It’s Global Accessibility Awareness Day! #GAAD There are loads of accounts on Bluesky posting brilliant things BUT without alt text - which means lots of us will not repost these. Alt text is really easy to add and Bluesky even has a setting to stop you posting images without it 1/

A few questions - is this new money or will it be taken from already overstretched HE budgets? Will it be single academics or teams? Will 'world leading' Irish academics and teams get similar supports? What are the quality criteria? #edchatie #educationalresearch www.independent.ie/irish-news/p...
Government offering to pay higher salaries to attract leading academics fleeing Donald Trump’s education threats
The Government will seek to attract academics and ­university lecturers to Ireland under a new scheme which would use state funds to boost their salaries.

#GuideDog Gaston is 7 today. He got a new toy for his birthday, he loves soft toys. Gaston had made a big difference to my life since I got him in 2020. #ChangingLives
A Labrador Retriever with a light golden coat is holding a purple plush toy with an orange beak in its mouth. The dog is looking directly at the camera with a curious expression.

5 years today Gaston (Guide Dog) and myself came back from training in Cork. We’ve had many adventures over the years. #ChangingLives.

She is wearing a red sweater and a long necklace & a guide dog on the ground beside her. 2nd image: The same woman is sitting on the ground in front of a large stone sculpture of a horse. She is wearing a bright orange jacket and has a guide dog, a Labrador Retriever, sitting beside her. 3rd image: A close-up of the Labrador Retriever with its mouth open and tongue out, enjoying the outdoors. In the background, there is a scenic view of rolling hills. 4th image: Labrador Retriever is sitting in the passenger seat of a yellow vrace car, with a harness on.

Do you forget to use alt-text when you post images? I'm forgetful, too. Fortunately, you can turn on reminders!

Settings -> Accesibility -> Require alt text.

Done! Easy accessibility.
