My heart is so heavy … I lost a friend and mentor yesterday and the disability community lost a leader.

The incomparable Alice Wong passed away.

She inspired me to find my voice.

She encouraged me to take up space and embrace my disabled body.

Dem voters are going to spin their wheels calling for Schumer to resign while whoever would take over for him would do the exact same things he's done. The. same. things. The rot is pervasive.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Today's AWS outage is causing many sites to load slower than usual. That means images might not be loading as fast as they normally do. But if you've remembered to add alt text to your images, your users will still be able to get the context and content of your images on your site.
One way sighted people can determine what to put in alt text: Imagine you sent the post or article to a friend, and the image didn't load. What would someone need to know to get the equivalent experience and context? This will help you identify the important details.

Life happens. Through no fault of their own people lose their jobs, housing, and health every day and when those things happen it's very often appropriate and responsible to surrender pets. Those are all VERY common reasons why pets end up in shelters, not because they are defective animals.

Folks, having a solid crew of comrades you can rely on in real life or virtually is always essential and in the coming years we are all going to need to lean on each other.

The GOP controls the whole Federal government. They have to fund it. If they don't, it's their fault. [see how easy that is].

Autistic and neurodivergent people deserve far better than a government looking to prevent their existence, let alone one that will invent fictitious ways to do so that puts everyone in danger
