Matthew SheffieldA sad day for more than 120 #AssociatedPress employees as the organization announced that it is having to close down its newspaper-focused business, which represents only 10% of its revenue and is shrinking. More buyouts are expected.

Mea Culpa. Alt tag discussions on Mastodon have given me a heads up about being less clueless and more inclusive about accessibility. It's a work in progress, but following @A11yAwareness has been really interesting and I'm learning heaps 🙂
