4-panel comic. (1) [Two people standing next to house with solar panels on roof. Person 2 has a black hat.] PERSON 1: Wait, you got solar panels? I thought you were against renewables. (2) PERSON 2: Oh, definitely. I hate the environment and want to harm it as much as possible. I’d *love* to have an oil furnace. (3) PERSON 2: But the technology just isn’t there and the cost is too high. I despise solar, but it makes more financial sense in my situation. (4) PERSON 2: But with the money I’m saving, I can buy and burn industrial waste in my yard to try to make up for it. PERSON 1: Ah, yeah, carbon onsets.

A very small tortoise looks out from a cave made of half a coconut shell across some red and grey gravel.

And we know that because retroreflectors were left at seven sites on the Moon by three crews of the Apollo program. We bounce light off them, and it measures Moon-Earth distance very precisely.

Just something to keep in your pocket the next time you're around, y'know.

One Of Those.

WebAIM: The WebAIM Million - The 2026 report on the accessibility of the top 1,000,000 home pages

Y'all this is why you have to care about digital accessibility beyond alt text. Yes, it's important but it's not everything. You could have every image with alt text on every site and still have an inaccessible internet

Also, I don't think I've felt someone else's joy more strongly, more contagiously, than when I've seen friends grow more confident and comfortable with them selves by being who they are. I don't think I've ever been able to say "I'm so happy for you" with such honesty.

It's Trans Day of Visibility today. If you're trans and are raising money for something (I don't care what it is), reply to this thread and I will boost you.

If you are a cis person, take a look and find someone to support if you can.

Everyone give this a share after.

It remains shocking that reporting on anything having to do with trans people is so rarely based on, or even includes, talking to trans people.

Yeah, not surprising. Marginalization in practice. But outraging and irresponsible just the same.

a bald man wearing green glasses is standing in front of a desk with the word done written on it Alt: An animated GIF with Danny DeVito sweeping everything off a desk subtitled "Done".

Retrospective done. Day done. Week done. Done.

Time to figure out how to use up the left over gnocchi before it goes off.

Hoping y'all get to have a good weekend ❤️
