Did you know that Firefox honours the Mac OS X Keyboard setting which (by default) disables keyboard navigation between controls. Unless this is enabled, hyperlinks are skipped when tabbing between interactive element.
A gotcha if you develop websites.

The cost of living crisis just got worse for designers. I'm glad we switched to Affinity by Serif some years ago.
Fun times ahead for #Adobe designers. Today, if you open a PSD (even one that's 20 years old) with an obscure PANTONE colour, it will remove the colour and make it black. Pantone want US$21/month for access, and Solid Coated goes behind the paywall in early November.

At Scaramanga, we have always cared about the needs of everyone.
To practise what we preach, the team had an online session learning the basics of British Sign Language with @theatresign.

The inability to scroll the image listing to add Alt text in @instagram didn’t make it a very accessible experience for me. #a11y

When we live in a world where equality matters, I still don’t understand the need to typographically represent billing in this way. Every actor is of importance in my opinion. #EqualRightsForActors #TypographyMatters Great cast BTW.
