It still amazes me when in 2022, I hear people say things like, "oh, it's not a government website, so we don't need to worry about accessibility" - This could not be further from the truth.

As a member of Gen X, this post and thread really resonate with me - it's as if @girdley can read my mind!

Generation X is weird.

These 42-57 year-olds are so strange it presents golden opportunities.

Here are 10 mind hacks to use with Gen X:

@rosemary @WAHealth I agree, I didn’t say it was wise only that it’s the reasoning. I guess the effort required isn’t worth it at the moment, they’re more focused on contacting people directly if they checked in at an exposure site 🤷🏻‍♂️

@ashulz @mattdidcoe @rosemary @awia @lachlanhardy @feather @themaninblue @milesb Those were the days, seems like a lifetime ago!

@stringy @rosemary @the_patima @Amys_Kapers She’s in Glenfield, just north of the main town up Chapman Rd

@rosemary @stringy @the_patima @Amys_Kapers My mum is in Geraldton and between a dust storm, a bushfire and strong winds, it’s a bit crazy. Not much rain though. Just wet, windy and powerless where I am 😕

@TimOliverAU That makes sense. Pretty much anything would seem amazing after having had this phone so long! 😂

[Alex Graham-Wright 🏳️‍🌈 @AlxTheRed]

@ashulz They clearly haven't learned anything from the Census debacle 🙄

@T20WorldCup Any news on when purchased tickets will be ready to download for the women's games? Hasn't been working for the last month or so and getting no response from customer service... Only 2 weeks to go!

Brilliantly said and true across the board ... I dont think I stopped nodding through the whole thread. All leaders in advertising should read it 👏

[Séverine Bavon severinebv.bluesky.social @severinebv]

Is this another thread from someone leaving agencies?

OH YES IT IS.

Just to keep things interesting, I've challenged myself to walk 2020km in 2020, and part of that is walking the equivalent distance of Lands End to John O Groats in the UK (1744.2km). I kicked things off with a gentle 2.5km tonight, here's a virtual postcard from my start point.

A great idea launched today by the man that invented the web, in the hope of saving of the web. I wonder how much traction it will gain with governments, and how seriously the Big Four (Amazon, Apple, Facebook & Google) will take it? https://t.co/66ghYdGySV

My own experience confirms this to be true. Be kind to yourselves, people. Your health and wellbeing are always the most important tasks on your to-do list.

[Alex 🌚 @alexmuench]

Signs you need a break:
* loosing interesting in things you’re usually passionate about and bring you joy
* short temper and easy to provoke
* taking everything personally
* constant overthinking
* emotionally overwhelmed
* always exhausted/tired

Take care friends. Take a break.

@raena @arwon Awesome, and thank you... I’m going to bookmark that as I’ll be in NZ at the end of the month. Love the layering advice! 😊

[Alex Graham-Wright 🏳️‍🌈 @AlxTheRed]

@raena @arwon I would love 8.5 degrees right now. Over the humidity in Perth and it’s only just October. What weather app is that screenshot from?
