This entire thread. Twitter is a critical comms tool for so many reasons, the prospect of losing it is incredibly worrying. I'm really hoping something else emerges to fill that gap.

Can everyone please stop adding their Mastodon usernames to their Twitter names? It’s really frustrating for screen reader users. Hearing them being read out loud when scrolling down my timeline isn’t fun. Add it to your bio or make a pinned tweet instead.

My family decided to just have Snacksgiving this year, and it was the best Thanksgiving we've ever done. Everyone was so relaxed and ready to hang out, with almost no dishes and zero people lost to the dreaded Ongoing Kitchen Struggle. Snacksgiving! You heard it here first.

This is my very first zero-gift Christmas (though one side of the family have been zero-gift for years), and it's everything I dreamed it would be. I keep feeling like I should be stressed, and then remembering why I'm not.

The CSS course by Josh W. Comeau is one of the best investments I've ever made, and it's inspiring me to dig deep in other "known" areas too. Has anyone taken an online deep-dive SQL course that really impressed you?

I patiently await the day when she shows up at my door. After all this time she's ready for a change. I tell her I don't want to change her—I love her—I just want her to become the best version of herself.

I scuffed a woman's car with my car. I apologized and told her to send me an estimate for repairs. We spent the next two weeks exchanging friendly texts until she excitedly updated me that she had managed to crowd-source and get it fixed for $28. Can we all be like this?

I will be grateful to the OG bloggers forever. They were bold and honest and unapologetic in a way that I had never seen before, and gave me the courage to be who I wanted to be, not who others wanted me to be. I hope you have peace now, Heather B. Hamilton. You changed my life.
