Pinned note for people who ask:
I'm a blind, autistic, chronically ill usability tester with a focus on accessibility and real-world screen reader use (primarily NVDA on Windows, web apps, and complex workflows).
I'm open to occasional paid usability or accessibility studies, including games, as long as the team is open to feedback from someone with multiple disabilities. My availability is limited, and I prioritize work that values lived-experience input rather than simulated testing. I don't do formal audits.
If you think something might be a good fit, you're welcome to DM me with details. If it's not a match, no hard feelings.

Forget usability testing; just get tipsy and smash that "Drunk" button! 🤦‍♂️

Drunk CSS

A decade ago, I was writing about how you should test your user interface on drunk people. It was a semi-serious idea. Some of your users will be drunk when using your app or website. If it is easy for them to use, then it should be easy for sober people to use. Of course, necking a few shots every time you update your website isn't great for your health - so is there another way?

Top tasks survey — One weird trick to improve information architecture and user experience
