Seriously you're missing out some serious Posting if you're not following me on substack

Lads why are we struggling away on Bluesky when there are people Posting, yes, really Posting, on Substack?

Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...

Political violence is bad but me and my mates need to set fire to this hotel because it contains people I don’t know personally but don’t like the idea of. Political violence is bad but I support the right of a country to kill hundreds of thousands of civilians because I’ve deemed them terrorists

How lovely are these notes from mine and @lifeofablindgirl.bsky.social's talk at @accessgiven.bsky.social?

£274bn is the spending power of disabled people in the UK. The difference between accommodations for disabled people and non disabled people is ableism. #AccessGiven25

At #AccessGiven25 inaugural conference in Newcastle. First new thing for me is audio descriptions of yourself (gender, race / colouring, hair style and clothes!) Up first, @lifeofablindgirl.bsky.social and Helen Dutson. “We want you here too.” 🖤 Meaning, accessibility efforts are a love note.

One thing the government needs to consider is that when the emergency alerts go off some of us are watching Sean Lock compilations and thus immediately dismiss it without registering

Not a lot of people know that Gary is actually short for Garold

Saw an older gent arrive home at his cottage with a dozen red roses in the crook of his arm (romantic) before I realised it was actually a multipack of KitKats (swoon)

@heldutson.bsky.social and @lifeofablindgirl.bsky.social share their genius about making accessibility creative ...and @ettiebaileyking.bsky.social discuss how to cut through the overwhelm and communicate in a way that’s clear, simple, and (nearly) impossible to misunderstand.

You heard them come and hear our genius 🥲

You read that right. We've only got a handful of tickets left for Access:Given next Wednesday at Newcastle Helix. So, if you want to hear...

Feel like pure shit just want the mini crossword back

Fantastic moment in town yesterday with a default Manc lad wearing a bucket hat: Lad: 'Ere-ya, mate, what's that film your Foxcatcher t-shirt is off? Tom: ... Lad: Ah, yeh! Foxcatcher, innit! AhahahHAHAHA. Good film.

God just this image really gets me. Like all we get to see of these two men is their skin colour. And there being two of them shows how its systematised. And the technology to show efficiency and security. Its so simple but horrifying and the pm thinks its brilliant promotion

I got about 20 new followers off the back of this, which is literally 10% of my total follower base. Got stage fright now

You should probably follow Helen, who was one of the funniest people on twitter and wrote a whole book using a vintage typewriter

I am one of the 14 authors who chose to leave the Polari Prize, and I find myself frustrated and saddened at the way this entire story has been represented. 1/

I've written about deceptive patterns in my latest article on LinkedIn. It's a bit of a primer that I originally wrote for a non-technical audience. www.linkedin.com/pulse/decept...

It happened again

I have a conspiracy theory about social media algorithms. They say: "you're all seeing less organic reach because we made X and Y change to the algorithm." My theory: they're covering for the fact that people have become disillusioned with social and are using it less, so it's quieter

My friend: [coming over for one (1) cup of tea] My brain: "well, we'll obviously need to rinse any hair off the shampoo bottles in case she wants a shower."

Hi guys, Joe Media let me go, I know the job market in the UK is totally fucked right now but just putting myself out there again, I can write, present, sing, dance (I can't sing or dance actually). Happy to accept any side missions also x

📣 We’d like to hear from you! Bluesky is rolling out age verification as part of the Online Safety Act, which aims to reduce the risk of children seeing harmful content. We’ve heard that blind and partially sighted folks are unable to verify their age because it’s inaccessible. Have you tried?

I just verified my age by showing off the 'under construction' GIF on my piczo website

This prob isn't a Bluesky thing but I've set up a lil venture hawking accessibility training for money. Give it a share or a look if it sounds relevant I guess? calendly.com/helen-dutson...

Love this time of year when nature is like "oi, want any fruit, nob'ead?!"

I was once said: "Isn't it funny how British people like Mr. Brightside more than Americans do!" and someone commented along the lines of: "typical from a genocidal coloniser"

Finally went viral on Bluesky!! (15 likes)

AGENT: Tell us about the new book then. STEPHEN KING: Well, it's about these kids that are terrorised by a scary clown. AGENT: Luv it. SK: The clown is from another dimension and lives with a turtle who created the universe. AGENT: Okay. SK: And at the end of the book all the kids f --

I am speaking

MEET THE SPEAKERS Helen Dutson and Holly Tuke will be the first to take the stage on Wednesday 10th September at @newcastlehelix for our first Access:Given event. @heldutson.bsky.social @lifeofablindgirl.bsky.social

I understand why it is good that we are now having these inquiries and publishing these findings but every time I see a headline like this it feels very much like “yes and water is wet” I’m glad we now have an official record of this fact that we have known for a while

"I asked ChatGPT" "I asked Grok" ok well I asked Gandalf and he said he has not passed through fire and death to bandy crooked words with a witless worm

🚨 Three months to go! In three months, on 10th September, Access:Given will be taking place at Newcastle Helix. We've got great speakers @ettiebaileyking.bsky.social , @craigabbott.co.uk, @heldutson.bsky.social , @lifeofablindgirl.bsky.social and @rachelanne.bsky.social of @contentdesign.london/

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

It's the content you didn't know you needed: the A - Z of National Trust bums. From Apollo's muscular behind to a porcelain figure of Zeus's derriere, we hope you enjoy 🍑

What do we want? To walk ten metres without bumping into a Lime Bike, stray wheelie bin, or cafe A-board in the middle of the pavement. When do we want it? Whenever you’ve got a sec to pop out and move them.

they should release a report about how transgender people are cool

you don't need chatGPT i am perfectly capable of drinking a bottle of water and lying to you

Not many people know that AA Milne had a much smaller brother called AAA Milne
