Finally somewhere that gets it right! Just wash your hands.

Design for someone at the edge. When you design for someone with a disability, everyone benefits. Not once have I encountered a design that incorporates disability needs that has caused any problems for me.

Dear white folx,
Work on breaking your racist unconscious biases, here’s an exercise for you. If you see a POC and have an “uncomfortable” feeling/thought immediately picture that person as if they were white, if (when?) you become more comfortable then you were being racist and profiling, so stop, recognize that, be better and go on your way.
It’s not a perfect exercise but it’s a simple one, and you want to be better, which means you need to be aware of your words/thoughts/actions.

Please boost.
Fediverse, I have a request.
If you know a woman that is:
-from Ethiopia, Sudan or South Sudan
-Tech savvy
-Has an interest in Digital Safety and Security

Can you have them reach out to me? (DM if you need an email addy instead) We’ve a Safe Sister Digital Safety Fellowship specifically for them, and applications are open until September 28 and I’d like to send them information.

Meeting new people who become more than acquaintances and you develop a deeper connection with is awesome. Why? because you’re given an opportunity to remind yourself of all your awesome skills, interests and hobbies.

To say birth control (pill, IUD, patch, shot, etc) is abortion inducing is ignorant, it doesn’t kill anything, it PREVENTS and sir, for some it even helps regulate their hormones so they CAN get pregnant so get the fuck outta here.

Please for all the is good and holy in this world, STAY CONSISTENT WITH YOUR FILE NAMES AND CODE DOCUMENTATION!!!

I love dad jokes. I think they are the best.

1. OneTab (allows you to collapse all open tabs into a list of URLs you can share, export, or name as a group or reopen)
2. DuplicateTab (keeps you from opening duplicate tabs, will auto close the duplicate tab -- this is a setting, it can also just notify you it's a duplicate and do nothing, and it will make the remaining tab active)

I cannot decide if it’s because I don’t want to remember having to run the mundane manual process, if I’m just interested in figuring out how to automate what someone might say as not possible, that I’m obsessed with just MAKING it work or all of the above. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ it’s hump day.
