Decided I’m not calling them Copilots anymore. From here on out, I’m calling it all Microsoft Power Clippy.

Software engineers of the world, I beg you. Stop disabling copy and paste in password fields. Sincerely, Someone with non-human memorable 20+ character passwords generated by a password manager.

Today I am thankful for pre-holiday break me who made a to-do list for today so I have some semblance of remembering what I need to accomplish this week.

He died as he lived, clicking “Forgot password,” then checking his inbox for a code, then putting in that code, then setting up two-step verification, and then waiting for the text message that doesn’t come, and then calling the 800 number, and then downloading an authenticator app, and dying.

As an accessibility specialist in the US I'm really interested in info about the European Accessibility Act (EAA) from the perspective of an EU accessibility professional.

Today is the International Day of Persons with Disabilities. My two reminders for the day: 1. Everyone will be disabled at some point in their lives, whether that is situational, temporary or permanent. 2. Accessibility makes the world better for everyone.

I'm debating about resurrecting my blog. The problem is I want to redesign some of it, and then I think that that would be a good blog series. And then I think I should do a whole personal branding identity redesign. And now I need a kanban board for my blog.

I created a “Women in Tech” Starter Pack! Highly recommend to follow these incredibly talented women. 💖✨ go.bsky.app/PNKtkEe (Feel free to suggest edits, of course!)

Bluesky tip for no reason in particular: There's a setting in the moderation settings section of your account that makes it so logged out accounts can't see your posts. If you have blocked some accounts for a reason, you should probably also go turn that on.

Hey gang, I'm putting together a feed on global disability rights... You can browse the posts or if you got to "about" you can find new folk to follow. Please share so we can find more folk outside of US/UK.

I, for one, am glad that my favorite Bird App account has made the jump to here. Sorry to all the people I know on here, but she's the GLOAT.

Yay! Also jay, what do we call posts here? Put an end to "skeets" 😂

Fracturing disability communities may be one of EM’s most harmful legacies on Twitter. It’s taken a year for deaf scholars and community members to make their way to BlueSky. And our community is probably privileged in being able to switch. A good reminder that not everyone has that.

Many disabled & chronically ill people are feeling left behind by those who've left Twitter. Concerns range from not having enough spoons to make transition, not knowing where to go and fears they won't be able to find their people once they get there. How can we ensure no one gets left behind?

Now that the band is back together, I'm going to start sharing cool things I've seen over the last few years. Let's start with What Vegetable Are You? sophie006liu.github.io/vegetal/
