We are still looking for someone who is 65+, UK-based, neurodivergent (such as autism, ADHD, dyslexia), and has flown on an aeroplane.

We'll ask you questions over Zoom with a £50 Amazon voucher as a thank you.

My tariff prediction: prices go up in Canada and the US, people come to their senses, tariffs are removed, prices stay higher than they were pre-tariffs. Corporations win again.

Question for computer science educators that teach 10-13 year-olds: what platforms or tools do you use? I'm looking for things along the lines of Scratch (scratch.mit.edu). #computerScience #education
Scratch - Imagine, Program, Share
Scratch is a free programming language and online community where you can create your own interactive stories, games, and animations.

Does anyone else have Bluesky freeze up when you try to add a hash or tag a person or even try to paste text? If I try to do basically anything other than type plain text it freezes.

As a disabled web accessibility practitioner. This pisses me off. Extremely.

GENERATIVE AI DOES NOT AND CANNOT EVER REPRESENT DISABLED PEOPLE.

Just fucking hire disabled people like me who know what they're doing.

Believing AI over disabled people is ABLEISM and DEHUMANIZING. For fucks sake.
