Elle Waters isn't here anymore.

Sad to say that tomorrow I'll be shelving this account. @Twitter supports abuse & discriminatory behaviour on its platform (& does so selectively). Choosing another path. Find me? Would love to connect! @nethermind" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">mastodon.social/@nethermind linkedin.com/in/nethermind #DeactiDay

On leaving Twitter: Deactivate an app that tolerates bigotry & welcomes the spreading of abuse & misinformation. Yes. Being part of this is not doing any good. Personally, politically, socially. For a day, a week, forever: your call. It’s just a good time to go. #DeactiDay

We need communication that's more lasting, more contemplative, and more challenging in an uplifting way. That's where I'm headed next.

@justin_713 Thanks! I didn't see a reply from him in Eric's post, so I hadn't seen that. Much appreciated. :)

@Nethermind Apologies if you’ve seen this already, but Troy made a thread on this a couple days ago: twitter.com/troyhunt/statu…

Curious as to @troyhunt and @Scott_Helme's opinion on this article by @meyerweb meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/… #security #HTTPS #inclusion

It's time to hold social media orgs accountable. @hanawalt/heres-why-you-should-delete-your-twitter-account-friday-august-17th-e6ac5c60ea" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@hanawalt/here… #deactiday

I'm joining the campaign to deactivate my Twitter account on August 17. Currently, this platform does not support #inclusion and allows money to dictate its #ethics. #a11y #Deactiday

@JuliannaRowsell That's an incredible photo! Looks like something from The Expanse.

Tonight was a little bit of magic. #Stars #Perseids #PhotographyIsArt

@schneidenbach Your pursuit of extra is at risk of being extra. :)

my girlfriend says my coffee shop setup is “extra” you be the judge

Question for conference speakers of underrepresented people groups (however you define that): Do you get paid to speak? #LGBTQIA #LGBT #womenintech #publicspeaking #poc #a11y #inclusion (Please RT & add hash tags)

I know this is obvious, but it bears repeating: the status quo is about power, never about change, and growth only comes from change.

Just so we’re clear. Things we FIND money to pay for: ✅ $2T in tax cuts for billionaires ✅ $210 Billion Trade War ✅ $XX? Space Force (who cares how much, right?) Things We Refuse to Pay for: ❌ Just Recovery for Puerto Rico🇵🇷 ❌ Medicare for All ❌ Tuition-Free College

Kudos to the @cpponsea organizers: great communication to potential speakers and really thoughtful consideration in fitting price to benefit for this conference! cpponsea.uk/index.html

Storm fronts making airlines suddenly super practical. ‘Any open seat’ to people on later flight trying to board ours and avoid getting stuck. Chicken bus of the skies!

One of the most rewarding mysteries - teaching provides you with incredible learning opportunities. Grateful!

Reading The Politics of Design by @unlisted_roots and absolutely enthralled. Recommend for anyone who works in digital #UX or #UI. Deconstructing bias and examining assumptions = the first step towards #inclusion. #a11y

Amazed and humbled that my favourite meeting today will definitely be this project retro with a (beloved) client. So much mutual respect, makes the work awesome.

If everyone is a designer (whether good or bad), and all design is political (whether intentional or not), what world are you making? #UX #inclusion #ethics
