Do you pronounce “Ms” and “Miss” differently?

Would be cool if you replied to say where you’re from and what variety of English you speak too.

I get the sentiment but this toot implies BC has just one set of conditions and no matter where you are you'll interfere with Wildfire operations.

That's just not true.

I wish this platform would default accept my #CamelCase tags. It takes extra effort to back up and make #climateemergency into #ClimateEmergency

This is needed from readers and screen readers. If you know a bit of how children learn to read it carries over to how people read and Camel Case is just helpful for any tag without spaces to delimit the words. Make reading easier for all folks. #CurbCutEffect

Are people aware this exhibition book exists?

For an educator who is immunocompromised.

For an RN whose hospital is short-staffed.

For a grocery store clerk who cannot afford to miss a shift.

For an 80 year old who avoided Covid until now.

For a child with asthma and their infant sibling.

For all of us.

I'm looking to collect as many origin stories of women working in software design (UX, IXD, UI, User Research, UX writing) as possible for my website Women of IXD. This is a multi-year crusade to write women back into the history of technology (through the lens of design). This is a companion to the book. What's your story? What challenges have you faced? What successes do you want to share with the world? https://womenofixd.com/whats-your-origin-story

Definitely do not go to these websites to get free study books. Also, don't go to https://12ft.io/ to unlock paywalls.

The elites organize and grab all for themselves as the commoners grieve and struggle. Please don’t turn a blind eye. #Water #Maui #Justice #Greed #Power https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/aug/17/hawaii-fires-maui-water-rights-disaster-capitalism

Five years ago I looked at the pay wall economy… the big change since then is that subscription prices have gone up well ahead of inflation.

It is obscene that the BC NDP is still behind cutting old-growth forests and arresting the people trying to stop them. #environment #climate #politics

Hard to understand why so many people spend their energy doing free PR work for a virus.

The French government is working on a law that would require web browsers to block websites in the browsers themselves. It would set a dangerous precedent, providing a playbook for other governments to also turn browsers into censorship tools
