Hi folks!

I'm looking for work in digital #accessibility, #UserResearch or DEI consultancy! Based in Sheffield, remote preferred but willing to discuss hybrid https://linkedin.com/in/kitation/

I’m looking for a role that’s people oriented so things like training, talks, workshops; anything where I get to chat to folks about making software more inclusive and accessible. I am also an experienced accessibility tester but don't want that to be the main focus.

In the short term, I am available for doing one off training sessions or talks on accessibility, inclusion and designing for LGBTQ+ folks (see https://kitation.co.uk/talks/ for the kinds of things I like to talk about, happy to create something custom for you)

Best way to contact me is via LinkedIn or DM. Boosts appreciated! #getFediHired

There it is: #ARD, the biggest public broadcaster in the world, opened its own instance for #Mastodon today – https://ard.social
Its flagship news programme gets the first account: @tagesschau.

On #Twitter the #Tagesschau has 4 million Followers, I am curious, how much it gets here and how fast. Could give us a hint on how active the german community on #Mastodon still is. The inoffical @[email protected] had amassed 53k Followers, the other public broadcaster @ZDF 13k in three weeks.

I went on a quest to find out if AI is already secretly writing a lot of the stuff we read online. I found more than I ever imagined.

From online recipes to mattress reviews to celebrity horoscopes, human writing is fast becoming the exception on the internet, rather than the rule.
