I'm reading a very bad listicle titled "20 habits that prevent you from being a millionaire" just to see how completely detached from reality it is and folks

Cultural solutions are better than technical solutions because they're more robust.

A culture of including image descriptions here is something people can take with them to other social media and other areas of life.

A technical solution, like a pop-up telling you you haven't described your image, might help if you forget on that specific platform but it can't make you care if you don't and it can't make you feel supported if your own access needs make descriptions prohibitively difficult.

wow

ah, the space race

I present you: mosey culture (as opposed to hustle culture)

Our goals are out there and we work toward them, but we take our time.

"Someday I want to achieve my goal, but for now check out this pretty flower I have 🌻 . I'm gonna stop and enjoy it before I mosey on to my next task."

i've tagged out 600+ open source, experimental and tiny tools by their qualities and built a new website for sorting through them!

these are all tools towards joyful digital creation, with the goal of enabling working entirely outside of proprietary systems- moving instead from one hand-made software to another.

(the list takes submissions if it is missing yours >:))

i feel like everyone knows about duck genitals, but in the interest of promoting ongoing learning so we can all better make fun of birds, more people should consider woodpecker tongues

in australia, where rabbits are an invasive species that cause awful damage to the native ecosystem, a lot of people celebrate with easter bilbies instead of easter bunnies! the bilby is native to australia and is pretty cute and has just as much business laying eggs as bunnies if you think about it

and yes, you can get chocolate easter bilbies too!

that's the real tell right there that silicon making a 50 dollar mug that heats up to your specified degree as chosen by app is a boondoggle of the highest fucking degree:

nobody has thought about "ok but what if i want to put it in the dishwasher or microwave"

these are crucial steps that someone may do in the making of beverages to put in the mug, or cleaning the mug for the next use. these are also not really considered in this concept. this is a thing created by clueless men of silicon valley who think that their coffee is made by elves and their dishes are done by magic fairies
