Just look at him 💔
A ginger and white cat is sitting inside a mint green rolling pet carrier with mesh sides. The cat is looking out through the front mesh panel with wide eyes and paws raised slightly, as if curious or surprised. The carrier has four wheels and zippered closures.

Was just looking for a cat stroller/carrier and found gold 😍

These photoshop mad skills made me feel so warm. The cats they picked and their poses are sooo funny and yet perfect. Got a bit nostalgic for the days when I was learning to make collages in Photoshop.
Four images show a wheeled pet carrier for cats with a telescopic handle. Top left: two carrier versions—one closed, one open with a cat inside. Top right: a woman at a train station pulling the carrier with a cat. Bottom left: three women having a picnic with the carrier and a cat next to them. Bottom right: an infographic showing top and side openings, both with a cat inside.

Really like how Sara put this into words, so I want to leave it here. Great, thoughtful post, btw.
Using CSS, we provide visual affordances to our interfaces (using color, layout, spacing, and more). ARIA provides what I like to call “semantic affordances” to screen reader users. ARIA attributes “paint” a (non-visual) “picture” of the page to screen reader users.

Just some quotes from the good post related to the initial topic

addyo.substack.com/p/avoiding-s...
“I’ve become a human clipboard” he laments, blindly shuttling errors to the AI and solutions back to code. Each error used to teach him something new; now the solution appears magically and he learns nothing. The dopamine rush of an instant answer replaced the satisfaction of hard-won understanding. In short, by outsourcing the thinking to an LLM, he was trading away long-term mastery for short-term convenience. Speed vs. Knowledge trade-off: AI offers quick answers (high speed, low learning), whereas older methods (Stack Overflow, documentation) were slower but built deeper understanding

Fantastic comprehensive list of UI element states that users might encounter, compiled by @ericwbailey.website.

Super handy!

Especially loved the state names for draggable elements 👻

Ghost Origin A Dragged element shows a preview of where it originated from prior to being placed in a Dragged state (thanks to Vernon Fowler). Ghost Destination A Dragged element shows a preview of where it will be placed when placed into a Dropped state (thanks to Vernon Fowler).

Accidentally opened world news while looking for references for my writing
A fiery apocalypse with "The world" text above, and a man yelling "Do you need any poems?" with "poets" label on him.
