Guidance from #NABJ (the National Association of Black Journalists) on covering footage of #TyreNichols' murder:

Terrible at #introductions

I’m into #edTech #accessibility and #learningDesign. I’m also a #communityBuilder and #facilitator at a #neurodiversity affirming practice in Canada.

I #boost from all over the #fediverse and I’m looking for smaller instances and real people. If I’ve followed you it’s because I want to see more.

Why, hello there! I guess I'd better do the intro thing too.

I'm Kath Kirk, and I run Gecko Edit. Basically, my job is to help make the #Words gooder. I toot about #Editing, #ConsciousLanguage, the #Craft of #Writing, #Editing #Conferences, #MSWord #Hacks, and whatever other stuff caught my #Focus that day. I'm #Neurodivergent and #Queer and I live on a volcano in the Andes.
