Some people replace the word "season" with "szn" or the word "please" with "plz." Not all sighted users will know what those spellings are supposed to mean, and many screen reader users won't, either. Many screen readers will read "szn" as S-Z-N and "plz" as P-L-Z.

I've decided to take my music off Spotify and other streaming platforms. All of my songs will be available on BandCamp and SoundCloud, and I will eventually be adding them for purchase to my website as well.

Think of how much music you could actually *own* if you put that monthly subscription cost towards purchasing music instead.
Even better, you actually get to pay and support the artists you like.

Both of my arms are still sore from the IVs I got during the CT scan. My left arm also has a nasty bruise because the vein collapsed during the IV which is why I got a second IV. Hopefully the results come in this week or next.

If casual cooking & management games are your jam (I will add a jam recipe soon), maybe give my web prototype a quick go and throw some feedback my way!

Back from the CT scan. It went well but will take about a week before my doctor gets the results.

Always struck me as odd, but it made sense.

i used to think the lyric was ‘i wanna rock and roll all night / and part of every day’ and i remember thinking, honestly that sounds reasonable

As a former dish washer, I wish people would have given me tablets.
if you are using tablets in the machine it may be stopping you cleaning the dishes properly. @techconnectify.bsky.social has a fantastic video about it all. youtu.be/jHP942Livy0
