I added a "quick guide" page to the Accessible Social website for anyone feeling overwhelmed about where to start with accessible best practices for social media.
It's also handy if you need to throw it at leadership or your boss really quick. 😉

I don't understand why Twitter won't purge inactive accounts that companies want shut down. I've tried to get a dead channel closed for years.
Something interesting you might not have realized: a number of words in English are nouns when you stress the first syllable but verbs when you stress the second.
"Your CONduct is better when you conDUCT yourself appropriately.”

I'm really surprised that no one is actively talking about what an America run by the GOP looks like. We can see it in deep red states right now, and it's horrifying. 1/n

TBH Oozefest is less about the tournament and more about the costumes. Plus, the costume contest winners get free registration the following year. So how hard are you going to commit?...

The saw one of its players require CPR and oxygen on the field, then get taken away by ambulance and told his teammates they had 5 minutes to get ready to play again.
Never forget that.

This picture has gotten a lot of attention today - it was taken from the Sheridan Drive overpass looking north on Transit Road in Erie County at 9:30am... it really puts in perspective the importance of staying off the roads during a travel ban for the safety of everyone

My account is now private. Just deleted all my connected apps. Working on deleting the DMs. Twitter changed all my settings in the past week or so. Frustrating and sad.

hard to believe there was once a time where they’d send a big yellow book to everyone’s house listing yours and everyone else’s assassination coordinates

The phrase “knocked up,” referring to pregnancy, originated with U.S. slavery. The Oxford English Dictionary traces the expression back to 1813.
Back then the price of enslaved African women was “knocked up” by the auctioneer when she was pregnant—promoted as a deal for buyers.

Today's bipartisan Senate passage of the Respect for Marriage Act proves our nation is on the brink of reaffirming a fundamental truth: love is love.
I look forward to the House passing this legislation and sending it to my desk, where I will proudly sign it into law.

Today’s social media plan is to see how #Mastodon stacks up against this channel for live sports. The real-time engagement here is fun.
In summary:
(1) Family time is limited—cherish it.
(2) Friend time is limited—prioritize real ones.
(3) Partner time is significant—never settle.
(4) Children time is precious—be present.
(5) Coworker time is significant—find energy.
(6) Alone time is highest—love yourself.

To be clear, I'll be relieved if everything persists. I've just worked too long in tech, and there's a tipping point for these things where institutional knowledge is lost and suddenly stuff unravels in ways that previously seemed impossible.
