I'm winding down Twitter.
I'd love to stay in touch, though. Please feel free to DM me if you want to continue a conversation on iMessage.
I'll also stay active on my blog.

When something is important, it mean a whole lot. Make sure your friends know how important dey are to you, just like beautiful cookie.

I posted on LinkedIn this morning about still being open to a salaried role in a newsroom someplace. At the risk of being immodest, I think I’ve earned my stripes after almost a decade and think you should hire me to report on disability in tech.

This ought to be something to cheer, but it’s so bizarrely bad with VoiceOver. iOS components come baked with so much accessibility support out of the box – it takes *effort* to make something this opaque. Why? To save some money? The V in MVP should include “usable by everyone.”
7.26 billion people own mobile phones, but the majority use them for one purpose: consumption.
As of today, every single smartphone can now be used for something more: software creation.

One of the reasons I love working in #a11y is that it's SO deeply multifaceted. #Accessibility is about:
🎨 Design
👩🏻💻 Engineering
💁🏽 UX
🎁 Product
…and most importantly…
👯 People
I may not be good at all these things, but the chance to think about them all daily is a gift!

Thinking that accessibility is simply an engineering problem to be solved is very common.
It's also a massive part of the problem.

Good blog post.
I wrote a blog post about the new “primary associated types” feature in Swift 5.7. Good feature!

Chef John really is just the kindest person. You should check this out; I'm pretty sure you'll end up with a big smile on your face.

had the honor of chatting with Bay Area YouTube legend Chef John from @foodwishes!
a favorite quote: “Why do we need 4K?” he said. “So you watch my video in 4K — then what happens? You still make the soup, right?”

People are excited for spooky season, but October is also Nat’l Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM). Contrary to what society says, disabled people contribute much to the economy.
Disability deserves more representation in the workplace—especially in newsrooms!

I remember folks ragging on this talk when I delivered it, saying it was too easy and they knew it already. It’s helped over 10,000 people since, and is the most watched @dotSwift talk from any year. If you have a talk you think would be great, no matter how “easy”, go for it! 🚀

I just saw @twostraws's conference for dotSwift as a part of day 51 of #100daysofswift, and it was so informative ahhh! Left me with a lot to read and research about! super fun stuff too!
here's the link if anyone is interested:

GitHub seems to have made a change where it messes with my browser history. Going back from a pull request's "Files changed" doesn't go back to the conversation, but to another pull request entirely... forgetting I checked my notifications in the meantime? Ugh :-(
Want to make your app accessible? Today, Abra and Q42 are launching a new platform to help you do that: beta.appt.org/en/. With relevant data, guidelines and code examples for iOS, Android, Flutter etc. We're looking forward to your feedback!

It was so nice finally (!) meeting Natalye and going to a concert of Nils Frahm together. I had a great time 😊

Heading home after a lovely evening out: dinner with my friend @basthomas, and a concert seeing the magnificent @nilsfrahm at Funkhaus.

Nils was great again — I find the new album fit a live show particularly well. Looking forward to the next one... soon. 😉

Such a great presentation of one of Swift's design principles: progressive disclosure.

I shared a story about getting into accessibility (being inspired by a workshop from @savinola), and how looking back, my past explains a lot about it.
