Lou's got you covered!

Reminder: Alt text is first and foremost an accessibility feature.

Its purpose is to help humans who can't see your images understand them. This benefits SEO because it also allows search engines to understand them, but the point is the humans 💜

I prefer “anti-fascist“ for a host of reasons and this is a nice practical one.

If anyone knows any Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander women, BB/SG/trans, and/or non-binary folks talking about business and/or leadership, I'd love to hear who your faves are!

As someone who's been to a decent few events designed to support women in business and leadership (private and govt-funded), I think this was the first Aboriginal speaker/presenter I've seen thusfar. I'd love to see more! 💖

As someone who grew up on Yamatji (Ynggarda/Watjarri) Country, it was *so* nice to see a multi-businesses-owner Yamatji Badimaya woman presenting at the Boorloo/WA Chamber Change this morning 🖤🥰❤️

The Less You Know About AI, the More You Are Likely to Use It AI can seem magical to those with low AI literacy, a new study finds. That, in turn, might make them more willing to try it.

So new studies showcase that the more you know how GenAi works, the less likely you are to use it! 😌

This reminds me of ai advocates who claim that those who refuse to use GenAi do so because they dont know how it works, yet it’s the opposite!
The less you know the more you are likely to use GenAi

A screenshot of 5 emails over 14 days that all have the subject line and preview "Still there? You haven't been active lately, so I'm just checking in.

When you start getting these emails the day after you unsubscribe from someone's list...

(I actually replied to the first one to say "I've unsubscribed from your list, don't threaten to remove me, just stop emailing me")

Don't do this. It's both illegal and fucking annoying 🙃
