Delightful watch! I, too, am a DNF’er. My reading list is too long for me to stick around for a bad time. I may return to something later depending on the reasons for bailing in the first place.

Paul Celan said that the poem was no different from a handshake... The handshake is our decided ritual of both asserting (I am here) and handing over (here) a self to another. Hence the poem is that—Here. I am here. —Claudia Rankine, from Don't Let Me Be Lonely

As an accessibility specialist in the US I'm really interested in info about the European Accessibility Act (EAA) from the perspective of an EU accessibility professional. Please tag anyone who fits this bill and is posting/blogging/talking about the EAA from their POV! Please feel free to repost! 💙

*Looking for volunteers!* I along with the help of a few others are building a Mask Recommender Based on Facial Features. TLDR: Goal: scan a face with a phone to get accurate facial measurements, and get a list of masks that have high probability of fitting that individual's face.

If you see this, then post a vampire.

Plain language is communication that your audience can understand the first time they hear or read it. This varies by audience, of course. What is common vocabulary for academics won't necessarily be common for chemists, clergy, or engineers. Know your audience.
