#Seattle friends: if you’re looking for a way to support and celebrate our neighbors today, there’s a Juneteenth Freedom Fest on! Consider donating to KCEN, a Black-led org doing great work in the community.

Reminiscing on a moment from > a decade ago where a client wanted me to basically solve responsive web images.

Wish I had the confidence at the time to say “this is a problem the best minds in web standards are hashing out right now and will not be resolved in the scope of this project” 😅

@corduroy I’m 2 but also sprinting to iOS accessibility settings ASAP for myself. That text-on-glass legibility is TOUGH 😩

Tested out my Diamine Amazonia ink sample with a little en plein air drawing! The lighter green is my favorite Ecoline color, Bronze Green. 🌿

I keep deluding myself that I’ll read all the articles I saved in Reader…but today I realized if they have an average read time of 6 min, it would take me 11 hours to get through the current set.

Nope! Whatever isn’t read at EOM is getting bulk archived.

If you gleefully claim your product will cut jobs, you are now contractually obligated to lobby for UBI. Sorry, those are the new rules!

I LOVE this …Chart of Shame on https://webstatus.dev/stats
“Features missing in only one browser” 😍.

Even lets you click on individual data points and see which features each browser is holding the Web back from.

Hopefully it will motivate implementations of these features!

I wish I had been able to read this earlier in my career, so sharing it now! https://substack.com/app-link/post?publication_id=289208&post_id=164048912

Does anyone have a (preferably instrumental) playlist they like to listen to when #journaling? Currently exploring what’s public on Tidal 🎧

Do you think somewhere there’s a group for women named Kate who use Kubernetes? The K8s K8s, if you will.

@beep yay! I thought this sounded familiar, thank ya

@beep have you written a blog post before with your last sentence? I shall like to read it if it exists (or could exist 😇)

“If democracy is built on trust, and trust is built on relationship, then the collapse we’re living through isn’t just political—it’s personal. It’s relational. And it’s happening because we let disconnection become default.”

Connection isn’t just personal. It’s political.

Trying not to melt into a puddle of despair because that’s when these villains win but WOW it’s hard out there friends!!!

Community is the antidote. How folks showed up across the US last weekend (for ex) inspires me to keep pushing in whatever little ways I can.

Inspired once again by Mandy Brown 🤲 https://everythingchanges.us/blog/keep-moving/

Good luck, stay safe, and thank you to all heading out to the US protests today! ✊
