Some of the coolest people on Bluesky are those geeking out about CSS and/or accessibility. Great vibes almost every time.

It's spooky month, and I wanna look at fun spooky month themed art/code. So here is a thread of fun spooky stuff I found this month! Feel free to reply with cool spooky stuff!

This one is so much fun! (And I never want to have to use it)

This is an excellent read! There's some stuff around CSS and color I've missed in recent years while blinders focused on only longstanding work project (doing new/small projects often helps with staying on top of stuff), but @kevinpowell.co did an excellent job breaking a lot of stuff down.

Sometimes I like making pixel art tile sets. This is one of my favorite ones I made a year ago! sfrisk.itch.io/midnight-lil...

Last night’s little guy progress!

Great roundup of some fun codepen demos!

Something my friends and I have started doing is a weekly craft day where everyone brings projects they want to work on, kids optional, and we hang out and get some screen free time hanging out and making cool stuff. I have a hedgehog embroidery piece I'm bringing today, let's see how far I get.

That developer urge to buy a new monitor is hitting my hard right now, despite my valiant attempts to be responsible.

Friend gave me Spirit City: Lofi Sessions for my birthday this year, and I'm finally sitting down to use it while doing website work. Friends, this game is super cute, and I can listen to spooky cozy halloween lofi on it.

If you work in web standards, you RFC 2119 MUST read this article. alice.boxhall.au/articles/a-t...

Pulling in what I did in Codepen last night into my collection of Vue components in Storybook and trying to make it more reusable / responsive. Cue me attempting to to remember super simple trigonometry I haven't had to think about in ... way too long. Now to add a tail!!

Bravely resisting the urge to buy more Star Wars gaming minis when I still have gaming minis I need to paint.

Having fun doing some experiments with speech bubbles for the home page of my website refresh. I am proud of how the balloon tails do adjust to face my avatar in the different screen sizes. Now to make this thing a reusable component and less "Sarah throws CSS at Codepen and sees what sticks"

I should have made it clear that if you feel that you fit in that category, please post a link to your work 😅

These are so cute!

This is the dream right here.

Aaaaaand preordered.

Earthborne Rangers night!

Honestly it’s been a lot of fun drawing again after taking a bit of a break for a few years. I’ll admit it’s weird having a folder of pics now that is basically just a collection of self portraits.

I made cool stuff this weekend!

Tonight I played Dungeons and Dragons! And to keep my hands busy because that helps with focus, I worked on art for my website revamp. Starting to hit the point with this character model it’s becoming easier to redraw in different poses and still look like the same person.

If you want a good video about how to identify clothing quality when you are shopping for clothes, I highly recommend this video/rant: www.youtube.com/watch?v=fuVU...

So one of my 2025 goals was to teach myself how to sew my own clothing, and with three months to spare, I sewed my first top! I am pretty pleased with how it came out!

One thing I'm absolutely loving about this course is the option to either watch the video OR read an article that covers what the video is going over with code and image examples. Sometimes my brain struggles focusing on a video and not a lot of courses always gives you the option to read instead.

Playing around with @penpot.app tokens and component variations tonight. The addition of variants to component update this week is pretty awesome, looking forward to see what's to come.

I'm going to be talking about why we have very little by way of accessibility interoperability data on the web platform in under 30mins!! I'll be exploring what gaps exists in the resources we have now & how ACD plans to address them. You can watch the livestream here: youtube.com/live/idSl4JD...

My main takeaway so far from this @inclusivedesign24.bsky.social talk about BBC app design is that Apple's liquid glass is absolute dogshit when it comes to accessibility 😬

i was born to make websites, fun websites, silly websites, curious websites, websites that bend, delight, amuse and entertain, websites for people on planet earth and there will be no shareholder value, but the websites will be built, and they will be enjoyed

Oh hey this looks super cool. Animation has always been something I’ve wanted to get better at. Definitely putting this at the top of my list of courses to check out.

Excellent example of how something that's compliant isn't necessarily also usable.

I’m in that weird part of website design where I am doing a LOT of self portraits.

Excited to check this out later today!

September has turned into “make all the visual content for website that isn’t specifically design system stuff” month (was originally going to be August, but I needed some non screen time), so cue drawing all the illustrations during my lunch breaks. Here is one for the footer!

Arguably nothing needs to be “saved” by AI (how can a word shuffler save anything?) so we’re glad Craig has underlined that point and many others here. www.craigabbott.co.uk/blog/screen-...

Please add this tiny bit-o-CSS for stable scrollbar gutters to your Reset Stylesheets www.zachleat.com/web/stable-s...

Finally getting to working on the illustrations for my website (it’s a bit bare at the moment). It’s been a while since I drew regularly so you can definitely see where I struggled to remember how to use my tools. 😆

Had a great conversation with @sjoy.lol today. We both toyed around with the web as a hobby starting in the late 90s, before eventually turning it into a career much later on. We talked a lot about that, but then got into accessibility and I just loved how she referred to it as "a heart thing" 😊

This is what’s wrong with the mobile web. - massive “download our app” callout - header taking up a good amount of real estate - ANOTHER DOWNLOAD OUR APP BANNER - fixed ad on the bottom - huge ads in between copy 😠

I know for a fact I own at least a half a dozen drawing gloves Could not for the life of me tell you where any of them are located.

Playing around with the A11y features in Chromatic for my design system I'm building for my website refresh, and honestly, feeling pretty good about these stats. Most issues were just either test data, or I forgot to update a variable when I reworked colors last weekend.

Took a month off from website work to obsessively do some analog work painting minis (really needed some non screen time) but getting back into it this week.

"Don't worry, AI can write accessible code for you!" The code: <div class="accessible-checkbox" aria label="add_description_here"></div>

Sure, I’m excited to go to Pax Unplugged in November. But you know what I am more excited for? Being able to book the next gen Acela to get there. You know, because trains are freaking awesome, and I want more cool ones in the US.

I hosted a birthday party for myself last night where I invited friends over for a day of painting minis (a means of justifying the resin printer I just got myself). Anyway, hope you enjoy this photoshoot I did of my smuggler lady

GUYS you have to see brad's Death to Bullshit site read it, then turn the bullshit on it's safe (yet hilarious)
