The 'foster' earlier. She had a fever of 104, but the first dose of antibiotics seems to have knocked it down. I caught it early it seems. She 5 weeks and not even 1.5 pounds.

The kid has made it a habit to play with the cat before bed. He told her he wasn't going to play tonight. She bit him. Not bad or viciously or anything, but she made her feelings known. They're playing now.

There's always a storm within a week of my peonies blooming. Sometimes I don't get 3 days with it before the stems are broken by the winds.

@samsungmobileus.bsky.social This is bad usability. It looks like 160 instead of up arrow 60. The 37 not so much since I did a doubletake on the 60. The husband agrees. High and low would be much clearer if it's really needed. #usability #mobile

From Vitaly Friedman's talk titled "Inclusive Design Patterns for 2025", "Accessibility isn't a Checklist Accessibility is not a compliance checklist. It's an effort to keep a digital experience meaningful and usable for as many people as possible. There are no edge cases or average users." #AxeCon
