Sock dragon checking on his hoard. Rawr.

How cool is this ?!?

Printed.
Also: those are some fantastic manicules.
Beautiful.
"AI" skills are basically just documentation and it says something about how documentation only gets resources and respect if it is framed as "technology". Which has gender bias all over it.

Parents, pls tell your autistic kids they are autistic: "You may think that an autistic child won’t notice they are different than their non-autistic peers; I have not met one autistic person (me included) who hasn’t noticed their difference early in life."

Facebook post from Matt Devitt Weather showing Florida weather map
Alexandra Bennett. 1d Why does Naples never exist I'm getting beyond angry about it Reply 11 B -1d Matt Devitt Weather Alexandra Bennett It's nothing personal, it's for legal reasons. I have a non-compete until January of 2027. Which means I can't put any Southwest Florida cities on a map. North Port is the closest I can get. After the non-compete is over, I can put Naples on all the maps I want.
Today in odd weatherman legal wranglings:
After a Florida meteorologist was fired from WINK Fort Myers, his non-compete clause prevented him from reporting on weather in the Southwest Florida market. He's got his own page with 1.2M followers now... but legally can't label any city in SW Florida
Thank you for sharing!
I wish they taught this in the Dutch classes & study books.
"My woman" always felt regressive. Understanding this etymology contextualizes & helps tremendously.

Infographic titled "AI Isn't a Ticket To an A," explaining how chatbots work, what the data show about the prevalence of these technologies and how they're used, what we know about the quality of their output, and what we know about the impact that frequent use of these technologies has on their users and on content creators, low-wage workers, and the environment.
For their first project, my Kids and Society students have to create an infographic clarifying a common misconception about "kids these days." I'd prefer that they not use AI to create their projects, so I made my own infographic explaining why : )
Looks delicious.
👏👏👏
Yay weekend focaccia!
When I do my bread days, it's a fun rhythm of every couple of hours do something. Really relaxing rhythm.
Then: sandwich bread for a few weeks too!
Same here!
How I try to install most apps these days.
Love the PWA bits.
A real autistic community makes room for the autistic people who cannot produce.
Cannot mask.
Cannot perform.
Cannot keep up.
Because dignity and voice shouldn’t need to be earned through productivity.
And belonging shouldn’t depend on passing as yet a new “autistic normal”.
Suddenly we begin to hear
“They’re not trying.”
“They’re using autism as an excuse.”
“They’re making us look bad.”
“They’re the reason people think autistics are difficult.”
This is lateral ableism.
It’s ableism moving sideways inside our own community.
Stories like Dominick’s are why it’s harmful to outright vilify use of platforms.
They’re overwhelmingly inaccessible for disabled people, overwhelmingly not responsive to feedback.
What to do instead? Come together and pressure good platforms to fix accessibility. Often, it’s 101 level problems.
trying out https://aether.meadow.cafe/ and really love the vibe! i am slowly being enchanted by the small web and meadow's stuff has a lot to do with it! they also have a guestbook website that is delightfully old web: https://guestbooks.meadow.cafe/
I got a tattoo a few months after asking @monteiro.bsky.social if I should get one.
Today: Got my second.
You should subscribe to his newsletter and see what decisions he can help YOU justify.
This is another good point that bears repeating; go read the Agile Manifesto and behold the absolute lack of problem framing.
The developers wait for "customers" to give them "requirements" that can change unpredictably, without wondering why customer needs (which are usually STABLE) change.
As an aside, this mindset is often described as "lean" because you skip the "waste" of low fidelity work.
Buddy, no. Low fidelity is not the waste. Work in low fidelity is what prevents the high detail work from being waste. Lean is when cheap-as-free sketches are all you need to avoid that waste.
One of the most delightful human experiences is going down a research rabbit hole that you had no idea you were starting. Today I had a question about trees. Now I'm reading about the Devonian Period, 400 million years ago, learning about what happened when the first trees and plants evolved.
They did .
A gnome?
This is your reminder that women exist in tech the rest of the year, not just in March. Same for queer, BIPoC, disabled people and every other marginalized group.
Stop inviting us just as a diversity token during the "month of" for your nice PR campaigns! And stop expecting free labor.
Thanks.
Perhaps the earliest use of a form of USian was a white guy in the 1800s, who was "of the United States" trying to be specific with language. He spelled it Usonian, which is clunkier than USian. As a USian, idk why tf anyone would care about a short specific term referring to us.
Post some baked goods.
(Highlights from the past two weeks. Fuck ICE.)
It me.
