I finally installed Stylus because the default UI of Mastodon is a low-contrast homoglyph mess.

My styles, if you wanna copy:
“`
@-moz-document domain(“[your instance domain]”) {
html {
scrollbar-color: rgba(255,255,255,.5) rgba(0,0,0,.1);
}
body.system-font {
font-family: Cabin;
}
.status__content, .compose-form .autosuggest-textarea__textarea {
font-size: 1rem;
}
}
“`

Oh goody! We're gonna collectively speedrun the age verification curve! Spoiler alert: working age verification that does what it's intended to do is very difficult and we already spent 10+ years figuring this out but the idiots in Congress just have to engage in performative bullshit because voters demand performative bullshit. https://www.pcmag.com/news/senate-bill-would-require-social-media-age-verification-for-everyone

My wife’s coworker (who teaches several computer science classes at the HS) found out I’m a software engineer, and asked her “What’s she do? Full stack, front end?”

She texted to ask and I promptly and without thinking responded “Front end in the streets, full stack in the sheets”.

I’m proud of that, as nonsensical as it was, because apparently it made him snort coffee.

Twitter is dying, but my advocacy work helping trans people raise money via fundraisers depends on my five years of work I’ve spent writing on Twitter, so I need help.

If you’re a trans person who needs help raising money for any reason, reply to this toot with your fundraiser. I’ll reach out.

If you’re a cis person and you can, please boost this post so your trans followers can see it.

Hey there folks! I get to make a really, really, really big announcement today. I can finally, fianlly announce that, for the past 2 years, I have been working on total blind accessibility for Forza Motorsport. Here’s the audio described version of a video we made detailing these systems and how they work together to make Forza totally blind accessible. https://youtu.be/SwWn1EZTSSY

If you have a little bit of extra money and want to do a good deed today, consider donating a few dollars towards my friend/roomie’s GoFundMe. She’s had a run of bad luck and needs help to avoid more crushing debt! Any little bit helps. She’s a good person and deserves a break. And I know she will pay it forward when she’s back on her feet, she is always volunteering for community service! https://gofund.me/6ea4ed3b
If you can’t donate, boosting is also a big help!
