So much fun emailing clients on Presidents Day knowing they all of the day off while you're woking. It's almost as much fun as being the only person I know who has never had Veterans Day off.

in trying to keep bsky as accessible as possible, i alt-text all my images. i encourage you all to as well!

here are my 2 easy alt text tips:

1. in your bsky settings, you can *force* alt text. check it to ensure you dont forget

2. get an OCR extension. it lets you auto-convert text from images 🙏

A11y Tip of the Week: Before making a PDF accessible, ask: does it need to be a PDF? Web pages get you most accessibility features for free. Save PDFs for documents that truly need to be downloaded, printed, or archived.

The US is trapped in a permanent election cycle; it’s not an accident. Binary parties, unlimited money, and nonstop campaigning are exhausting generations of voters and blocking true governance.

This is an important read on how democracy should work.

Apple Mail users — am I the only one bothered by this design? Was it really that difficult to align the labels with the buttons?

It's that time of the year again. Time for jingle bells, holiday cheer, and presents under the tree.
