Someone’s done an awesome “orchestral remix” of Chrono Trigger’s main theme.

“Cannot publish unborn HEAD” has to be the creepiest way anyone could possibly say “Can’t publish branch with no commits”. The only explanation I have is that Git was written by an interdimensional eldritch horror and Linus Torvalds found it one day and was like “this is cool”

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.

I’m so modern that rather than walking into a room and forgetting why I went there, I open Google and forget what I was looking for.

Accessibility isn’t something you add to your product. It is your product.

I think 90% of my job is trying to convey this. If the button isn’t labeled, if the text cannot be seen, if the action cannot be performed, then it may as well not be there for some subset of people. #accessibility #a11y

Loaves and Fishes

It just occurred to me, if Jesus was a TV evangelist, or a “Christian politician” he would have eaten all the fish and bread and told the people to go home, fix themselves some food and bring him 10% of it tomorrow…

I’m hosting the networking lounge from 2-3 pm Eastern over at https://summit.atarim.io/ if anyone wants to hop on and discuss #accessibility or #WordPress in #HigherEd.

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!

Calista went out in the rain earlier and I dried her off with a towel, and then she went down for a nap. When she woke up she had the messiest curliest bed head I have ever seen on a dog, I am not sure if this picture captures it but the curls are a little bit out of control

I have no problem with Bluesky if it actually does what it sets out to do: federates over multiple nodes, and provides nomadic identity.

But one node and one identity key generator means that’s not happening.

Until they actually decentralize, this is another walled garden.

People with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are all around us—they’re integrated in schools and the workforce. But for many of us, all we know about ASD are the news stories speculating about a diagnosis for a violent mass shooter or a savant with remarkable skills.

We rarely hear directly from people with autism. In today’s The Big Picture, we change that. Read more at #TheBigPicture: https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/autism-spectrum-disorder-adult-life

I wrote a little code snippet to help you inline SVGs in #WordPress this morning and shot off a little blog post about it. It uses the fantastic new HTML Tag Processor in WordPress 6.2. https://aurooba.com/inline-svgs-in-your-wordpress-code-with-this-helper-function/
