It’s hard to believe but there was a cartoon about an immigrant mouse and it was seen as totally fine and not controversial and not woke because it was an aspirational and nice thing about America that people could come here and find a better life

The only adult wearing cat ears on Halloween during our European train travels today, but I regret nothing. Also, some cool Paris street art! 😺🦇

Why is it important to make your website more accessible?
- Disabled people need access
- The legal situation in the EU
- Build better software as an outcome
- Accessibility design and engineering is cool!

Just like web performance work, accessibility winds up being less expensive the earlier you implement it. Build accessibility in from the start, rather than bolting it on - make it part of the process.

“We should treat accessibility as something that is structural or baked in or part of the DNA, if we want to be successful”
— says @marcysutton.com at #perfnow
“Don’t treat it like trying to put chocolate chips into a cookie after it is baked”
I love this framing!

So fun to spend the week in Amsterdam with my family ahead of @perfnow.nl! Now working on my talk, a reimagined version of a topic I first spoke on a decade ago: Accessibility and Performance. Very excited to share! 🤗

That’s $5 billion more than the entire annual USAID budget. All to one country. To rescue one friend of the president’s.
Trump found another $20 BILLION to give to Argentina, totaling their bailout to $40 BILLION.
Yet we can’t afford to prevent millions of Americans from losing their healthcare.
Shame.

I am being asked to tell my department which pieces of lab equipment should be supported with backup power because they expect rolling blackouts and brownouts in 2026 due to increased energy demands from AI. In case you're wondering how my day is going.

The recent ICE raid which emptied an entire apartment building was apparently at the request of Wells Fargo, which is trying to foreclose on the building.
southsideweekly.com/federal-agen...
The building is in a 27 million dollar foreclosure filed by Wells Fargo. The next day, Wells Fargo filed an emergency motion for receivership. The fascist regime kindly emptied the building for donor Wells Fargo.

"Since this new administration took office, the unemployment rate for people with disabilities has increased at triple the normal rate of unemployment."
For National Disability Employment Awareness Month at @motherjones.com, I spoke to four disabled federal workers who were laid off about how their old jobs were very accessible—and what the federal government loses out on by having fewer disabled employees. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
The human costs of Trump's war on government
For many disabled workers, federal jobs were decent, human, and accommodating: everything the president hates.

Moving my Gatsby site to @astro.build has been pretty smooth so far, except for one thing: blog images! So I asked my buddy @jason.energy for help, since we worked together when I built the original site. We're going to stream a work session next Thursday, 10/9 on @codetv.dev at 9:30am Pacific!

I’m writing a talk for @perfnow and realizing I could use new professional headshots. How about in Amsterdam while we’re there for my talk, so we can get family photos taken at the same time? If anyone has photographer recommendations for the end of October, I’d super appreciate it!

Haha fun times moderating a tech community where people ever love AI or hate it, and I “get” to referee
AI fans always seem puzzled why some people have a revulsion to AI and one issue is the people in charge of AI are repulsive
