1. The August weather continues in Vermont, giving us time to stack the last of the wood, put the gardens to bed and hike.
2. I just deleted every game from my iPhone and look forward to the extra time I will have each day.
3. This space seems to be attracting some very nice people relieved and surprised that people here are so gracious and civil.
Starting again with a new profile, so time for an #introduction -
Hi! I'm Ben Werdmuller. I've been a blogger since 1998. These days I post regularly at https://werd.io. Writing is my first love, and I'm working on a novel.
I founded two FOSS social platforms (Elgg and Known), worked at a mission-driven investor, worked at Medium, and was Geek in Residence at Edinburgh Festivals. Today I'm CTO at The 19th (19thnews.org), a women-led newsroom that reports on gender, politics and policy.
Hi everyone 🥰 I've had this account for a while but never really used it. Now seems like a good time for an #introduction
🙋🏻♀️Ivana Isadora, from Croatia. You might remember me from the bird site as ivana_isadora - https://twitter.com/i/events/1586404411441569794
💻 I write about tech for a living, and I love it! In my day job, I develop software documentation.
🆓 Big believer in principles of FOSS. I support and promote FOSS culture, communities & contributors whenever possible.
Excited to meet new like-minded folks here!
With the future of Twitter more nebulous than ever, it seems like a good opportunity to take a moment (😏) and look back at my best tweets from the 11 years I've been here. "Best" is, of course, highly subjective. I'm relying on the public opinion and including tweets with at least 5 likes (in no particular order). Maybe this Greatest Hits selection can serve as a summary of my whole Twitter presence for those who haven't met me yet. Wherever I may end up next, I promise to bring this same energy - sometimes fun, perhaps a bit weird, always well-intentioned. I hope you'll stick around. 🥰
Looks like folks are doing #introductions. All righty.
Howdy y’all! I was born hearing-free aka profoundly deaf. I read lips (more lip guessing). I'm a TEDx and professional speaker on DEI with a focus on #accessibility and disability awareness. I’m certified Accessibility Professional and #DigitalMarketer who works with companies to evangelize the creation of an inclusive and accessible culture. Proud Mom of 3. One is an international traveler and one is a rocket scientist in the making
My webinator surfboard found this delightful video documentary (and it's a big project) from Australia, courtesy of @cogdog Big Stories from Small Towns.
Uplifting. Fascinating. For those of us from far, far away, an illuminating view.

(I'd show you a pic of what it looks like but things are kind of slow here.)
Thank you, TEDx for viewing #accessibility as an important topic and for making it an Editor’s Pick. Thank you Shannah Hayley and TEDxPlano for the opportunity! Thanks to Thomas Logan, Makoto Ueki, and Ashley Coffey for making the talk possible
