Today on the International Transgender Day of Visibility I celebrate all trans people and wish that they could all just exist, live and love as themselves.
Trans rights are human rights.

Have to say I'm not terribly surprised.
Modern conveniences meant housewives didn't have to work quite so hard any more. Did they work less? No, they joined the workforce.
Emails and computing made paperwork much faster. Could administrators work less? No! But now everything was happening faster!
Yes! The goodinternetmagazine.com is out!
You want this. Order yourself a digital or physical copy.

In the State of JS survey when I answered I was a woman, I was asked to share this link to invite more women:

I nearly didn't do it, the JS ecosystem drives me nuts, but if I don't contribute, it will continue to drive me nuts and I'll remain unrepresented...
I came up with the term Inclusive Front to mean the band of people who care about the web's inclusivity.
It's a play on words; we largely work on the front end, but I feel at times we're also like a political 'popular front' against a poorly built web that excludes people.
I've had stickers made!
Yessssss: the-web-you-want.org
All these people working on the web who I hold in such high regard are hurting. Slop really isn't good for morale.
Personal website thread!
Whether they're serious portfolios, random text and file dumps, minimalist blogs, photo galleries, whimsical stuff, whatever --
Let's see them!
All of that is also why I think universal basic income needs to become a thing.
No one is a scrounger because everyone gets it. Everyone gets at least some level of sustenance.
No one should have to find and do work just to survive, if there's no work needing to be done.
Fought my way through to level 35 and for now I'm like, nope!

"But I like programming. I like writing. I like making things and then being able to sit back and look at them and think, holy fuck, I made that. There is no joy for me in typing a vague description into a computer and refreshing my way through a parade of Whatever until something is good enough."
About 200,000 signatures came in, in the last 24 hours - if that happens again, we're through!
Thank you for sharing, let's hope we reach another 200k today 🙏
I've set up a CSS webring!
Who else takes joy in messing with styles, and would like to join us?
