Busy ≠ better. Busy ≠ success. Busy ≠ happiness. Busy = stress.
Using Mac & PC default #fonts in #webdesign means less energy usage and more #sustainability 🌎 fastcompany.com/90605005/the…

Did you know... 🤔 capitalising the first letter of every word in your hashtags means that screen reader users like myself can understand what it actually says. instead of a random noise or having each letter read out individually. #DisabilityTwitter
