Brain: don’t buy those notebooks. You already have enough to last until 2037.

Me: can I just look?

Brain: ok. Just look.

Me: oooooooh... I’ve never seen one like that before!!

Brain: stop.

Me: wow… dots AND lines. That’s a must have.

Brain: that’s it. We’re out.

Me: ok ok. No notebooks. I get it.

Brain: much better. 2037 wasn’t a joke.

Me: I know, I know.

Also me: So.... what about these pens over here?
Brain: you have a problem.

Me: you’re stifling my creativity.

Brain: you don’t need new notebooks and pens to be creative.

Me: I know this.

/time passes

Me: can I ask a question?

Brain: i will regret this. Yes?

Me: sketch paper is different than notebooks right?
Brain: why on earth do you need sketch paper?

Me: the texture. So satisfying under a pencil!

Brain: what do you need it for?

Me: uh... for all the... um... sketching I do?
Brain: when was the last bit of sketching you did?

Me: I can’t remember because I DON’T HAVE THE PROPER PAPER AND PENCILS.

Brain: you need to stop with this behaviour.

Me: and you need to stop mocking me!
Me: I think we need some time apart.

Brain: good idea. I think that might be the only way we both get what we want
*gets back to hotel room*

Brain: hey! How’d these pens get in here?!

Me: what?! Nothing... I’m...

Brain: seriously? We talked about this.

Me: THEY WERE HALF PRICE!!

I remember two moments very early on in my teaching career that led me to REALLY understand the importance of keyboard accessibility. They turned out to be pivotal moments that made web accessibility feel completely natural to me.
The first? In 1995 I bought my own computer, and noticed that there were really tiny screws on the back that I could remove. When it was time to get online, I bought my own modem (US Robotics 14.4 fax internal model) and endeavoured to install it myself.
I went for it but messed it up. I installed the modem on the right COM port but with the same IRQ as my mouse. I didn’t know any better //shrug

OK, I get it. You created a search results page using the latest single page app hotness. But here's the deal. When I click on one of the items to see its details and then go back to the search results page, here's what I expect:
1. You need to remember the change that I made to the "number of items per page" dropdown. If you don't, I was on page 1 of 2, and now I'm on page who knows what of who knows how many.
2. You need to remember the filters I had applied. Because I explicitly said I wanted French door refrigerators only, and now you're showing me mini-fridges and fridge only and side by side models and now I'm angry at you because I HATE our current side by side with a passion.

As an example - Guideline B.2.3: Assist authors with managing alternative content for non-text content.

If your tool allows people to set a text equivalent for an image or some other type of content, then you should allow them to edit it.

I've been bitching about this ice. I'm going to expand on that a little.
This is my 72nd winter on Earth. I have spent 69 of them within a hundred miles of this spot. This ice is a never-before event.
2. It's kind of amusing people who say, "The weather has never done this before! The climate couldn't be changing!"

🙃
3. The first ice storm, of the modern kind, that I ever remember was in 1974. I was 27 at the time, so I didn't have a real long stretch that I remembered, but...
My parents had never seen one like it before, and they were born in 1913 and 1915. In Iowa
A new thing under the sun.

some ppl think this is weird, but for a little while over the summer i worked as an exorcist, yup. pretty cool right? i even had a partner who was a witch. not one of those dorky ones that buys the wica books at B&N, but a 5th Stregheria witch. Stregheria is very old italian
witchcraft, also known as La Vecchia Religione, The Old Religion. She was a pretty cool chick that specialized in candle magic. i think she had the hots for me lol, but thats a story for another time.
but, i would presume that when i said exorcist you had visions of linda
blaire or some other shitty exorcist movie out there. ive never seen one that dramatic before, but its not that crazy. Demons possession is actually quite easy to understand if you look at demons from a different perspective then how they are typically portrayed.
think of it

Ok, I will.
A One Piece Readthrough Thread
So, my history with One Piece is that I’ve been a dedicated dub watcher since college. One Piece is the one shonen show I’ve never bounced from; its been with me through finals, freelance, job hunts, marriage, and parenthood. It’s my preferred “on in the background” anime.

Down at Ballots+Brew Event at Full Circle Brewery! Former City Hall Staff Georgeanne White, Fresno Bee editor and KVPR reporter. Hosted by @fresnoland with @DaniBergstrom moderating.
@LauraTsutsui of KVPR says there is a always push to get minorities to vote in Central Valley but doesn’t always work. Bee Editor Joe says you would expect better turnout by Dems but doesn’t typically happen like with Valdoao v TJ Cox. Get out the vote doesn’t always materialize
Last day to register in CA but you can still vote by provisional vote. Measure A : cannabis business license won’t actually legalize MJ but how it will be taxed. Bee Editorial Board endorsed it for 10 million reasons. Black market provides no tax revenue but this will give $10 M

Yo my dudes I'm procrastinating on revising my book and my looming deadline so I'm gonna thread again and tell y'all about the invention of kabuki theater because it is #WILD

Let me tell you the story of a woman

and her incredible pants
The place: JAPAN, OBVIOUSLY
The time: THE DAWN OF THE 1600S. The Portuguese had arrived sixty years before, in 1543, and promptly looked around and went "oh my gOD the #AESTHETIC" which blah blah blah eventually led to an outbreak of weeaboos in 18th century Europe BUT IRRELEVANT
Because right as the Portuguese were gawking like unwashed tourists, the Japanese were eyeing them up right back and ALSO going "Oh my god the #aesthetic tho"

and then it was about ECONOMICS 😍 and TRADE EMPIRES 😍😍
