#Balticon59 was amazing! Had such a great weekend. Met amazing people. However. The cats I left behind remain displeased. One cat has bestowed forgiveness via snuggles. The other lounges at the foot of the bed like a furry little deity, offering no such grace.

This year, Hannukah starts on Christmas Day. I repeat, Hannukah starts on Christmas Day. Latkes, ketchup and Chinese food for everyone!

@jewinthecity The University I work at sent out a message that I thought was very nice.

Is anyone’s company acknowledging that yesterday was the deadliest attack on the Jewish people since the Holocaust? Is anyone’s DEI departments sending out messages of solidarity with the Jewish people?

After my keynote at @Gartner_Inc’s conference an attendee told me they’re inspired to make their websites and apps more accessible to disabled people. My favorite kind of inspiration! #GartnerHR

@Maria_Golikova @dieworkwear This makes be nuts too. I buy very few clothes, so I spend more on pieces that I plan on wearing for many years. I’ve become very brand loyal because of how much expensive junk there is out there. It’s very frustrating.

@dieworkwear I find that many clothes that cost much more are also bad quality.

my hot take is that if you recognize clothing was better generations ago and think that it should still be so today, you have to be willing to pay the prices people paid for clothes generations ago (which is not $50 dress shirts, $70 pants, $90 shoes)

@Callalily57 That too! I don't go by mrs. either, so that would annoy me. Professor ____ is always the safest way to go, though. It's one of those moments that I remember I'm working with young adults who are still learning etiquette.

@Callalily57 OMG! Students, no! Not in higher ed! You seem like a nice and chill person, but higher ed has a lot of very not chill people who get really REALLY snippy about their titles. HUGE faux pas 🥶

@Cooperstreaming I know that I shouldn't be suprised, but somehow I am. Lots of people go for walks midday. It sucks sitting in the office all day. I know that I go for walks during mylunch break. Sometimes I go for an extra stroll if I had a tough appointment.

The new logo has arrived to my phone. This is how VoiceOver reads the app name: “Cap x Logo Other, Sign”

@caitskirby It also fails to realize that more students with disabilities are making it to college because of the access that is being provided in K-12 and in higher ed.

@caitskirby You don't just show up and get accommodations. You have to provide some kind of documentation and there's a whole process for determining the types of accommodations that would be needed to eliminate barriers.

If your professor is Timur Kuran at Duke University, and you're disabled, you should know that he says in this tweet he believes many students are faking disability for "status."
Timur Kuran@timurkuran

A audiologist friend observes “an epidemic” of high school and university students claiming to be hearing-impaired. Though they hear perfectly, in audio tests (designed to be hard to game) they fake deafness. Many are after a diagnosis of impairment for the status it would bring.

Both myself and violin are fine, although I am sitting down for a bit before attempting to play again. I JUST WANT TO PLAY!

I sprained my thumb a couple of weeks ago, and haven't been able to play my violin. Today was the day I picked it up again. As I walked to my practice spot, I twisted my ankle and fell. In a heroic move, I saved the violin and bow! MY ankle not so much.

We did enjoy Barbie a lot! But sadly the closed caption device didn't work and the folks, once again, gave me headphones that made the sound louder and not the audio description. One day, we're going to walk out of a movie theater and not have to speak to manager. I believe!
