This is cool! National Autistic Taskforce offering small funding awards to autistic people based in the UK, for work supporting autistic people to live their best lives. Closing date is 28th Feb. nationalautistictaskforce.org.uk/nat-founders...

Honestly feeling if I wanted to infect humanity with a consciousness virus. ChatGpt5 is the one. Basically makes you type 'yes' all day, it's a dopamine gambling machine.

Okay, ten years of trying to understand why my #ADHD self has a better job getting up at 5:30am than 8am and I found out in my half day Ayuveda workshop, this is a known human experience. Are we Neurodivergent folk simply more sensitive to the rhythms of the earth?

The great "#ADHD tax" = forgetting and loosing your bitcoin password so you couldn't sell in 2017's All time high. The great "ADHD WIN" = finding your bitcoin password 8 years later, so you can sell at this years ATH. And here was me ignorantly thinking tax had no return.

We get disengaged and start interacting with humans? Human mistakes make us interesting. How boring did football become when we introduced cameras to help make decisions for referees to ensure pinpoint accuracy? We hated drama. Then hated the absence of it.

What happens to social media when it's all bots responding to messages and each other?

Learning accessibility! A11yconsultant.com, an interactive approach to learning CPACC, was shared by so many over the last few days. Top 5 countries in order of engagement: United States, United Kingdom, Spain, Germany, India. ⭐ 10k more question attempts ⭐ 350 new sign-ups

@disabilitydaily.bsky.social wow what a great idea!

39.8k questions answered on #Accessibility God, building and sending this around feels like a teeny tiny drop in the ocean and a push-back on global events and anti-disability rhetorics. Make learning about inclusion more inclusive. Making it addictive, that could be a good thing, right? 😅

You've all been so busy learning accessibility! - Over 38,000 quiz questions attempted!!! 😍 - Fridays and Mondays are the most active learning days (who's cramming?) - Most active countries: United States, United Kingdom, India, Spain, Canada

Science with @fergus.oolong.co.uk and Helen starts tomorrow! 1 space left - not too late for tomorrow or your young person could join the following week. Book here: www.gr0ve.org/online-groups/

New features for a11yconsultant.com I’m experimenting with learning styles and techniques; like space learning and calculating what areas you need to focus to pass exams. It’s a super helpful exam, gives a good foundation. Just a bit hard to navigate!

This looks like the start of something very useful indeed... #accessibility

Oops, may have broke registration for a11yconsultant.com emails being sent. Finding it weird to setup dev and live versions of servers atm with @supabase.com, getting there.

This but me hard last week while in hospital. I rated my headache a 2-3 out of 10. Impacting the damaged nerves in my tailbone is a 10. My gallstones were a 5-6. Turns out it was a migraine level headache. Whoops.

Interesting. freespoons.co.uk has made about £4 so far in affiliate sales in a week. Half the income hasn’t come from listed products; If someone goes on Amazon through your link but buys something entirely different like a plant pot. You earn from that!

Building day!!! What to do? * Add WAS exam to a11yconsultant.com * Add voting on products for freespoons.co.uk so you can find best products for your access needs * Build new challenges for WCAG challenger

I'm determined to collect data to disprove myth once and for all DISABLED PEOPLE DON'T HAVE MONEY We do. We're buying products to overcome challenges. We're problem solvers. Research showed many products people bought were not 'assistive'. Companies do not know there's a whole demographic #A11y

Do you have trouble finding assistive technology? What about simple technology that will actually just help you on a day to day life? Like cooking? Did you know there's soup makers that blend, cook soup in 21 minutes and are easy to clean? Perfect for down days! Have a look! freespoons.co.uk

3 questions to ask before starting a design project: - What are the measures of success? - How will the users benefit from this project? - What can go wrong, and how can I mitigate the risk?

I had to build a chrome extension to remove articles from the @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social home page that contain 'Musk' or 'Farage'. I don't want to have to filter through nonsense to find useful news. It's free and open source: github.com/ashleypeacoc... #FreedomOfChoice #LoveNotHate

People complain about the Labour government's economic decisions. Time will tell. It's early days for me to have any judgement on them. All I know is me and my colleagues can get a drs appointment for the first time in 5 years.

The way London rent and housing is going; "Shared ownership" becomes the new way to "rent" because it's far cheaper per month than renting We'll basically all need to invest a "deposit" to live / work in London. Huge economic disparity.

#Accessibility shouldn't be so painful to learn. Learning tool for Accessibility now labels questions as "Mastered" once you've answered correctly 3 times. Now we can focus time learning and understanding the topics that are legit gaps in our knowledge and quickly improve. a11yconsultant.com

Anyone have insight into the European Accessibility Act and how it applies to content writing? #A11y #AccessibleContent #Accessibility #EAA

I definitely have a value that rote learning facts without standing creates stupidity. So, learning with links to sources and material is super important - people should know where facts come from! Also it’s far more fun going down accessibility learning rabbit holes!

Now I need to figure out a nice way to learn the ins and outs of the European accessibility act!

Adding a 'master' feature for learning. At the moment it each quiz gives you random questions from the database. That's a bit dull, so once you've mastered a question, you can choose not to display it. Quicker tracking and learning 👍 #A11y #MakeAccessibilityAccessible

* A11yconsultant.com now has nearly 190 questions that will help you learn CPACC. * CPACC is actually pretty useful for getting the lay of the land.
