Hue Color Tool a really nice color tool, with multiple options: mix, to build color scales with steps, info to get all information about a specific color, in different spaces and values, and some combination options, blend to preview the result of 2 colors with different blend modes, and modify, to play with different settings of the same color.

Here's a PDF Version of the CIA Guide to Sabotaging Fascism, just, you know, in case. It "describes ways to train normal people to be purposefully annoying telephone operators, dysfunctional train conductors, befuddling middle managers, blundering factory workers, unruly movie theater patrons, and so on.

I knew one day I’d have to watch powerful men burn the world down – I just didn’t expect them to be such losers. “Living your life to impress other men by hating women is one of the most embarrassing things I can imagine. Looking up to any of these men for how to live your life is even sadder.” No notes, perfect summary of what is currently happening, by Rebecca Shaw

Repeat after me: generative AI does not and cannot ever represent disabled people. A great article by Ashle Emboyer, who explains why solutions who pretend to do that are dehumanizing the lived experiences of disabled people by replacing authentic stories with synthetic, generative AI outputs.

What is it like to use a screen reader on an inaccessible website? Navigating is like using a narrow-beamed flashlight in a dark, constantly changing room—you must carefully piece together a mental map while unseen changes make it harder to orient yourself. Dynamic content without clear cues, like vague "aria-live" alerts, can add confusion, but precise and context-aware descriptions can greatly improve navigation and understanding. A great analogy by Craig Abbott.

People think there's a secret sauce behind increasing visibility, especially on social media, where some gurus sell you tips and tricks. This article resonates a lot, because, I’ve mostly, the same strategy (even though I don’t like to call this a strategy to be honest). Just like Kent Dodds, I’m curious, share what I like, share what I learn, try to demystify things, and share often. That's it. Happy to see I’m not the only one with such a mindset!
How I increased my visibility
Someone asked me this and here's my answer.
So, I guess I now need to add a "don't edit my speaker shot photos with AI without my consent and running the result by me before publishing it first" addition to my speaker conditions? https://xcancel.com/elizlaraki/status/1846252781851890026
