Black roof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings.”

@voltagex @caseyjohnellis @CrikeyCon @goggan @dooktwit I don’t know. Magnets could be an option, but I wouldn’t want to do that for all comers because 🧲 + pacemaker = 💀

I think I saw some magnet backs that could be used with the press, so I may get some just for people with manual dexterity issues.

@xnite @caseyjohnellis @CrikeyCon @goggan @dooktwit It’s one of the alternative pronoun choices that non-binary people sometimes use.

@ilwombato @caseyjohnellis @CrikeyCon @goggan @dooktwit That’s the “visually impaired” accessibility pin.

@caseyjohnellis @CrikeyCon @goggan @dooktwit I did have printouts for mobility impairments but I left them at home by accident.

I brought my badge maker so I could make up badges on the spot. The badge maker itself was cheap (~$100 AUD), and the badges turn out to be really cheap to make.

@caseyjohnellis @CrikeyCon @goggan @dooktwit For those asking:

Pronoun pins covered the usual options, plus I included blank templates so people could customise their pronouns.

No photographs was simply a slash through a camera.

The other two were to notify of visual and hearing related impairments.

OMFG Stutter Rap in another 3 songs 🤣🤣🤣

My “Smart” TV just decided to play me this, so now I’m inflicting it on the rest of you

Ok, this is the weirdest mix I’ve ever heard. Nobody who actually lived through the 80s and 90s would ever pack all these songs together.

@rantyben They grant the wearer the Power of Greyskull so they can battle the virus to the death with a mighty, flaming sword.

@Madeline_Pine I use whatever’s appropriate for context, and that depends on which style manual is in use.

[Kristine 💙💜💖🌈 @SpliceFixer]

@Madeline_Pine It took me a long time to work out that intensifiers don’t actually intensify (most of the time).
Red pen to the rescue! 🖍

@Madeline_Pine @abooknut Unicode has a lot of characters, including entire alphabets. There are websites dedicated to this that specialise in copy/pasta for pretty Twitting. However, the text isn’t very friendly to screen readers.

@dal_geek Those misplaced apostrophes are sublime.

[Kristine 💙💜💖🌈 @SpliceFixer]

My fate is to slowly be driven mad, one misplaced apostrophe at a time.

[Kristine 💙💜💖🌈 @SpliceFixer]

@petrajane I dunno about everybody else, but I learned it at school.

[Kristine 💙💜💖🌈 @SpliceFixer]

This is a universal constant.

Social experiment time.

Walk up to the nearest Aussie, no matter where you are in the world and ask them:

'Am I ever gonna see your face again?'

I already know what they're going to say back. I reckon just about every Aussie reading this will as well.
