The amount of time between starting some cringey activity* and the full cringe overtaking you is so short, and yet, infinite.😅😐😵 *but not harmful

Another day ending in Y, another day I think of those two professional bean tasters whose meetcute was over a kettle of baked beans (iirc Nadiya's Time To Eat s1e1?). 😍😭

I want these birds outside every clothing store changing room. I know I look amazing, eider duck said so.

Can someone please check on my iced coffee? I ordered it forever ago but my cat just keeps standing here meowing at me like I should be the one getting up and making it! Rude!

Turns out I'm a coworker people go to with the weird styling and CSS and keyboard focus and it should be working and it's half past lunch hour bugs. And tbh I love that for me. 🤣😅

This is Henry. He brings his emotional support duck to his hydrotherapy sessions. They get along swimmingly. 13/10

It never ceases to shock me how much -isms shape codebases.

One of the toughest transitions from mid to senior dev was that I know I *can* do a bunch of stuff I probably *shouldn't* do, but there are fewer people to say hey that's a terrible idea.

kind of obsessed with 2025 pride merch...I'm calling it cowardcore.

Show me you love me 🤣

This is what UI design was meant for, and anyone who disagrees is a liar

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.

Duckduckgo turning on AI BS by default too now, huh?

A 1 inch ripped hole in clothing is such an underused ND diagnostic tool (mostly joking)

9. When Newsom platforms Charlie Kirk, he isn’t fostering a “discussion” on transgender people, he is recalibrating his political stance to make targeting transgender people seem palatable, shamefully selling that shift to his base as a strategic necessity off the back of a hate-influencer.

I do not have any pet peeves. They belong in the wild.

I feel like green onions should be labeled, "Pack of N onions with up to 3x free replacements!"

If they try to put me in jail for doing digital accessibility. I'm gonna at least eat one person before I go away. I don't want to be a cannibal but how am I gonna survive in prison if they ask what I'm in for and my answer is "being annoying about semantic HTML"? I got to establish dominance.

Disability:IN appears to be silently renaming the 10+ year old "Disability Equality Index" to "Disability Index." Instincts tell me this is to avoid the "DEI" acronym. It started at least 7 days ago. I collected dozens of screenshots from their socials & website. semanticfish.net/is-disabilit...

A love letter to my favorite branch of the government kirabug.com/wordpress/20... If you know anyone in NOAA, please pass it along to them.

My cat keeps crying and leading me to her treat box. Literally a workplace masterclass on power moves.

Vague plea to other devs: document the paths not taken, however briefly. Intent is hard to recapture. (aka I have no idea why you used this weird workaround, and now neither do you! 😅)

I am making sure to donate to @archive.org because many of the sources I was using for a few projects disappeared due to the removal of federal pages on accessibility. However, the Wayback Machine ensures I can still access the information.

We're made to sit down all through school, and now that we're adults with hurting backs they're like just stand up what do you mean you think better sitting down? 🥴

If you are a member of an underrepresented group in data science, consider applying for a scholarship to attend this year's posit::conf() in Atlanta!

I think I strongly adhere to the Swiss cheese model of programming. If I want one sandwich, my solo slice of experience and knowledge, with all its holes, is fine! If I'm making sandwiches for everybody, we're going to need more cheese! All this to say collaboration is imperative 😅

Based on what I know of Ashlee, the water will be warm and the fish will be welcoming. #a11y interested folks, let's do this!

Them: ai can do it all! Me: Shut off and never attempt to interact with me again. Them: o not that lol uwu

When my cat sits on my lap I feel so centered and calm...and also now I remember every single thing I ever needed to get up and do.

Oh the pain of waiting for anyone to say some weirdly specific thing so you can respond with some weirdly specific pun 😭

I think one of the reasons so many people like the show The Good Place is because it unequivocally acknowledged that really, honestly, we tried.

Remember that one time you built a whole custom solution, because there was one tiny detail you couldn't tweak?
