Saddened to see another charity toppled. But will never forget attending a wedding where the father of the groom's speech extolled the virtutes of Relate and how if the couple ever encountered issues, even though it didn't save his own marriage, should go to a session or two. *Awkward*

Well, hi there @charitycomms.bsky.social 😊

Please don’t forget to make your content accessible over here. Here’s a few things you can do. Add alt text to images, memes and gifs. Caption your videos. Capitalise the first letter of each word in hashtags. Limit emojis to one or two per post, and put them at the end. Avoid using fancy fonts.

I've had to spend a bit of time researching on Companies House today and going to and fro the landing page. I don't mind admitting that It's making me inordinately anxious to see all the links changed to red. Why so shouty?

Anyone ever actually been asked to produce a business case for web accessibility? What do you do when someone asks ‘what’s the evidence’ how do you articulate it? Apart from stuttering…. ethics… law…WCAG... best practice, it’s not my natural home. Making a nest though and looking for pointers.
