Hi, human chattel slavery was objectively bad by every moral metric available to humankind and the version practiced in the American South was peculiarly violent and odious and maintained by virulent rich pieces of shit who used the Bible to justify it, so, if you’re a teacher in #Florida and you could now get fired for suggesting this because pantswetting racist scum run your state, just drop a link to this post somewhere your kids can see it.

The collapse of the commercial real estate market because of remote work is good, actually. Most pushback against remote work comes either from overgeneralizing from the minority of cases where a particular role does in fact need to be in the office, or is the result of bosses just liking the power kick it gives them to see all these people gathered in one place and under their control. The former is a mistake in reasoning, the latter a mistake in moral psychology.

According to Deque, 67% of accessibility defects originate in the design, it will cost more if you fix them later in the project. So, what can designers do? Bridge the gap with developers by adding accessibility annotations to mockups!

Shameless plug:
– I have a conference that I gave at axe-con on the topic: https://stephaniewalter.design/blog/a-designers-guide-to-documenting-accessibility-user-interactions/
And, I’ve created a very nice checklist + annotation kit for Sketch and Figma:

that #CSAM report is exactly zero surprising to anyone who’s even a basic adequate #Fediverse admin

it’s well known that the problem isn’t just loli from Japan and that there are pro pedophile servers that openly discuss grooming etc

hell, as an even moderately involved user, you’d know this from skimming #Fediblock, even if you’re on a decent instance and never see it personally

the conspiracy theories downplaying that report are weird and gross

not everything is about #Facebook
