My book, Accessibility For Everyone, is now free and online as a website.
accessibilityforeveryone.site
The book was first published by A Book Apart in 2017 but it holds up! It covers web accessibility for designers, developers, content folks, and really everyone who works in tech.

Just spotted a Natterjack Toad 🐸 (I think? It's my first sighting)
Every time I go outside there is interesting wildlife to be found! 😊

This is like when you're a kid and you spend three months very explicitly telling your dad what toy you want, and then he shows up Christmas morning with an ashtray he clearly just bought at the gas station.
