I got new glasses! They’re like my old ones, but slightly smaller and more silver. Changing it up, calm DOWN WHEW 🤣😮‍💨

In fact, we can often learn from disabled folks by understanding how they are engaging with a product. It’s one of the best ways to improve the design and make it more better for everyone.

Maybe I am biased; I’m just surprised folks aren’t mentioning accessibility when this meme comes up. /rant 😆😄♥️

Like, maybe it’s not an intuition issue. Maybe users literally can’t operate the handle. Maybe there is a limb difference or muscle weakness — every person has different capabilities and disabilities. And trust me… disabled folks will get clever, using any means necessary 🦾✨

🧵TL;DR Accessible Design = Good Design

I keep seeing this image all over LinkedIn and UI/UX forums, debating “stupid users” vs. intuitive design… etc. etc.

But what about accessibility?

Top is labeled “Dev: creates simple and intuitive UI” showing a teapots.

Bottom is labeled “User:” showing a man blowing into the top of the tea pot so tea flows into the cup, rather than pouring it with his hands.

In a truly shocking turn of events, my disabilities are, in fact, disabling me. Shocked.

TIL How I read books as an ADHD girliepop who is deaf is what others call “immersive reading” 🤔

“Immersive reading is a multi-sensory approach to reading that combines audible and visual elements to enhance comprehension and enjoyment. It often involves narration and highlighting text.”

Slipped out of the house last night to catch Rachel Kolb at Ms. Dalloway's Books in Berkeley, along with @rzemach.bsky.social, my son's 2nd-grade teacher, and apparently all the Deaf bookworms in the Bay Area. Quite a scene.

Hi all! My dear friend, Rachel Kolb, just launched her book today. This is a deaf writer’s exploration of language, communication, and what it means to be articulate—and her journey to reclaim her voice. Can’t recommend it enough!! Link is below 🤟🏼♥️

Broke out the spooky bandanas 👻💜

Zelda and Midna the corgis. Zelda to the left is a red corgi who is smiling and wearing a black bandana with ghosts. Midna to the left is a black corgi who is barking and wearing a purple bandana with ghosts.

My most anticipated #GAconf talk for today. But maybe I'm a little biased 😄 - come support the FC developers and learn more about their journey to making football more accessible.

TIL the intersection between Game Accessibility folks and Brandon Sanderson readers is nearly a circle 🤣 #GAconf

Excited for two full days of learning & networking at @gaconf.bsky.social!

This time I’ll be experiencing the #GAconf: Pregnancy Edition, fully horizontal. But thanks to the event being remote & supported via discord, I don’t miss a thing. Goes to show it’s the most accessible event in town 🥰♥️

Morgan is resting her head on a pillow with a blanket covering her and she’s giving the peace sign, smiling. Above her is a black corgi who is looking at her very curiously and also seems to be watching the conference as well.

Midna’s sister = mom of Goji 🧐💭

I am actually surprised by how similar they look, especially in facial structure. Here is Zelda for comparison, who is unrelated. You can admire her new spooky bandana too 👻

Zelda the corgi, a red and white corgi with much larger ears and a thicker snoot, larger nose, and more splayed out paws.

Midna met her niece, Goji! It was a shocking experience for her… 😆♥️

Two corgis chilling on a couch. One is a large red headed tricolor corgi on the left, the other a much smaller black corgi on the right.

The dogs look at each other. The red one is curious while the black one has her mouth open, mimicking shock.
