I never knew that Jane Austen had written the story of my life… haha!

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”

What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”

Funny how that works.

They were a sad, weird motley crew that also included some truly deep thinkers. I guess that being so privileged gives some a very disproportionate sense of entitlement.

Do not cram alt text with keywords just to improve search engine optimization. This will hinder alt text’s true purpose: improving accessibility. Focus on describing the photo's content. Search engine optimization should not be the goal for writing good alt text.

ADD YOUR NAME ✍️ We will not be divided after Bondi On Sunday at Bondi we witnessed the appalling consequences of hatred and how it breeds radicalisation and violence. But as the Jewish community and the whole country grieved, some politicians went on ...

The Bondi tragedy hurts not only Australian Jews, but other communities as well. “Us vs Them” isn’t the way to get ahead.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Sound advice, but I need to point this out regarding ‘jargon’: it can be explained. Glossaries are always useful and help learners’s entry into complex topics: neuroscience, quantum mechanics, computational linguistics, etc., etc., have their own terminology. Let’s not dumb knowledge down, please!

Pretty sad, isn’t it?

Some will publish podcasts but wait up to 24 hours before adding transcripts instead of publishing them together. The end goal should be to have the transcript ready at the same time as the podcast. This will require multiple teams working together toward that goal.

Or an accurate AI platform.

“Persuasion” has enormous depth. In many ways, it’s a psychological novel.

Try Wix. It’s flexible and easy to learn.

For screen readers to recognize headings, heading text can't just be body text or normal text that's been made to look bigger and bolder. It must be formatted as a heading. In Microsoft Word and Google Docs, this can be done in the styles box. In HTML, use the tags h1 through h6.

I used to have one that my cats chased away 😳
He, the huntsman, used to stare at me working away on my computer, but when I got the cats, their presence scared ‘my’ huntsman away 😂

Ho, ho, ho! Santa Claus and lessons in crisis communication: excellent food for thought.

That’s such a good description of yours truly when she was a child… 😳😂🤪

Jane Austen’s psychological profiles are amazingly all encompassing 👍🏼

Get in the habit of bringing up accessibility at meetings, in stand-ups, and in demos. Bring up things you've done to address accessibility. Likewise, don't be afraid to ask, "Have we tested this on a keyboard?" or "What's the experience like on a screen reader?"
