#9 Inclusive design, problematic social media facts

Dear Friends,

This week’s email reaches you later than usual. On Friday, my blog was offline most of the day while my husband moved it to a self-hosted domain. We sweated over some technical issues, or was it because of the 34°C temperature in Cambridge? You might wonder why this is important. My website is my online home and, while I take a break from social media, I want it tidy and working for when you’ll visit. I’m keeping a diary to record the progress of the break and will share it as soon as it feels complete. A preview: it’s not easy. 

I took a picture and published it on my site instead of Instagram. I miss the time when, before social media, our thoughts weren’t scattered on various platforms. 

On this week’s digest, I gathered a few interesting resources about inclusive design, accessibility and problematic facts about social media. See where I’m going? At the end of the digest – thank you for reading – you’ll find something different than usual. It’s a music video that links the nuclear attack on Hiroshima to a touching personal story.
