Hey, @peacock! Check the footer on your homepage. It's accessibility, not assessibility.
If only @elonmusk knew how many students got their first taste of real-world programming using the Twitter API. This tool isn't going away, someone has chosen to lock students out of using it. :(
Today I shed a single tear for the Twitter API I've been using for probably a decade. I originally used it in APCS based on a project by @CScheerleader and I currently use it to teach APIs and file I/O to my Programming 2 students. Tools always go away, but this was a cool one.😢

Every day the people around you support you in so many ways. Give them a token of appreciation with a gift that reminds them that they are TroubleMakersForGood.

Small changes, big impact! Wherever you see these terms, please encourage the authors to make a change. (Heading over to Slack now to ask my employer about the remove the need to type one of these words multiple times a day.) @BetterAllies

I finally changed my Twitter handle to use Camel 🐪 case. I knew doing so would increase readability, but TIL the trick is to ignore the red "username has been taken" warning that pops up when attempting to change. 😮 teapawt.org/BetterAllies/status/15… #TuesdayTip #inclusion #accessibility
TIL I could change my twitter handle to use Camel Case to be more accessible & easier to read. What used to be "betterallies" is now "BetterAllies"
From @HashtagHeyAlexa's new guide: Twitter doesn’t register case adjustments as handle updates, so it’s still technically the same.
Kudos to David Beckham for doing his part to fight misinformation in the war on Ukraine. Am thankful for an opportunity to bear witness to this doctor's bravery in a time of horror and tragedy. Democracy must prevail! 🇺🇦 🇺🇦 🇺🇦

Tips to make meetings more inclusive when some folks join in groups from conference room (roomies) and some join from laptop (zoomies):
1) Don't use Zoom chat for discussion b/c roomies can't respond
2) Zoomies: turn on camera to speak
3) Roomies: identify yourself when speaking
I admit that I frequently create long or potentially contenious emails in Docs first so that i have time to thoughtfully wordsmith without accidentally sending before I'm finished. This is a nice feature!
Google Docs update lets you draft emails and send them to Gmail with a click

Thanks to @mindykaling and Never Ever Have I Ever, I learned why I received so many gift boxes of Ferrero Rocher at Christmas from my high school students. Thanks for always making me laugh. Can't wait for what you are working on next!
Is there a @HaagenDazs_US in the @NestleUSA building? And if not, why not? A @RosslynVA neighbor wants to know. @ARLnowDOTcom 🍨 🥤
Hey @TMobile! Excited to learn my company is offering TMobile Work Perks...until I learned that some of those perks are only for multi-line plans. Don't hate on the single people!
Walked 60 gates at @DetroitAirport to eat breakfast at @MaxErmas despite Google reporting them as closed. I don't trust that blue links are always right and neither should you! @yext can help your business give accurate answers to your customers!
