I’ve worked really hard this year & I’m so proud of myself.
I’m so grateful for every single individual & company (especially the smaller ones - @tetralogical.com, @piccalil.li, @polypane.app, @openwebdocs.org, The A11y Project) that has financially backed me &/or held me up with morale! 💕

This was a huge amount of work for everybody involved, with @lea.verou.me staying up so late to work on this that she more or less ended up matching my own work hours despite living on the opposite side of the globe…
So I hope you enjoy the results!

The absurdity of UK policy gets much easier to understand when you remember that most policy suggestions are the outcome of a vendor's sales pitch.

I’ve made less money this year than I have since my first year working in tech 11years ago.
But I still maintain that working for myself has been the biggest/best accessibility accommodation I’ve made for myself.

I’ve been on both sides of the table. As a customer, if I want to contact you, let me do that! As a software support worker an unreasonably large % of my job was sending links to a knowledge base article.
If there's a better way to let people know you're available for work than writing a curse word laden blog post, I simply do not want to hear it!
Jokes aside, what do YOU call this kind of contact page?
