"Real people can't descope parts of their lived experience. The complexity of lived experiences still exists even if we don't research or design for it." @priyanca.bsky.social talked about how disabled people experience ambassador fatigue, and often have to "pick their favourite barrier".

Please stop calling your jobs Director of Digital when you really mean Head of IT. Digital and IT are not the same thing ffs.

Looking forward to speaking to Content Club folks about considering compounding barriers & intersectionality when we think about accessibility. Thank you @niacampbell.bsky.social @adrianortega.bsky.social @contentdesign.london for organising!

Haven't shared my weeknotes here in a while. I mostly write them for myself, so it felt a bit weird. But after a recent wobble, I know that connecting with people is what brings me joy at work, so here's last week's thoughts: medium.com/@niacampbell... @weeknotes-bot.bsky.social

The #curae - which is a unique (globally so) literary prize for unpaid carers - is possible because of a small team of writers who are judges with me, because of top writers, editors, two indie publishers, our amazing literary agents and course provider and everyone who contributed to the bursaries

In today's episode of D-I-why-do-I-even-bother: Had a drama-free few hours painting the hallway. No fluff-ups, bit suspicious. Came down the ladder thinking, maybe I've finally cracked this DIY thing... And dunked my foot right into a giant tub of paint. Up to my ankle. What a muppet. 🥸

👋 Anyone got great examples of annual report / review for a public sector org? Accessible, no fluff and waffle, to the point. HTML not designed for print as vanity document? Bonus point if you have any evidence to back up design approach?

"If you really need to tell people where something is, think about writing better content instead of using directions or locations." Lots of great advice in this post on how and why to avoid things like 'see above' and 'link below' in website content. 🙌

If you can help, please do. #curae is not publicly funded - it’s me and a very small volunteer team. We’re up to £820 on the bursary fund for our three eventual winners. Unpaid care is intersectional with financial hardship & many challenges. Let’s do this.

I can’t promise this talk will be educational but it will be painfully honest, potentially funny and delivered with passion - and there will be limited edition stickers 😆
