Dynamic type certainly works for me (on a 13 Max Pro).

I do like the new accessibility reader, but I’ve found it very buggy and prone to crashing, still it has potential and for me being able to set colours and spacing not just size will be a game changer.

Isn’t “Hobbits can’t camp” the theme of the first book?

As Butterbur says, “[they] do need looking after, and no mistake!”

Dynamic text works with the BBC News app on my iPhone (in the UK). The articles in it also work with the new Accessibility reader, but the page that lists articles doesn’t.

The Ice Adventure is well named. If you’re on the fence, so give it a try.

An ebike very like that was my first mobility aid. It was the first bike I’d ridden pain free since childhood. It changed my life. It was also 250W and limited to 15.5mph as required to be an ebike in the UK. It was far nimbler than my current recumbent trike and didn’t scream “disabled”.

I liked it - apart from lacking mature students (odd omission as a higher proportion are disabled).

But “I need stuff and you need stuff” implies an equality of access to “the right stuff” and glosses over the difficulties getting that which are access barriers in and of themselves.

The NHS just did a big independent review that concluded that ADHD is still significantly under diagnosed and under supported.

But that's not the answer he wanted.

So he's ordering a new conclusion.

An independent taskforce *just* did a huge review of ADHD in England, and the conclusion was that it's "under-recognised, under-diagnosed and under-treated."

There was a time when as a union member one wouldn’t cross a picket of any union.

But I think we trained the next gen badly, for many their first experience of being in a union is the Student Union, and IME those don’t seem to care about pickets at universities or worse encourage crossing them.
