My work life revolves around accessibility and user research. I also write books for children and young adults, watch too much TV, and love seeing alt-tagged pictures of your dogs. Profile picture is a selfie with our pittie petting my head. She/her.

Things I appreciate about black raspberries:
1. Delicious.
2. Basically a weed. I just...leave them alone and they prosper.

Warnock on SCOTUS:
No one elected this Court—to decide what kind of remedies we need in this moment. It’s really not up to the Supreme Court to say, “Well, we have reached the threshold where this issue around race and inclusion is no longer necessary.” That is not the job of the Court.
Raising accessibility in meetings and getting pushback? You're not failing, you're just having the wrong conversations. This guide covers 9 common objections designers face, with data, reframes, and strategies to make the business case for accessibility.

The U.S. military said on Tuesday that it had struck another boat in the eastern Pacific Ocean, killing three people and bringing the death toll to at least 190 in the monthslong campaign against those who the U.S. alleges are engaged in drug smuggling at sea.
The attack was the second in two days, and the latest in an ongoing campaign against people the United States says are engaged in drug smuggling at sea.
NEW: U.S. House Rep. Bennie Thompson's "reign of terror" in Mississippi "is over," Gov. Tate Reeves says, urging the ousting of the state's only Black member of Congress through redistricting before the end of 2027.
He made that pronouncement even as he canceled a special session on redistricting.
