I'm grateful for every single one of you who has recommended my course and has been advocate for it over the years. I'm so incredibly proud of how far it's reached and how many careers it has influenced (literally)! Thank you so much! 🩷

@xkcd.com what would the world be like now if we had never discovered how to harness electricity? Would we have incredibly complex mechanical computers, would steam supercars be a thing, would the worlds biggest company make candles, would we have exhausted fossil fuels?
On Bluesky and LinkedIn, the hashtag #accessibility allows you to find lots of accessibility-related resources. To find accessibility resources in Spanish, use the hashtag #accesibilidad. The hashtag #accessibilité helps you find resources in French.
It's interesting and encouraging that this sort of educational programme exists, but this needs to be taught in every school and college, not just at university level in very few universities: iadp.ahs.illinois.edu #accessibility #AccessibilityRegulations

Amusing little Macbook bug - it turns out that if you plug the USB-C end of the Magsafe cable into the Macbook, it thinks the battery is being charged, Maybe it's a feature and Apple are trialling perpetual motion through power loops.

75% being an accessibility advocate (in digital product spaces at least) is explaining the different definitions of disability, and what accessibility actually is. When it clicks, people usually realize how many people actually need accessibility.
