I’m decluttering. If it’s not tied down, it’s not safe. My family of hoarders may hate me.
I’ve connected with quite a few US #academics on here. Looking forward to sharing experiences across the pond!
Need to find more academics on here. Any recommendations? #LTHEChat #AcademicChatter #academicmastodons

ACCESSIBILITY TIP: Adding emojis to your display name is terrible for people who use screen readers.

I was just reminded by someone that when you do this (as I had done), then they have to listen to the screen reader read out all the emojis/icons BEFORE getting to your actual post.

So my name came across as:

Thank you to the person who reminded me of this!
