One thing I miss about web designs from 25 years ago is the columns... in the mobile era, columns went extinct.

@andycarolan yep, like a surprise hypodermic needle wrapped up in a bundle of fishnet would still get through a glove.

Sticker update time! Got a few new ones in there.

Going to purposefully not at Alt text to see what on Earth the altbot makes of it, assuming it's still running...

I would quite like a little 'ooh' sound to play on hover (you will be able to see why!) - but I gather this isn't simply doable without getting the user to click somewhere first?

Has anyone got a good example I can look at? […]

A screenshot of a particular combination of animal allsorts, the following description shows underneath: drool A dromedary head, looking at us with knowing half-closed eyes. The body of a rooster. It is a deep rusty red, with petrol-blue tail feathers showing behind it. The bottom end of a seal, standing up on its tail flippers.

@hryggrbyr lol you're welcome!

I'm a bit lazy and couldn't be bothered to add proper navigation, is all. Arguably I should have had a leading zero, but whatever 😅

I do need to apologise that a lot of these things will end up visual-only, and therefore inaccessible.

The promos are based on Inktober I think, a drawing challenge.

I would love to have the time to make the whole thing work for everyone. Given my rhetoric online, I feel very... Lacking.

@bencurthoys lawl. My 7 year old is currently in the habit of saying 'Fart' softly and then ever louder until I notice 😆

@bencurthoys I think people will use 'lewd' here in their CWs to mean that - so I've changed the text :)

But really as far as I know, it means rude in a sexual way but not necessarily erotic. A bit like 'bawdy': https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/lewd
lewd
1. (of behaviour, speech, dress, etc.) sexual in an obvious and rude way: 2…

Meta meta shower thought:

It feels big and clever to use the word "meta" but "shower shower thought thought" would have been funnier

Meta shower thought:

Do we have shower thoughts because that's the only time we're not able to keep ourselves distracted with other stuff?

After a nice punchy webinar from Axess Labs I'm like, hm, my company's app is US only, but I'm in Germany, I should know who our "competent authority" is, to which under the EAA accessibility issues should be reported.

Best I can find is this, effectively saying "yeah, so we're setting it up […]
