    @glenngillen It was booked out. 😫


    @stringy I only just learned about ATAG last week from @ImSamLevy’s talk at NDC Melbourne! (If you two don’t know each other, you should. I’ve learned more about a11y from your talks than just about anybody in Oz.)


    In today’s example of really bad design: Our hotel room was 819. At a glance, can you tell which direction that is? (We got it wrong.) https://t.co/N7Hug5ZwZW

    @evanderkoogh I used it in my Meetup calendar application, back when it was still working. I didn’t want to hammer the Meetup API too hard, so I used step functions to space out my requests and retry when things failed.


    @mattallen Hahahaha, I’d never thought about it directly, but yeah. 😂


    @Mandy_Kerr @Amys_Kapers Yes, but I lived there for a very long time. (I also understand “chuck a sickie,” “chuck a wobbly,” and “spit the dummy.”)

    The hotel has a rooftop pool. (I really like Singapore. Might have to live here for a bit someday.) https://t.co/Tld4h8rQ3A

    Me at 6pm: joking about our hotel room being on the 13th floor.

    Me at 11pm as the fire alarm starts blaring EVACUATE: “Well, shit.”

    (It stopped as we were running for the stairwell. Could see trucks on Broadway. Front desk says all is well now. 🤷‍♀️) https://t.co/c72H4jqEaQ

    I don’t like having to think about things like whether I’m doomscrolling too much and what the financial and long-term implications of expatriation might be and whether my nieces and nephews will be safe at school and how anyone can support this madness and whether it’s morbid to actually be grateful I’m peri menopausal and whether my company will support me if I say I don’t want to travel to the US anymore and wondering whether that is playing into the hands of the radical religious nutbars and researching how I can support women and LGBTQI Americans who are rightly fearful for their lives, all before I’ve had my damn breakfast. 🤬🤬🤬🤬
