Kai and I are watching a movie tonight. #stargate ftw. So good. This movie came out when I was 9… which feels weird, but probably just means I’m old. It came out 30 years ago, and feels closer to reality than… reality. Is that weird? Seems weird.
Why is it so difficult to get support @NETGEAR? I buy the best one on the market an ago, and now it no bueno, and no response on my ticket. Wazzupp?

For most of my time on the Tigers beat, Twitter followers seemed to rely on me for weather forecasts. That was only because I found the Dark Sky app -- a weather app WAY ahead of its time -- before those fans did. But it was @JustinVerlander who introduced it to me and others.
It is great to see this #a11y entrepreneur killing it. Thanks for the episode recommendation @WillBubenik 👍🏼. keep going Erica!

So as a dad with two littles, I’d love if someday my kids were interested in careers in digital #a11y. That would be so cool. Does anyone have any recommendations on having conversations with kids about this career field?
Holy crap. “Don’t look up” makes me feel like I’m in the twilight zone. The silver lining is being reminded of love for my @michiganstateu peeps
Eh, game devs: what software and training would you recommend for a 10 year old interested in game design and development?
It has been funny to me watching commentators and podcasters trying to say, "Galaxy-Z-Flip-3-5G" at every commercial break.
To my friends and colleagues sending their kiddos back to school right now: Be grace-filled to yourself, and compassionate to others. It’s ok that it’s not ok, let's just do the best that we can. That’s good enough.
Note to self: Remember to switch off dark appearance mode in Big Sur before checking color and contrast 😬
Great preso @ShellELittle. I appreciated how much work you put into data gathering, and the way you presented it. Super helpful, thank you
Remember to save the date: July 28 at 3pm ET for a live discussion with @ShellELittle on The Fatal Flaw of Overlays.
We’ll discuss how overlays will never be the answer and the importance of accessible, inclusive, and usable designs. #A11yTalks

I am lucky to work alongside such amazing colleagues, and am excited to share this “year in review” story about the closed captioning crowdsourcing program @michiganstateU deque.com/blog/innovation-ac…
I’m looking for workflows to go from content authoring to multiple outputs (mobile, web, PDF, etc). MUST be accessible and super usable for multiple authors, editors, and designers across the org. Looking for something proven... am I asking for the impossible? 😆
With everything going on, it is pretty cool to be tuned in to #axecon and kindergarten together at the same time today
