When these shitty Dems advance their careers it hurts us. It ALWAYS hurts us. They are not conceding something of no value to cleverly gain room to maneuver, they are sacrificing our equality for their advancement.

Hakeem Jeffries needs to be jobless. Primary his bitchass before his cowardice makes things even worse

One of the key ways you refuse to comply with fascism is by becoming even louder and more fearless in supporting vulnerable people. You SHOW that you are unwilling to throw the "undesirables" under the bus if only for self-preservation because under fascism you will also become undesirable one day.

There's one CSS 'rule' I always come back to – the heart of what I'm calling Poetic CSS: What are we trying to express, and how clearly can we express it? There's no best unit, best layout mode, or best selectors – only the ones that express our goals most clearly. Use the whole language. #CSS

Trans rights are not the rights of a tiny minority, trans rights are everyone’s rights to self-determination, control of our bodies, and a society where opportunity and aesthetics are not restricted by sex assigned at birth You should support and defend trans people because trans people are people

porcelain! maybe i love throwing with it? i'm still working out the exact shape, but the first one's a lamp idea if I can pull it off, then a vase shape that's been on my mind, and a butter bell because why not. #pottery

TEETH! TEETH!! TEETH!!!

I've finally got around to documenting a cute way of building an Image Gallery with flexbox: bfgeek.com/flexbox-imag... This technique maintains image aspect-ratios, and ensures there is no additional free space (full-bleed). Let me know what you think! (@bram.us - I got around to this!)

Violence should not be used against free speech, is the refrain. So explain why they use ICE to violently detain any immigrant for speaking and steal them off the streets in front of their children. The Republican Party has openly embraced violence against speech.

Working on some nerd dice trays for nerd friends who play nerd games with me. Here's two of three, thrown then altered. One is drying ready to be fired, the others still need trimming - which I do using an overturned bucket as a chuck (or chum if yer fancy).

🚀The new CSS sibling-index() and sibling-count() functions let us create staggered animations, dynamic color palettes, and even complex circular layouts with ease. I wrote about my first experiments with these fantastic new CSS additions. So much fun! ♥️ ✨ #CSS utilitybend.com/blog/styling...

The fascists are terrified of me (us) because bodily autonomy is just so fucking cool. It's badass to go out there & change your gender, be proud of it, and tell everyone it's great. You can do it too! Crossing borders: also fucking cool. Their rules are made up, and all they have. Be crimes.

From ‘The Onion’ Editorial Board:

This is a real-life indicator of what fascism looks like.

In the latest Winging It, @miriam.codes & @stacykvernmo.com chat with #CSS expert @kizu.dev about how to create reusable and flexible CSS using mixins & functions, what happened in the CSSWG meetings, and what's coming in CSS! www.oddbird.net/2025/08/27/w... If you like the show, please subscribe!

highly recommend doing this right now

So many FOMO-inducing posts from @smashingconf.com Freiburg. Wish I was there! But I'll be in NY next month, talking about CSS types & validation. I want to change how you see vars now & prepare you for functions. You can also join my workshop on CSS architecture! smashingconf.com/ny-2025/work...

Please stop telling trans people we're overreacting

Hi cis friends - trans folk of all ages could have our health care entirely defunded by this bill. If you can call your reps, it would mean a lot. Contact info in the thread.

No one would be confused about what is happening here if they saw it in another country.

Between the time we launched the original Learn CSS course on web.dev and today, container queries landed in browsers and became Baseline Widely available! It was high time for an update, and we were lucky enough to have the team at OddBird work with us. Enjoy 9 new modules! web.dev/blog/learn-c...

Have you played with `anchor-size()`? It's more flexible then `anchor()` and can be used for sizing and margins in addition to the inset. It's been fun to play around with and make demos like this but I'm curious- what use cases have you found for it?

There are tools for generating responsive type in CSS, but the result is a clamp() function with mysterious numbers. @miriam.codes explores what those numbers do with her visualizer using #CSS gradients. Level up your CSS with more free demos like this in your inbox! www.oddbird.net/oddnews/

TBH I think it's hard to overstate the gap between the assumed guard rails and reality. people think "well it might be wrong on the details sometimes" and the reality is that it is **coaching children to commit suicide** you wouldn't expect that from ANY product! why would that exist!

All the orders have been packed and shipped (not all of them so precarious), and I think by now several have arrived – hopefully intact?! I really appreciate you all. Thank you for making my first pottery "drop" online a huge success. I'm so happy to have people using the things I made.

