It’s a sign of how extreme the weather has been in the UK this summer. We are at the beginning of August and the leaves on the Robinia tree in my front garden have turned autumnal yellow overnight. 🌱 #Gardening #Heatwave

These robots are big and the pistons on the arms and legs are beefy. I would not want to get in the way of one of these and that gives me real pause for thought. #ai #robotics #TeslaOptimus
I was in East Sheen today wandering around and spotted this glorious display of flowers covering a fore escape or side entrance to a flat above one of the shops on the high street. It just shows you can garden anywhere. 🌱 #gardening
One underdiscussed concern: accessibility. Keyboard-only users, people using eye-trackers, those with non-standard input methods — their interaction patterns will look nothing like typical mouse and keyboard behavior. Behavioral analysis can't tell intent from disability.
#DisabilityPride is not just about identity, but a clarion call about a greater understanding of what it means to be #human
Great presentations are accessible presentations because they make it possible for everyone to learn. This resource shares practical guidance to help build accessibility into presentation materials: https://f.mtr.cool/syoauxzxax #InclusiveDesign #AccessiblePresentations
There is a lovely structure to these pink roses and the scent is delightful. 🌱 #gardening #Photography
The back garden has more or less survived the last week of extreme heat. Now it’s nicer to be outside and potter in the garden. 🌱 #plants #gardening
Foolishness = holiday happiness. Probably my favourite photo from my recent trip to #tuscany. #tomfoolery #joy #summervibes☀️ This garden is next to the castle in Montepulciano.

“Don’t send a defect down the line” applies to #accessibility too. If barriers never ship, fewer people need workarounds later. New AXSChat podcast is live. Where should teams “shift left” first? www.buzzsprout.com/719037/episo...
The morning light in the front garden reveals a whole range of different and vibrant greens. I love this time of year. #gardening 🌱
Climbing rose on the front of my house is in full bloom and it is glorious! Blooms are tiny and only last a few days but when it is in full flower the perfusion and generosity of the blooms makes my heart sing. #gardening 🌱
Landora diffusa, the purple gromwell loves it in the barren rocky pebbles of the dry garden. 🌱
Thanks Apple for highlighting accessible games on the homepage :)
A theme park built for disability inclusion from the ground up & it’s for everyone. Morgan’s Wonderland shows what “ultra-accessible” really means, from rides to hiring. Want the blueprint for inclusive design? Listen to #AXSChat & tell us what resonated for you? www.buzzsprout.com/719037/episo...

A theme park where wheelchair users do not get parked in the front row, where sensory needs shape the design, and where “accessible” is not a single modified option, it is the whole experience. We sit...

Sometimes even the pests in the garden can be beautiful, like these beetles. Apparently they are recent introductions to the UK Chrysolina americana, common name rosemary beetle about to munch on the lavender in my garden. 🌱 #Gardening #NaturePhotography
More pink roses from the garden this time you can fully appreciate the beauty of the bloom. 🌱 #gardening
The roses are out in full force in both the front and back gardens. They smell and look glorious. 1st 3 pics are front garden last one is back garden. 🌱 # gardening
Possibly my favourite photo of the day. I love the way that the evening sunlight makes the white flowers of these Arum lilies glow. #plants #gardening #pictureoftheday #photography 🌱
Close up of the tiny white flowers on a clump of green Sagina.
The back garden is starting to get lush and finally the weather is warm enough to sit outside and enjoy it. 🌱 #gardening
