WCAG version 2.2 has been released into the wild! If you're a designer, you can find out from me and @new_zoeland how to start applying it in your work right now. We're speaking about it at @webdirections Summit in just (checks watch) 15 days!

Got myself a new phone case, really happy with the packaging- not a single bit of plastic in it! And the case is in perfect condition. Thankyou @PelaCase!

oh well in that case I think I have to send you a disappointed turtle (although having seen some of your SO answers I bet at least some of those images were well described in the visible text as part of the explanation)
A turtle in the ocean has a down turned mouth and flippers crossed in front. Text says "Turtle is not angry. Turtle is just disappointed in you."

Biscuit will sometimes visit me for a cuddle smelling strongly of rosemary from our garden. I wonder if he finds the herbal scent relaxing.

I’m such a hypocrite. For years I’ve been complaining about all the remakes and reboots showing a lack of original ideas in Hollywood. But as soon as @straczynski said there’s a Babylon 5 reboot happening I got so excited.

Had a great little break in Denmark last week - tried Dave’s cousin’s fish and chips, took the dogs to the beach, went to Boston Brewery.
A collage of 4 photos: me at the fish and chip shop, a small dog on a beach sitting waiting for Dave to get out of the water, a row of small beer glasses for tasting, fish and chips on a picnic table.

My in-laws got me the game Sequence for Christmas. It’s like Connect Four but you can only play a position if you have a card to match it.
A game board with 100 playing cards printed on it. Some of the cards have plastic chips placed on top of them, blue or green to represent each team.

You know the auto-play “features” on Netflix? You can turn them off if you go to the website settings. Account > Settings > Profile > Playback settings. I don’t know why you can’t do this in the apps. #a11y

1. Yes! But… 2. This talk was really helpful to me in deciding what else to learn out of the zillion options you have: piped.video/VBK6WDOOg2I 3. Google has a how-to section with all you need 4. abookapart.com/products/pric… 5. Content management systems!

I love that you have a searchable map on your site, but I can't close the search to look at the map. It's not urgent compared to outages, but maybe fix this before the next bit of wild weather?