I just don't use the `border-box` reset. Because at the end of the day, I rarely ever set widths explicitly on anything and without that, the `margin`, `border`, `padding` get subtracted from the available space regardless of `box-sizing`.

Zohran wants universal childcare for everyone in this city and I hear people who NEED this asking 'OK but how will he pay for this?' I'm like 'bitch I haven't heard your ridiculous ass ask ONCE how the city is paying 11 BILLION A YEAR FOR COPS.' NOT ONCE. So damn demagogued.

Please stop inheriting the box-model. The supposed use-case for that is extremely out-dated, inheritance doesn't really help, and it actively makes real box-sizing use-cases more difficult! This #CSS best practice was never the best to begin with: www.oddbird.net/2025/09/04/b...

I'll wind down this week of pots with a few final highlights. Thank you all for supporting my art, it means a lot. I hope you enjoy the pieces! The trans mugs are popular, and I just added two more – "Change your gender" & "support trans kinds" art.miriamsuzanne.com/category/mon... #trans #pottery

Someone needs this one-of-a-kind statement piece – either to stay hydrated while winking at the trend, or as a mantle-top vase. Or a travel vase!? So there's always room for a bouquet of flowers between the front seats of your car… art.miriamsuzanne.com/product/the-... #pottery

The coffee pour-overs are all sold out now, along with the @heydonworks.com monochrome flag mugs. But there's still one "do trans, be crimes" in each size – 8oz & 12oz. Doing trans is the best crimes: art.miriamsuzanne.com/category/mon... (also some queer & bisexual 8oz designs) #trans #pottery

Thanks to everyone who ordered already! I'm really honored. I'm down to just one coffee pour-over if someone wants to claim it: art.miriamsuzanne.com/product/pour... Fits great with my mugs! Support trans people in your morning routine: art.miriamsuzanne.com/category/cup... #pottery #trans

Get you some hand-made functional pottery! Or get it for someone you love? Stay hydrated with an absurd 30oz hand-made faux-stanley, or show your pride in black & white. Hell, there's even some colorful pieces in the mix! Finally online & already a few sales! art.miriamsuzanne.com

Like seriously, what even are web developers anymore. So much of the development process for web devs is spent on complicated DX methodologies. God forbid we spend the same amount of sprint cycles ensuring people can actually use the UI they "engineered"

Going live tomorrow morning with a new website, and a shop for my pottery & prints. I'll send out an update with a coupon code to my 'Mia Culpa' subscribers. If your interested in things I make, sign up. :) #pottery email.miriamsuzanne.com

Criminalization is the fuel of fascism.

Fuck Gavin Newsom.

Every day is like • terror • terror • horror • nightmare • one of my buddies being so so funny or talented • despair • terror • demons

I'm doomscrolling. Here's what I threw this afternoon. Both are commissions, so "here's what I did at work" I guess?

No offense, but things should get better, instead of constantly worse

you cannot be a bigot and useful to society. you cannot be a bigot and smart. you cannot be a bigot and capable. you can only be a net negative to the world.

I'll be Winging It live with @kizu.dev & @stacykvernmo.com in an hour (11am MT) to talk about future #CSS features like mixins, functions, and masonry! youtube.com/live/ER4APBN...

felt sad, so i trimmed some gaiwan lids and glazed a whole set of espresso/sake cups. maybe I should be sad again tomorrow and throw some things. Here's some bowls that came out recently for my brothers:

I went down a rabbit hole trying to understand and visualize how fluid typography calculations work in #CSS. Here's a video and interactive codepen with the results: www.oddbird.net/2025/08/26/t... Adjust the values to see how they impact the rate of change, the viewport-size range, and page zoom!

v proud of this little guy #pottery

Randomness in CSS!! Please try it out and give us some feedback: webkit.org/blog/17285/r... :)

I'll be at @fullframebeer.bsky.social in Denver for a summer market this Sunday, noon-6pm, with mugs & bowls & vases & more. Come say hi! (and maybe take something home - I know at least one of the other vendors is excellent)

OH: Sure, everything's a sandwich, but some things are definitely not chocolate

Big CSS progress today. Scope v1 issues are all resolved: github.com/orgs/w3c/pro... Progress on gamut mapping colors: github.com/orgs/w3c/pro... Masonry will get a unique `display` value from grid. Name TBD: github.com/w3c/csswg-dr...

Sam Altman: I see humans achieving omnipotence using dark matter by… 2030 maybe? That’s if OpenAI is given a quadrillion dollars Theo Von: Yeah Altman: Or, we may become a race of slaves, genetically modified to be harvested by robot spiders. That’s if OpenAI doesn’t get the money Von: Right
