All I do is work, catastrophise and obsess over everthing but this might be interesting to people with like...hobbies.

Ermahgerd - my favourite book has released a hardcover version. This would make a lovely gift for the designer in your team...or me 😜 abbycovert.com/product/coll...

If you’re in Bristol the night before @pixelpioneers.co and enjoy the colour orange, come hang out with us at the Just Eat office! 🧡 We’re on the harbourside a couple of mins from the venue.

It’s lovely to see the Just Eat seagull is back sitting on her nest outside our cafe. I’d never seen a baby seagull before last year, they are fluffy!

Happy Global Accessibility Awareness Day! Big thanks to @londonwebstandards.org for inviting me to speak at their accessibility event and for publishing talks in an accessible format. Every little helps! #GAAD #a11y

Fantastic opportunity if you’re looking for a move to accessibility #a11y

Please support @bell.bz on this, it's a brilliant idea. I'm so grateful for all the generous people who have taught me about code and accessibility for free. If you're the same, this is a nice way to pay it forward 👇

Accessibility week is incoming! On Tuesday I'm speaking at London Web Standards alongside @craigabbott.co.uk and Matthew Atkinson. Grab a ticket👇 londonwebstandards.org/events/lwsma... #LWSMay2025 #GAAD

I have met the BEST people at these conference - folks who have opened doors for me on jobs, side quests and speaking opportunities. Indie events are priced affordably and many offer diversity scholarships. Buy tickets early!

Design tools shape outcomes. I wish Figma would put more effort into supporting accessibility semantics, nudging designers toward more considered choices.

Matt Webb's newsletter is the only thing I consistently read to the end every week. I am in awe how someone's brain can generate so many unique ideas and correlations: interconnected.org/home/2025/05...

Things that keep me awake at night - @lolaodelola.bsky.social’s proposal of a prefers-alt-text media query 🤔 #accessibilty

Cheers #AllDayHey fam! It was an honour speaking. I mentioned a coupon code for complete-css.com Use ALLDAYHEY for 30% off

Met some lovely folks at #AllDayHey today ❤️Props to @philhawksworth.dev for exception levels of Vibe Hosting™. Thoughtful slides on digital exclusion from @sareh88.bsky.social

Caroline’s focus on data quality is timely with the all-pervading infiltration of AI. Looking forward to reading and hearing more this year…

That moment when you check your train ticket and hotel booking, then begin to wonder if you actually booked a ticket to the conference all those months ago 🤔

Accessibility people - is there a way to share app VoiceOver audio in a Google Meet call when casting from an iPhone? The only way to share computer audio in Meet is via a Chrome tab and my casting software (Reflector) doesn't open in a browser. Please tell me I am missing some giant obvious thing 🙈

Catching up today. Thought this was such a good article on error messages that I nearly forwarded it to @amyhupe.bsky.social ...then I realised that she wrote it 😅
