Like a stoned 1st year politics student at the end of Freshers week, #BBCLauraK is getting guests to rank their favourite cultures. Drunk 3rd year Badenoch is pitching for separating each one into "cool / not cool". Hopefully next week they'll repurpose the Top Gear 'cool wall'

On the big issues (like how much should we obsess over immigration: completely or just most of the time) @RobertJenrick doesn't want to "debate these things" as that's damaging to the party, he wants to "settle these things". I wonder what that means? Possibly nothing #BBCLauraK

TIL 1/12 men have red-green color-blindness. It's not just a horrible stylistic choice that makes you look like a cheap Christmas decoration, it's an #a11y gotcha.

`@drmonkeyninja makes a case against off-the-shelf 'accessibility widgets': "It's fools gold", they often make #a11y problems worse.

Small businesses are exempt from #EEA rules - so important if you're dealing with businesses who not only have no concern for their (disabled?) customers but also have no desire for growth! #FrontEndSheff

I can't wait for this tomorrow. Really in a 'ready to learn' mode. @kitation has spoken at the #FrontEndSheff meetup before & I took away real, tangible, actionable ways I can improve my work.

Inexplicably (!) we still have tickets available for our Introduction to Screen Readers workshop this Thursday (25th July). We are thankful to experienced #a11y expert @kitation for agreeing to facilitate!
