Jens Oliver Meiert 🇺🇳 🇵🇸On Title Case:
Casual thoughts about my experience with title case, a recent switch from AP-inspired to NYT-governed guidelines, and the respective guidelines themselves.
Tor Kingdon@soaproot I stopped reading it, but as far as I can tell I'm the first person to use it as the only hashtag in a toot. My favorite was someone who said hashtags should be "#CamelCase" [sic] while using #titleCase
geobeckAnother #accessibility tip:
If a hashtag includes multiple words, use #camelCase or #TitleCase.
If the second and subsequent words in a hashtag are capitalized, a screen reader will read them as multiple words instead of trying to pronounce one long, weird word. This helps users with visual impairments or other reasons for using a screen reader.

HistoPol (#HP) 🏴 🇺🇸 🏴...and don't forget to write #hashtags consisting of several words (not compounds) in
#TitleCase, #ForExampleLikeThis,
which is also called #CamelCase,
for the benefit of the visually impaired people using #screenreaders. Thank you.

A Game to help make connections: Name 5-7 things that interest you but are not listed in your profile as tags so they are searchable, then boost this post or repeat its instructions so others can do the same. Let’s try this… #witch #hermeticism #astrology #medievalhistory #classicalhistory #ancienthistory #labormovement
AwattoAnalog@elan @jamesbritt I've always called this #TitleCase but I'm happy to learn of #CamelCase & #PascalCase too!
Max Leibman has moved!I keep seeing the tip that capitalizing the first letters of words in hashtags—either #camelCase or #TitleCase—makes it easier for screen readers to parse.
And that is true, and more than enough reason to do it, but this is a great example of how accessibility is for everyone, because, guess what?
Capitalizing each word in your hashtags also makes them easier for fully-sighted people to parse.
Volkan ÖzçelikAccidentally left the caps lock on and typed something, but can't be bothered to start again and retype it all?

ZeborahTop 4 things for new #NZTwits to try out:
1) #Hashtags: They power #search here so use them liberally. For multiword hashtags use #TitleCase for readability.
2) #Boosts: (Like #retweet.) Should more people see a post? You can make it happen!
3) #ContentWarnings: Look for the CW or ! icon when you post. It lets others choose whether or not to view posts about eg food/alcohol, #NZpol, selfies/eye contact, other triggers.
4) #TeReo: Not a Mastodon function but hey, me kōrero tātou!

This is the midweek edition of Culture Study — the newsletter from Anne Helen Petersen, which you can read about here. If you like it and want more like it in your inbox, consider subscribing. In 2006, Karen Ho was an anthropology student at Princeton. She wanted to study the culture of Wall Street, and she understood that the easiest way to gain real access was to work there herself. She had virtually no qualifying experience, but because she was a student at Princeton — one of the handful of schools that Wall Street firms deem acceptable in their search for the ‘best of the best’ — she was able to finagle a low level position. With time, she built enough connections and trust that dozens of bankers agreed to sit with her for an interview. The resultant book,
