What was Scar called, before he got his scar? Would he have been bad without it, or did he get it because he was bad? Perhaps society just persisted in sidelining him and calling him names, to the point where the only way to get attention was to be bad? theguardian.com/news/2023/mar/…

The worst thing about running power to the back of the garden is not having to dig a two foot trench 100 feet long, it's knowing every time that shovel goes into the ground that you'll be filling it all in again at the end of the day.

Anyone happen to know of a source for good but not super expensive air filters in the UK? Or am I just SOL? Planning a Corsi-Rosenthal project with some 5th/6th graders, but what's a fun $65 idea in the US is two or three times that over here.

It's been a tough few months since things fell apart in November last year, but I'm really excited to be joining Automattic today, working primarily on WordPress #accessibility. Looking forward to getting stuck in to some ATAG as well as WCAG!

Unfortunately (regardless of its unfortunate implementation!), I can only imagine that adding formatting like this as a premium feature is just going to drive the abuse of special characters further into the mainstream. Ho hum. I'm sure @TwitterA11y is on it, though…

"Hello, we're from St Someone's Catholic church" "Hello" "We have some events on Monday – would that be of interest at all?" "No, this is a Jewish household" "Oh..." (looking very confused) "Do you go to the synagogue in town?" "Yes" "Oh... interesting." *silence* 🤷‍♂️

I'm no pro tennis player, but I'm pretty sure this is cheating. Is it any wonder they're doing well when there's three of them?!

What does it actually mean when an app or website has an option for "screen reader optimisation"? Why is that a choice? "We cut corners so as not to degrade the overall performance for most people, but we'll happily make things slower so you can have full access if you want."
