need some diy help! My new integrated dishwasher is supposed to fit flush to the worktop. But that means the wooden door can't then have a lip over the edge of the inner metal door. If anything it has to come down a few mm so it's not quite covering it. That seems super weird?

I’ve decided to start doing a monthly newsletter. It’s not going to be huge, just sharing things I’ve found interesting each month, with the main focus being accessibility, of course! If you’re interested you can sign up at the following link: buttondown.com/craigabbott #accessibility #a11y

Monthly Newsletter, by Craig Abbott

One email a month, about interesting accessibility related things I’ve found on the web. Craig speaking at Access:Given conference.

If you're autistic and in Australia, take a moment to help Onorah for science!

Still seeking participants for my research survey! If you’re 18+, in Australia and haven’t done it yet, please consider it, I’d really appreciate it. And you get the warm fuzzies of knowing you’re contributing to SCIENCE! 🧠 And there’s a prize draw at the end. Yay money.

I thought this movie would be too Aussie to be appreciated by non-Aussies, but I love seeing the love it's getting.

If you have never seen The Dish, I urge you to watch it. Warm, funny and based on the true story of an Australian observatory playing a pivotal role in the Apollo 11 mission to the Moon in 1969. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dish

Can you help me by completing a survey for a study on AI and charity content? It covers AI tool use, organisational support, and how you feel about AI. It's open to anyone who produces content as part of their role. You don't have to work for a charity. It takes 5–15 minutes tally.so/r/pbZqQP

THREAD. A collection of photos I have taken of excellent cats I have met on walks. You will find the captions to the photos in the alt text.

My cat overlords treat me differently. Winston looks down on me and demands food. Abe traps me because for him to relax, he requires my leg to be his pillow and source of warmth.

It's almost been a month since this came out. If you've read it and enjoyed it, tell your pals. Otherwise, do grab yourself a copy. It will keep you nice and chilled in the upcoming hot weather.

@edent.tel I searched for footnote issues and your Usability of footnotes blog came up. I'd considered the cognitive issues you mentioned but couldn't think of what else was bugging me until I read 'Before I tap the link I've no idea what's behind it'. That's what was bugging me, so thank you.

Did you know Adelaide has its own virtual, interactive late night variety show? And we’re live on YouTube from 9:30pm tonight. Packed.

I helped mobilize a group of neighbors to provide direct aid to nearly 50 families who are in hiding from ICE. These folks deserve fresh, familiar foods. So we're purchasing groceries direct from neighborhood Latino markets whenever we can. Venmo @kristina-halvorson to help, and please repost.

We’re live streaming on YouTube Monday nights this year with an aim to bring back SA local live variety broadcasting (on a shoestring budget.) Sharing what comedians, musicians, local businesses are up to, a bit of mucking about… that’s the idea.
