Today my four-year-old was reading a Florida high-school history book when he turned to me gravely and asked “Daddy, why didn’t the liberals want the slaves to learn to be blacksmiths?” And when I told him “Because they are infected with the woke mind virus,” he started crying.

Bibi Netanyahu, who I do not support, is right to turn Israel into a religious autocracy, which I also do not support, if that’s what it takes to expose the shitlibs as drone-loving hypocrites.

So, I posted a poll asking if you’d unfollow someone who hasn’t posted in 150 days and a few people said they wouldn’t even notice someone was missing.

You are the reason buddy system failures happen. Do not take a field trip with these people. They will leave you for dead.

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

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:
