I’ve backed Library Labyrinth on Kickstarter - can’t wait, it looks like a completely awesome board game. We have Disarm the Base also from Dissent Games and love it but I think this is going to be even better! Give it a look? kickstarter.com/projects/disse…

You know the push-button spring clips that hold tubes together- tent poles, kayak paddles, crutches, various metal tube frames? Is there a tool for pushing the buttons/joining the tubes without using a lot of hand strength? These are the clips I mean: springmasters.com/product-catego…

If you haven't tried it yet, check out Settings -> Accessibility -> Live Captions (Beta); this is one of many amazing #a11y features in iOS 16. The feature captions any audio out OR in! Honored to have worked on this and beyond stoked for the team to have shipped it!

Overhearing parents educating their children about guide dogs and disability in general is one of my favourite things. Especially when they do it without involving me in the process. 🧡

I did another "why deaf people don't hear like hearing people" training today. I keep wondering if I could do an online one mainly aimed at deaf/HOH people and raise enough money from tickets (on a sliding scale) to cover BSL/STTR + Β£ for my time. Would folk be interested?

Who’s doing really awesome stuff with inclusive service design at the moment?? Inclusive = intersectionally justice led, not just β€˜accessible’ Service design = not just UX / digital πŸ™πŸΌ
