Started a new profile for my crafts and sketchbook stuff! Mostly so I can hang out in those communities without inundating them with web stuff 😜

#Seattle friends: if you're looking for a way to support and celebrate our neighbors today, there's a Juneteenth Freedom Fest on! Consider donating to KCEN, a Black-led org doing great work in the community.

Apple’s ‘liquid glass’ contrast hilarity is now a bullet on my post “I Don’t Care What Google or Apple or Whoever Did” adrianroselli.com/2020/03/i-do... Please please PLEASE do not copy Aero, er, Glass in your Figmas. #accessibility #a11y #UX

Reminiscing on a moment from > a decade ago where a client wanted me to basically solve responsive web images. Wish I had the confidence at the time to say "this is a problem the best minds in web standards are hashing out right now and will not be resolved in the scope of this project" 😅

To the extent you feel people can still be reached with ideas, we wrote the pro-immigration, pre free movement case in a handy comic book form, available free at your local library: openlibrary.org/books/OL2824...

I keep deluding myself that I’ll read all the articles I saved in Reader…but today I realized if they have an average read time of 6 min, it would take me 11 hours to get through the current set.
 Nope! Whatever isn’t read at EOM is getting bulk archived.

If you gleefully claim your product will cut jobs, you are now contractually obligated to lobby for UBI. Sorry, those are the new rules!

i was born to make websites, fun websites, silly websites, curious websites, websites that bend, delight, amuse and entertain, websites for people on planet earth and there will be no shareholder value, but the websites will be built, and they will be enjoyed

Trying not to melt into a puddle of despair because that's when these villains win but WOW it's hard out there friends!!! Community is the antidote. How folks showed up across the US last weekend (for ex) inspires me to keep pushing in whatever little ways I can.

Taxing buses and e-bikes to fund highway expansion projects is madness. And yet, that's what is being proposed. If you expect better from the Washington State senate, fill out TCC's action alert right now ⬇️

Speaking of fake customer endorsements… At some point the entire tech industry decided “ask forgiveness, not permission” on customer logos for startup sites Marketers are heavily pressured to include them even if it’s just one free user at an org Be skeptical AF of those logo bars, friends!
