Both Kevin Bahl and Zayne Parekh share a common thing, and that's their South Asian roots. Both these players are making a huge impact in creating positive representation within the community and in a sport that is slowly seeing more diversity.

Read more about it below!
The Calgary Flames have strong South Asian representation in Kevin Bahl and Zayne Parekh
The sport of hockey is growing, and diversity has been a major part of its recent traction in other communities. The South Asian community is no different, as there have been multiple individuals throughout the NHL's history who have broken barriers to be a part of this great sport. The Calgary Flames now have two players who have South Asian roots in Kevin Bahl and Zayne Parekh.

I clicked ONE ad about watches on Instagram and now all my ads are watches.

I've been placed on a watch list.

Conroy moved the needle in the right direction with this one. I get wanting the team to trade for a gamechanger, but that ain't happening with where the team is right now.

It's not our turn, yet.
Conroy is cooking! The #Flames have traded Andrei Kuzmenko, Jakob Pelletier, a 2025 2nd-round pick, and a 2028 7th-round pick to the Flyers in exchange for Morgan Frost and Joel Farabee.

This repo represents an internal tool that works as a web app on Cloud Run.

If you asked me five years, or one year, or one month ago if this was something I'd thought I'd be doing in my spare time, I would have said nope.

currently trying to fight end-of-year burnout with a few strategies:

1. taking breaks
2. going outside
3. exercising and eating well
4. upending capitalism

Since fully deleting everything off of my Twitter, all I've gotten are bot follows on the account. Sounds about right.

A brief thread on alt-text.

Alt text is descriptive text that conveys the meaning of an image. It's designed to make visual content accessible to people with vision disabilities. When a person uses assistive technology such as a screen reader, the screen reader will read the onscreen text aloud 1/7

The BlueSky accessibility settings has a good feature requiring alt text before posting.

Everyone should go turn this on.
