It is the true teacher who leaves the class knowing they have learned the most.

Oh great then every cultures belief based on four as in most natives to the Americas is insulted? Way too much complexity in this Ultra pc pc pc environment. In Jersey Girl parlance fuck that shit! 😇

Thank you for the guide, it's extremely helpful and yet mostly is not anything new ideologically, merely more abstract and we have no linguistic domain from markup still, leaving the meaning of meaning undefined. Your work however? Very helpful! Thank you.

As I get older perhaps a little wisdom does sneak in? I see a full Arc now of their lives and their parents' lives and how that shaped their own difficulties. All three children agree we know we were wanted by them, loved by them and our love for them is a greatest of Treasures.

Also looking at it through different viewports is helpful as well. It's not just the practice but the social issues, stigma, that we are all alike or all one thing or all always disabled all always abled. Clarification and a lot of learning about conditions we all as humans face.

I miss mine who have passed on now all the time but they were difficult people and so are their children LOL but in good ways they did good for the world. That matters and it taught us all well.

I was one of the first 100 bloggers. I did it for a long time and loved it and covered a wide variety of topics not only web or Tech. I wrote what I wanted to write and found people from all walks of life. I burnt out and now I to come back. Tell the stories you want to tell 😊

It's what I term exclusionary thinking and sadly humans tend to think in exclusionary terms not inclusive ones. Biologically we are US versus them a binary model of domination and submission with the capacity I believe can overcome that Relentless flaw of ours :-)

Most of the world's parents I think some more strict than others but of Nigerians I've met outside of Nigeria sadly never have been able to visit in technology both women and men have been intelligent fun and wonderful. I met many Nigerians in webdev in England I live in the USA.

Sara, I have deep interest personally in this issue and career. My current book addresses cultural and social accessibility not how to make a website accessible. Have you a few specific user interface examples of the cognitive dissonance you experience with this concern?

Mysteries, some horror like the Hannibal series but not slasher stuff unless it's funny. Dark drama darker comedy and good lighthearted fun shows I watch with my younger brother we watched as children many years ago we do watch parties as we are far away and it is very fun!

Wonderful answer just delightful. Where's my stamp of excellence? Oh here it is. Heather it's not just technology but passion and Hope that changes the world the wide and the web and especially our community each and everyone all. Thank you so much 😇
“When will you give up your accessible tech company if it doesn’t make it?” my aunt asked. “Never.” I replied. “This technology will change the world, and the world needs to be changed”. #a11y #accessibility #svg #design

It's nice to see compliments and shout outs to @w3c. Participate! It's not the Ivory Tower we once believed. my happiest times have been with working groups as invited expert or member but mostly I'm in awe of many of my colleagues support and kindness across the world!
Mental health challenges oh yeah I've been intact for over 35 years and could use a little you go girl attitude from time to time can't we all LOL

People do not like being told the truth when they know they are not telling the truth. You caught them! I like the truth telling. I like kindness but truth and kindness sometimes conflict. However staying silent is being untrue to yourself. Perhaps learn constructive criticism?

To watch an Escapist fun TV show is healthy. To read a book to take a walk to talk to a friend or have a meal. We need stimulation as well as peace and quiet and time away from Focus. Nutrition, sleep, quality time with family and friends. What do you like to watch on tv?

Learners love to learn and the best teacher in the room is the one who learns the most of all! Are you familiar with the term autodidact? It's a compliment from one life learner to another! Keep up the education for yourself and others it's not easy but it is truly rewarding!
