List of some of the resources I'm using to build up my Digital Accessibility #A11y skills! Hope it will be helpful for others wanting to learn, especially other disabled folks. I have tried to include mix of formats and content and not assume knowledge.

@livvythepink @BexBookaholic Yes I had it around something similar and also wish I had made a smart remark, it sucks that it stays with us and they probably immediately forget, smart remark or not.

Overheard teens in the shop recently. 'Do you know why it is called Marvel / Marble?' (Couldn't make our which one they were saying) 'no...' 'I'll Google it or if Google doesn't know I'll ChatGTP it' ...

@eigenrobot This seems more likely to relate to living in flats without outside space or indoor stairs tbh.

It was much needed on Monday and continues to be needed. Doing things ourselves to build community connection online and offline and build each other up seems so crucial right now. Like or comment and I'll give you a compliment 😀

@thespikyclub @char1iewatts My friend went to Cambridge for maths and he had a Maths tutorial first thing on a Saturday morning. Only like two students and a tutor, so literally no way to hide! Sounded brutal.

@char1iewatts At Southampton I was scheduled with 45 minutes classes back to back with not enough time to get between them, let alone to get an accessible seat. Definitely would have preferred them spread out a bit! Felt like I was in a relay race 🤨

@Peter_de_Meteor @char1iewatts It drives down the dual carriageway and goes past Avonmeads, but as far as I can tell doesn't actually stop there, stops at Sandy Park Road and then you have to walk. Needed to go there recently and had to taxi in the end as I can't walk that far.
