shut down the IRS is working just enough to send me a certified letter with incorrect information (saying I didn't file for three years but those years I filed with my spouse)?

Ay if you try to come at me in my DMs/inbox because certain news stories due to your assumptions, I'm gonna hurt your feelings.

Anyway, how about doing something productive like donate to Pal Hawai’i, an org that provides affordable homes and service and prevent displacement of Native Hawaiians.

Vague posting but after reading a certain bit of news tonight I am really grateful for the direction that I was pushed towards this past month.

Does anyone know if Antifa is hiring right now? The job market is rough and I'm trying to make that Soros money before the empire collapses.

Also we can update an old meme:

Pee Is stored in the balls and autism lives in the penis.

Crystal Preston-Watson @scopicengineer.com · 13d

The autism stems from when one or both parents have V-cut abs. The V acts as an arrow to tell the autism to infect the baby.

Honestly this is what it sounds like every time something is linked as the cause of autism.

Thanks to the friend who compared me to Columbo "short, one good eye, most people thought he was annoying and weird, but he was good at what he did" when expressing my doubts about staying in accessibility. I'm gonna to take this as weirdly inspiring because I like the show.
