Thoroughly loved Priyanca D'Souza's talk on intersectionality 😍 feel like it was a talk I could listen to over and over again! @a11yScotland

Really enjoying @upwithebonnet 's talk - loads of great content, but favourite idea so far is avoiding question "jump scares" - being upfront about what and when potentially challenging topics come up in a round of questions, so people can mentally prepare @a11yScotland

Really enjoyed @abbott567 's talk at @a11yScotland - loved hearing Craig set out some definitions like neudivergant vs neurodiversity, and really skillful explanation of legislation - difficult to make that engaging!

Top moment in @WebDevBev ‘s excellent talk about being an accessibility lead - sometimes you have to call people’s babies ugly. @a11yScotland #a11yscotland

Oh interesting! I have it on my driving license, but it's a motorbike one rather than a car one (don't know if that makes any difference)
Ahhh I was looking for you to tag you! Very glad to have been working on this with you too :)
