I randomly stumbled upon Fujio Kito, an artist who documents Japanese playgrounds at night. It was a fun little rabbit hole to follow. fujio-pand-park.tumblr.com

I chuff on about accessibility a lot. It's important. Usually droning on about alt text. Anyway, if you'd like to know how to make *digital things you make* more inclusive you could do a lot worse than look at this visual guide to designing for accessibility: ukhomeoffice.github.io/accessibilit...
Cover to guide. Reads: Designing for accessibility and shows 6 symbols. A muted pastel colour wheel, a computer monitor with an audio symbol, an eye crossed out, a jumble of letters that would spell dyslexia if in right order, a person with a walking stick and an ear with a line through it.
