#Disabled folks, particular people who use assistive technology for web browsing, how do you feel #accessibility has been improving or not over the last few years?
This is for a talk I want to write about the actual impact of accessibility regulations and compliance. Boosts and thoughts welcome!

Your enemy isn't traveling by small boat.
They're traveling by private jet.
Boundless (previously Unbound) are absolute scam merchants.
They haven’t paid authors.
They cancelled readers’ orders without refunding them.
They will not enter into any discussion over refunds.
I would never use them again, and would strongly advise authors and readers to steer well clear.
The WRU have decided to cut the Welsh Exiles programme, because they think a fucking Zip wire is better value.
Please sign this petition to tell them to stop being a bunch of self-serving cretins.
Thanks.
Absolutely astonishing. These are all too good to eat! They belong in a gallery 😍
These are incredible!

Toowit towoo 🦉
The Supreme Court sided with For Women Scotland. Not one trans person was heard. Every intervening org was openly transphobic. This ruling sets a dangerous precedent and erases trans women from protections. It’s disgusting! To our trans sibling, we won’t stop fighting for you and your rights 🏳️⚧️
The Supreme Court ruling is a travesty.
The existing rights of trans people - a minority - are denied without allowing that minority to give evidence or set out their argument.
Instead, all evidence was taken from anti LGBTQ + organisations.
This is appalling.
It’s a massive step backwards, the ‘women’ who campaigned for this are not my sisters.
@wiswell.bsky.social finished reading Someone You Can Build A Nest In last night, and I loved it.
The way you describe things is a joy-I saw the whole book as a film in my head.
Looking forward to Wearing The Lion.
How one person can contain so much hate for people whose lives have absolutely zero effect on them, is way beyond me.
Color photo of a white lily blossom, overlaid with a black skull and cross bones and text that reads “no lilies for kitties”.
It's time to start reminding people: LILIES ARE DEADLY FOR CATS. The leaves, the petals, the stem, even drinking a bit of vase water or licking a few grains of pollen from their fur can cause fatal kidney failure. ⚠️ www.fda.gov/animal-veter...
Two rugby players in blue and white kit, both players have one knee strapped. Taller player is presenting shorter player with a bottle of port for Player of the Match.
So proud of our boy, getting a Player of the Match award in his first season of 1st XV senior rugby, in a match that sees them into the finals of the Stroud Combination Cup.
#ProudToBeStroud
To insult two highly respected and free thinking politicians like this is disgraceful.
It just shows how far standards in society have fallen.
Anyone reposting this insulting photograph should feel utterly ashamed.
😡
Davies here! Williams before marriage!
We were reminiscing about the delights of Viz to our 19yo the other day, I’d completely forgotten about Black Bag! One of my favourites at the time.
Individual book requests will be posted in a while, but in the meantime allies can also donate towards the funding pot which will go towards buying nice books for trans people to enjoy as a lil gift: penfightdistro.com/shop/trans-d...
Are you trans, UK-based, and a book enjoyer? @penfight.bsky.social are doing a "Trans Day of Visibility / Staying In And Having A Nice Snack/Book" initiative where cis allies can buy trans people the books they request 📖 🏳️⚧️
Form for trans people to request books here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
She needs to work on her hide & seek game 😹😹😹
Yet another reason not to visit the USA! This is horrific. 1984 Thought Police in action.
This looks delicious! Will definitely try it.
I definitely read your post in Ms Casey’s voice…
How could you be cross with such an innocent looking beauty? 😹😻
I would love to see this. Saw David Tennant & Cush Jumbo in Macbeth at the Harold Pinter last October, that was incredibly good.
I saw that performance too, it was absolutely incredible!
If you’re cis & you want trans folks to know they’re valid and cared for, here’s a tip: Don’t say it to a trans person. Go talk to a cis person.
Talk to your dad. Your coworker. Your friends. Ask if they know whats going on. Ask if they have uncertainties when it comes to the ~trans issue.~
Coming back to this, the bulk of contemporary demographic data favours 'gender' as a category. That's not just for research on gender specifically, but any research where gender might be a variable. Which for health, development, education and social care is...most of it. All to be scrubbed.
