Fully unprovoked, just sent that I guess to get a rise out of me and anyone who read it. I am so happy to not be on raged bait central anymore.19 Nov 2024 17:19 +0000at://did:plc:fubislwohcq4dravyanmwurx/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbcwxputmk2mhttps://bsky.app/profile/africakenyah.bsky.social/post/3lbcug6bww22mEverytime I think about making my blog usable I get tired. My personal website is also in shambles. I've been thinking about fixing it for like a year now. I wish there was AI to just make things from my brain, til then I remain unimpressed 😡😭19 Nov 2024 16:33 +0000at://did:plc:fubislwohcq4dravyanmwurx/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbcug6bww22mhttps://bsky.app/profile/africakenyah.bsky.social/post/3lbcrqzzzz22mI never hit the flow state while working as a rehab therapist because the nature of the job was working with individuals in pain who typically did not want to be there. Now I hit flow like everyday from my computer. I could weep.19 Nov 2024 15:45 +0000at://did:plc:fubislwohcq4dravyanmwurx/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbcrqzzzz22mhttps://bsky.app/profile/africakenyah.bsky.social/post/3lbcpkbk4ck2xI used to let my veggies spoil because I could never gather the energy to cut them up and now I make my partner cut them up and my life has literally changed. I didn't know that was the one thing stopping me from cooking but I've never cooked so much in my life since giving him this permanent task.19 Nov 2024 15:06 +0000at://did:plc:fubislwohcq4dravyanmwurx/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbcpkbk4ck2xhttps://bsky.app/profile/africakenyah.bsky.social/post/3lbcpdhprjk2xI love my job so much! I'm working on the wonkiest website ever, just wild, uncouth UX design and smiling from ear to ear as I write up the report. So much opportunity for the devs who worked on it to learn something new!19 Nov 2024 15:02 +0000at://did:plc:fubislwohcq4dravyanmwurx/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbcpdhprjk2xhttps://bsky.app/profile/africakenyah.bsky.social/post/3lbcm7atoqs2zCurrently testing some web apps for section 508 accessibility compliance. MewTwo is my co tester today and he wants y'all to know that everyone who think about making their apps better for people with disabilities (which makes it better in general for all) gets a treat!19 Nov 2024 14:06 +0000at://did:plc:fubislwohcq4dravyanmwurx/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbcm7atoqs2zhttps://bsky.app/profile/africakenyah.bsky.social/post/3lbaj7r76vs2mMy superpower is finding a bunch of accessibility defects during testing and making sure the developers do not feel panic over it lol. I feel like sometimes as accessibility people we can be seen as the fun police, when really it is a teaching moment. We don't know what we dont know.18 Nov 2024 18:07 +0000at://did:plc:fubislwohcq4dravyanmwurx/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbaj7r76vs2mhttps://bsky.app/profile/africakenyah.bsky.social/post/3lb5pphrsmk23to survive, I'm making my world smaller.17 Nov 2024 15:26 +0000at://did:plc:fubislwohcq4dravyanmwurx/app.bsky.feed.post/3lb5pphrsmk23https://bsky.app/profile/africakenyah.bsky.social/post/3lb5pd5yy2k23My pfp is from 2.5 years ago when I first started sharing my web accessibility journey publicly. This is now. Same face, longer hair, a lil more tired. Still trying to share free #a11y knowledge so we can all equally troll the web.17 Nov 2024 15:19 +0000at://did:plc:fubislwohcq4dravyanmwurx/app.bsky.feed.post/3lb5pd5yy2k23https://bsky.app/profile/africakenyah.bsky.social/post/3lb5omyuro223I feel oddly positive after surfing the wave of a very pessimistic week. It’s like the wave lifted me into the air and I caught the strings of an air balloon.17 Nov 2024 15:06 +0000at://did:plc:fubislwohcq4dravyanmwurx/app.bsky.feed.post/3lb5omyuro223https://bsky.app/profile/africakenyah.bsky.social/post/3lb5oegzexc23Today is going to be a good day.

Like will our government uphold accessibility laws and enforce them? Everything feels like it is up in the air.17 Nov 2024 13:52 +0000at://did:plc:fubislwohcq4dravyanmwurx/app.bsky.feed.post/3lb5kic5n522ghttps://bsky.app/profile/africakenyah.bsky.social/post/3lb5kftr5nk2gIt is a strange feeling to scroll and not be induced into seeing red by rage bait.17 Nov 2024 13:51 +0000at://did:plc:fubislwohcq4dravyanmwurx/app.bsky.feed.post/3lb5kftr5nk2ghttps://bsky.app/profile/africakenyah.bsky.social/post/3lb4fmnr7jk2sI just finished reading Three Body Problem and it was a BANGER.17 Nov 2024 02:52 +0000at://did:plc:fubislwohcq4dravyanmwurx/app.bsky.feed.post/3lb4fmnr7jk2shttps://bsky.app/profile/africakenyah.bsky.social/post/3lb4drwkxms2cWent out w a friend today and they told me almost everyone they meet bores them.

No one to hear, no one to care, just me swirling into nothingness.17 Nov 2024 02:11 +0000at://did:plc:fubislwohcq4dravyanmwurx/app.bsky.feed.post/3lb4dcutesc2chttps://bsky.app/profile/africakenyah.bsky.social/post/3lb4da3gb522cNgl I missed having an inner monologue come to life on the web.17 Nov 2024 02:09 +0000at://did:plc:fubislwohcq4dravyanmwurx/app.bsky.feed.post/3lb4da3gb522chttps://bsky.app/profile/africakenyah.bsky.social/post/3lb4d6hgtnc2cIf I’m not following you back and you see this just tell me.
