Okay, apparently #bookstodon is a real hashtag. So I’m putting it out there to find fellow readers. I’ve read 80 books since the start of the year. (Today is April 14th.) And I’m ALL OVER the place. 800 page books about the Fed. Massive Jack Vance epics. Translated fiction. Half of Ali Smith’s output. Come at me, my fellow hardcore reading weirdos! 🤣

HEAR YE, hear ye! I hereby decree that mornings (or other worst parts of the day on an individual basis) will be deleted from life forthwith and will no longer be allowed to terrorise otherwise innocent people. These aforementioned nasty pieces of day will be launched into outer space along with any other objectionable political figures, celebrities etc and will be directly aimed at the sun to provide maximal incineration of aforesaid nastiness.

A lot of accessibility issues can be caught and avoided in the early design stages of a project.
In case you missed it: I put together a big list of resources to help designers get started with designing more accessible products and sites. I’m saying designers, but, yeah developers, this might help you too!

The opposite of “return to office” advocates isn’t “work from home” advocates. It’s a rich tapestry of “open offices are distracting” people and “I’ve never gone this long without being sick” people and “commutes are a waste of time I don’t get paid for” people and “I’m an introvert and playing house with coworkers sucks the life out of me” people and “I have a family and appreciate the flexibility” people and “I primarily communicated with coworkers through Slack anyway” people and “no one wa…

I’ve dropped a note to #NPR via https://help.npr.org/contact/s/contact?request=Other encouraging them to launch their own instance of #Mastodon (since they now are off #Twitter and could benefit from moving all their accounts here).

I encourage everyone here to do the same and boost this so we can show them there’s an audience for their accounts here.

We really need your help Mastodon. They moved up my kidney transplant because my kidney is so bad I may not make it until next month. My best friend needs food in the house and I need to have proper furniture to make me comfortable so I can heal. This is urgent. Throne only lets me add 2 gift cards at a time, so we’re doing Amazon first for furniture. PLEASE SHARE!!
