Oh, I wrote down this post this morning and meant to post it, but never did: last night I dreamed that the company where I work put me in charge of our next business-critical project: shipping flumps to every single contractor, employee, customer, and prospect. Apparently, according to the slideshow presentation in my dream, flumps are the perfect analogy for digital accessibility: they're long, floppy, and multi-coloured. In the dream, this made perfect sense.

@fastfinge To me, flumps are little creatures from a BBC animated series from the 70s and 80s. A flump looked like a furry globe of a body with a face, and arms and legs sticking out of it, and they each wore a different hat. Grandfather flump played the flumpet and the youngest in the family was named Pootle. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Flumps

@amyisard Haha I've never heard of that show! I'm only familiar with the sweets: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flumps_(sweet)
