Went to a language cafe to help people learn finnish, but turns out the space is also a bike workshop you can use freely.

I want this.

(Also had no idea you can nowadays use @supports font-tech(color-COLRv1) { … } in CSS, nor that there is a font-variant-emoji property to change the presentation style for emojis)

Yeah I mean if you want only CSS I guess you’re pretty much stuck with what you can do within @font-face. That isn’t much, beyond size-adjust.

Nevertheless, got curious what even are the unicode-ranges for emojis so did a quick attempt: codepen.io/arielsalmine...

Took this single photo yesterday. I had risotto with smoked reindeer heart as the main (sorry, not photographed, this was the entrée).

My (usual) purse has a keyring thingy, so I keep my AirPods case (and earplugs case) attached to it at all times. Working great so far, although may annoy me at home at times…

I can’t even do that nowadays, would just straight go back home to get them 🫣

I don’t know about college, but sounds pretty accurate based on my/daughter’s elementary school experience in Menlo Park, CA 😅

It’s like I have these soundtracks for certain periods in my life. But instead of a full album, they’re a single song. And those songs hold so many memories in them. Literally all my strongest feelings are stored in these songs. I don’t think I’d be anything without music.
