@threehourcoffee.bsky.social Hi, Marie, may I talk with you offline about accessibility for the Llama Life site?

“I said, ‘Do you speaka my language?’ He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich…” That’s where many of us learned our pronunciation.

Finally … my dream’s this close to coming true!

Yes, this is precisely why I refused to upload my ID to Facebook when they required it for verification. I’m locked out of my account, but…

Hey, everyone, I’ve been trying to decide how much and how I’ll use BlueSky. I’m not working anymore, thanks to long COVID and some other conditions. I’m still interested in #accessibility since it’s critical for any #disabled person. But I’ll be peeking around as much as I’m able. 👋🏽

AccessForAll here and back there. Focused on accessibility for dev, design, and written content + great UX for all.

Would love to be added!

Thanks for this, Mina! I’d love to be added.
