Just deleted my Substack account. @gregpak.net is right—we should bring back some kind of 1990s-style blogosphere. Hosting our own sites, whenever possible or feasible, or using free + open-source platforms like @wordpress.org is probably ideal in today’s data/media landscape.

Hey I just wanna stress something that is always true but in this presidency and political climate is double triple quadruple true: no matter your industry, never ever ever trust HR. Confide in them nothing. You’re not disabled, you’re not trans, whatever. They are beholden to their bosses. Not you.

A friend messaged me today asking if I could come over and play with her kiddo because she was having a rough day, so I’ve spent the day being a human jungle gym for a 3 year old.

Did you know that you should end your alt text with a period? "End alt text with a period, even if it isn’t a full sentence. The period ensures that the screen reader pauses after reading the alt text." This was a new tip for me. Glad to learn something new! www.nngroup.com/articles/wri...

I spent the day at my friend’s place, working on a commission while she finished up her last day of work for the year, but as soon as I sat down at home Digby had to reclaim his spot on my lap.

How to filter out AI Images in Google Image Search. Sharing this with my students so I figured I'd also share it with everyone here. Hopefully this image is still relevant given Google's changes. Save this on your computer or phone and refer to it as needed.

Went to the library to print off an embroidery design I want to make for myself, only to realise when I got home that the details I’ve drawn are too fine to be practical at the size I printed 😅 gotta enlarge it to A3.

I love hats! 🤠 I stitched this one for my good friend Big John Willie (BJW). It is hand embroidered onto black boiled felt. I studied as a milliner in a previous existence. I wove the band on an inkleloom using perle cottons. There are 5 elements included: The Sun, Earth, Water, Fire & Magic.
