👧🏻👦🏼 School's out! – July’s roundup from tempertemper
The school summer holidays are upon us! Our kids have been off for just over a week and, as a result of careful routine planning and some tactical days off work, it's going okay. Amidst the disruption, I've still been writing; here's the one I hit 'publish' on: Accessibility represents maturity.

WCAG 2.2 was moved to ‘Proposed Recommendation’ on the 20th of July and a fair amount changed since their last 'Candidate recommendation' in May. As a result, I've updated my two articles that cover version 2.2:
From the archives
I'm currently chipping away at six or seven draft blog posts, and in one I wanted to talk about how HTML can be pretty much accessible by default and it's us that breaks it with convoluted CSS.

Elsewhere on the web
Here are some of the more interesting bits and bobs from around the web that I read during July:
- Creating a dyslexia friendly workplace
- Design is compromise
- There’s no such thing as a “normal” user
- How to Write Good Labels
- Toggles suck!
Anyway, I’ll catch you again at the end of next month, and hopefully the rest of the school break goes as well as this first week has; wish me luck! 😅
