Me: July's looking like a nice quiet month for me after the busyness in June. Today I signed up for 2 more in-person events.
Got a newsletter from LNER advertising going to Leeds, I miss that place already.
And tonight at the A11y Together event, great to see the increase in turnout.

Thank you to the kind soul for checking up on me after I had an autistic meltdown at an event tonight 😔
Back when I was doing work experience in magazines and newspapers, we'd use Getty Images and that's still around today.
Designing stuff at work and remembering a conversation at a tech event I went to. One person said that they used Gen-AI to generate placeholder images, and another told them about the wonders of Unsplash - there're many great free resources out there already that you don't have to use AI.
Today's been a nice afternoon doing design stuff, it's been a while that I've done stuff for print but going through inspiration has been really fun.
Had a coaching session where we briefly discussed creating a portfolio and I started listening to the Wonders of Web Weaving podcast for inspiration. web-weaving.jamesg.blog
