If I consistently spend more than I make eventually the sherif will show up and take away property. Congress needs to balance the budget which is going to mean higher taxes. Not a fan of ~$3T more debt to fund tax cuts.

Wow! Just learned about new Microsoft Accessibility Assistant at #AbilitySummit Making it easier to create content for everyone. If this sounds like a paid endorsement - it is not. Being in the #a11y space since 1995 this kind of progress is so exciting! microsoft.com/en-us/microsof…

Y’all following what Trump is putting out there? Wow he seems like a desperate man trying to avoid jail. I just don’t get why he didn’t send the docs back when the DOJ asked for them. 🤷🏻♂️

Thank you @Microsoft365 for placing a dictation feature on Microsoft PowerPoint online! This was a game changer this week during our introduction to informational writing unit! #accessibility #MicrosoftPowerPoint – at Roswell, GA
My kindergarten says “Mom is the Principal and Dad is the Vice Principal.” Me “Yep. That’s about right.”
One of my favorite new accessibility features in Outlook desktop. There is so much goodness when people send accessible emails. #accessibility
