Attending a large tech conference has seemingly renewed my interest in publishing the project charter I put together a few years ago to organize and build an open-source CMS focused on higher ed/government/enterprise-level publishing.

I posted this message in the #WPCampus Slack, and someone shared this helpful tutorial on how to make alt text images look nicer. https://bitsofco.de/styling-broken-images/

FYI: When you put "line-height: 0" on <img>s, and the image doesn't load, the line height applies to the alt text. And then the alt text is all squished and illegible. Otherwise, line height doesn't affect the image itself. So don't put "line-height: 0" on images. :) #a11y

#WPCampus 2023 is 5 weeks away. I have officially scheduled my routine post-conference spa appointment. ♥️

I am nerd-cited to share that @annaecook will be the keynote presenter at #WPCampus 2023 this summer. And will help us put #accessibility in the spotlight for our event.

#WordPress #HigherEducation

I've been so busy lately that I've started "ignoring" my emails on the weekend. It gives my brain a break and allows me to focus more on doing the actual work and resting my introverted mind.

However, emotional energy transference is a thing so I still have to deal with all of those emails and unread Slack messages on Monday morning.

Monday morning Rachel thinks this plan might need some tweaking.

All of my money and gratitude to businesses that provide vacant/occupied notices on bathroom doors. It is an A+++ customer experience that seems to be on the rise. I’ve yet to see an accessible version, though.

Thank goodness for @woodwardjd, FedEx, and my iPad.

TFW you’re on your flight for a work trip and realize you forgot to put your laptop in your backpack.

Really excited to be attending the final Strange Loop conference this September in St. Louis! https://thestrangeloop.com/

I'm hosting the networking lounge from 2-3 pm Eastern over at https://summit.atarim.io/ if anyone wants to hop on and discuss #accessibility or #WordPress in #HigherEd.

I hope everyone is having their perfect date.
