45 minutes on the phone with 3 different people at 2 Rx drug plans (only 1 of which I belong to) and another person at the pharmacy to get them to quit telling me that I have to get a med refilled via mail order from a *3rd* Rx plan that I also don’t belong to. They call this a healthcare “system” 🤯

Science is still happening in the US & you can not only support it by becoming a member of WHOI in June, you can help unlock an additional $1M to continue their research *and* score a cool glow-in-the-dark T-shirt too!

Congress passed the largest cut to SNAP in the program’s history last year, stripping $187 billion from a program that supports 38 million Americans. The House Farm Bill did nothing to reverse it. Now the Senate is writing its own version, and we need it to protect and strengthen SNAP!

You don't necessarily need to say "image of" in your alt text for users to know it's an image. Screen readers will announce that it's an image. But it can help readers to specify if it's a hand-drawn image, Polaroid, infographic, screenshot, chart, map, diagram, or so on.

Screwworms eradicated in the US in 1966. Measles eradicated in the US in 2000. Both are back because of this science denying administration.

Friggin’ Blue Line is on “Oh, you wanted to go somewhere?” schedule 🤬

200,000 Black people fought in the Civil War. That was after decades of courageous Black heroes and the Underground Railroad. We white people didn't "free the slaves." Enslaved people freed themselves. White people fought a war over whether or not to stop them.

I’m in a city zoom meeting about fixing problems with a nearby major intersection & the man talking now is so fucking car-brained that he’s insisting no bike lanes are needed because no one bikes & pedestrians aren’t at risk, despite people being hit by cars, because they probably caused it

It is important to keep this gate closed

Also, if anybody reading this needs a presentation designed, you know where to find me.

The ad agency I used to work for is now using AI-generated images. I wonder how many art directors they laid off so they could save $ by using slop imagery?

I would like to not be awake every damn morning before 5 am 😖 What the hell am I supposed to do with myself at this hour?

I dress for a run. I warm up a little. Before I even get to where I intend to start running, it begins to pour. I trot home, clothes & shoes thoroughly soaked by cold rain. By the time I change out of my wet clothes, the sun comes out. 😖

I just watched video of 5 ICE agents abducting a guy from a courthouse in my area of Massachusetts. Periodic reminder that ICE hasn't gone anywhere. They are still here and still terrorizing immigrants.

Avoid forcing users to memorize information. For example, use field labels instead of placeholder text. Placeholder text disappears when users begin typing. This forces them to memorize placeholder text or delete information so they can see placeholders again.
