This looks so good I'm mad at @kevinpowell.co about it. How are the rest of us meant to compete? Can't you give us a break? If you want to understand/enjoy CSS, I bet this course will get you there.

I've just relaunched CSS Demystified! Rebuilt from the ground up, on my own custom platform, and here to help you start writing CSS with confidence 😊 thecascade.dev/courses/css-...

happy trans day of villainy to all who celebrate

Fuck the Supreme Court.

Over the past 19 years, my team @cloudfour.com have shared over 600 articles and resources with the #WebDesign community, absolutely free. But now, our design practice is in danger without your help. Please read and share: cloudfour.com/thinks/more-... #OpenToWork #UXDesign #UIDesign

It's Trans Day of Visibility today. If you're trans and are raising money for something (I don't care what it is), reply to this thread and I will boost you. If you are a cis person, take a look and find someone to support if you can. Everyone give this a share after.

I've been caught by this before, and I've seen other experienced #CSS devs get stuck on it: * { color: deepPink; } html#high-specificity { color: teal !important; } If we put that ID on the root, and some text in our document, what color will the text be?

You don't get to build B-2 Stealth bombers AND plead poverty.

You code a component for a library, and it has 3 variants depending on size: small, medium, or large. Do you do... 1. <div class="my-component my-component-large">...</div>? 2. <div class="my-component" data-size="large">...</div>? 3. Something else?

I built a visual explainer of the CSS Cascade, the algorithm that determines the "winning value" from a list of competing declarations. It's built on work by @bram.us and @miriam.codes. cascade.arpit.codes I wrote about how it came together on my blog: arpit.blog/notes/2026/0...

Finished another set of these abolition tumblers: no cops, no cages, no borders #fuckice #pottery art.miriamsuzanne.com/product/no-b...

*slamming my head repeatedly into a cinderblock* actually *slamming continues* the cinderblock is just a tool *teeth loose in my mouth* what really matters *i come up half-lidded & walleyed* is how it's used

The irony of buddy saying that trans men havent won medals cos we are inferior when the reality is we arent allowed to compete cos of the false belief our boy juice turns us into the Hulk.

oh hey guys – just tell your chatbot not to write bad code. Put that in a skill or whatever. Bing bang boom, good code incoming. Now you have the day off.

“The athletes who’ll actually be barred are cis women who’ve never heard of the SRY gene.” LOUDER

This was a great podcast!

Harry Potter tattoo regret rate is an order of magnitude higher than regret for Gender Reassignment Surgery and yet no one has been brave enough to suggest we legislate Harry Potter tattoos.

I thought I had found a bug that prevented counter() from working properly, but it was a feature! css-tip.com/counter-gotc... Another CSS gotcha that you'd better know about if you don't want to waste time trying to figure out why your code isn't working. Thanks to @miriam.codes for the insights

Filing one more piece in the “friction is good, actually” bucket

“We let the fool notion take hold that our society is a corporation + everything it does must generate profit for a grp of shareholders, + I think this fool notion needs to be demolished forever; the gov’t is us + it is ours. We own it + the services are the profit it generates for us.”

When your experience of the web has only been visual, it's really easy to say that the underlying code doesn't matter.

Neils can use semantic button elements for toggles in a CSS rendition of Doom. What’s your excuse?

More and more governments agree that my life should be criminal. Haha, fun. Welcome, Iowa. Here's a new batch of mugs: art.miriamsuzanne.com/product/tran...

had a few hours this afternoon,

Almost as if our rights our intertwined

View transitions, anchor positioning, ​@scope, focusgroup, invokers, popovers, container queries, grid, relative colors, style-able selects, and more. The web feels like it’s getting so good at exactly the moment our collective worst practices are getting calcified as the default.

Grid for one column layouts is something I preach all the time frontendmasters.com/blog/super-s...

done trans, am crimes af #pottery trimming from last week

Would you hate a country that dropped a bomb on your child's school? 🤔 Asking for a friend!

Enjoyed the mad css game thing, and still annoyed y'all (the whole industry) refuse to learn grid. It's already a column! 😅 Also place-content:center is a handy little shorthand to learn. [continues mumbling incoherently]

The most scathing critics of Silicon Valley circa 2014 barely scratched the surface of the treachery these companies have shown. Providing your products to criminal regimes planning to use them to violate human rights on a massive scale is a choice!

We don’t talk enough about how morally depraved the tech industry turned out to be. Every single ounce of their self-regarding statements of values was an outright lie.

Name a TV show you feel like no one remembers but you Draw Squad Wait, was the show actually called Secret City? Or did I just watch Draw Squd videos from the library? Was my childhood a lie? Was Indianapolis real? Did I even learn to draw from a Commander Mark?

I wrote about some things I'm struggling with in the technology industry, preceded by an appreciation for folk music.

Imagining a linter that forces you to define every CSS property explicitly. Error: button[type=submit] is missing declarations for azimuth and 600 other properties.

“Anthropic has much more in common with the Department of War than we have differences” is a genuinely stunning statement given current events both at home and abroad

josh barro running around a high school calling trans girls "males." the resource officer has been called but josh is too slippery. he's standing on a toilet in the 9th grade annex bathroom.

HRT is *safer* than puberty blockers, which were the trans community's compromise with the cis. Once both are illegal, there's no need to compromise if you're going to do one or the other.

sorry to sephiroth post but holy shit death to American empire
