Excellent accessibility tip on using hashtags to make sure they make sense for people using screen readers. https://twitter.com/ThatBlindLad/status/1366051156372447239

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.
