It only feels uncomfortable initially then it just becomes habitual.

The great thing about these sorts of experiences is that you can dine out on them forever.

The ultimate font face-off: Serif vs sans serif in the psychological battle of font personalities β€” Type Tasting Times New Roman or Calibri? Does changing your font make a difference?

Not necessarily- research shows that serif fonts are no harder to read than sans serif overall - varies for individuals of course www.typetasting.com/blog-1/2023/...

As a privileged middle-class dilettante who creates / plays music just for a hobby I totally agree that art in all forms needs to be viable as a career. JS Bach wouldn’t have produced the volume of genius work he did if he wasn’t paid to compose new cantatas every week.

75% being an accessibility advocate (in digital product spaces at least) is explaining the different definitions of disability, and what accessibility actually is.

When it clicks, people usually realize how many people actually need accessibility.

They apparently work fine in Scandinavian countries so should be able to cope with our coldest days.

Did you get into the whole discussion about how ripe they need to be? Some people like them fairly green. I want them yellow and would rather not eat them until they are at this stage:

Great drama and scale. Could be one of those β€œhow many triangles” can you see and it’s definitely more than 9 3/4.

Two circular silver brooches with large central semi precious looking stones, one dark red, the other amber. The amber one has five little amber stones round the silver disc.

Some people think the area I live in is quite wealthy / posh, but honestly we are pretty average. We eat the same jammy dodgers as everyone else, both strawberry and apricot varieties:

Look, it’s trite to say, but I’m gonna say it anyway: tell your people that you love them. Apologize when you screw up, check in just to say hi, celebrate every mundane happiness you can with them. They need it more than you know, and so do you.

I don’t know why people seem to love centre-aligned text so much. Maybe the sign writers need to use space responsibly too. πŸ˜‰

β€œPick up the doggy and do take it home” could also work. A bit like β€œpets must be carried on escalators”.

Interestingly the UK public sector is also largely unencumbered by the EAA because we adopted the EU directive on public sector accessibility into UK law and we are no longer part of the European Union.

If you've had any UX/accessibility wins lately tell us please. I need to know tech isn't all just slop and feature chasing. I've been SPIRALING.

More power to your elbow (probably a very English expression - I don’t know where you are based).
