I'll continue to buy from Ms Myerscough's collection of work as I find it beautiful and nostalgic and how the future was meant to look when I was a kid. But this self harm to keep the gammon happy is enough.England has to realise it's not the boss of anything

The EU are removing their de minimis threshold next year. So that will be the EU added to the growing list of places that I can’t sell to.
As a small business it’s getting harder and harder to keep going.
Fuck brexit and all who sail in her. 🤬

Glimpses of the newly restored roof of the passenger train shed at Scarborough Railway Sta. After more than 3 yrs' work, scaffolding is coming down at the 1845 grade II station that 'retains the original G T Andrews roof structure, a unique survival for a station of this size.'

The UK, where the day after a decision to take half a million children out of poverty, the media & political world has been full of sneering at those same children & their families, labelling them as ‘Benefits Street’, while the same people are moaning about a tax on £2m mansions. Shameful stuff.

⚓️ New Article: A garden in bloom
A garden in bloom
Last week, I updated the layout of my digital garden and pulled over a ton of stuff that was behind the members-only paywall.
I’ll be doing some pruning and tending to the garden over the coming weeks. The sections on fetch(), flexbox, and CSS grid could all use some cleaning up to make them more clear and simple.
I’ve got guides around web components, linting, and JS testing that I haven’t added yet, because they need a complete rewrite based on how I work today.

On #TransDayofRemembrance, I want to honour the memory of every single trans person hurt by a monster and every single trans person who felt they couldn’t live in a world full of monsters.
If you don’t want trans people to exist, get help. Fix your heart.
It’s you. Not them.
