#Walken #Christmas

Even if he hadn’t written three of the most-loved #DoctorWho stories, Chris Boucher would be a legend for just this line:

"You know, the very powerful and the very stupid have one thing in common. They don't alter their views to fit the facts. They alter the facts to fit their views, which can be uncomfortable if you happen to be one of the facts that needs altering."

RIP Chris 💙💙

Our #Godzilla #christmastree is up. Made from a few #Recycled Christmas trees people were taking to the tip. He needs some red light up eyes & other lights but he’s looking cool lol #Christmas #Monster

Beaker: Meh meh meh meh meh. Meh meh meh meh meh meh.

Dr. Bunsen Honeydew: Indeed, Beaker. The destroyer of worlds.

Productivity tip: get a cat.

That way even if it takes you two hours to write 500 words you can just glance over to the cat that spent that entire time sleeping on the radiator and think that at least you got something done.

Granted, you will envy the cat’s lifestyle.

You go talk to kindergartners or 1st-grade kids,
you find a class full of science enthusiasts. They
ask deep questions. They ask, "What is a dream, why do we have toes, why is the moon round, what is the birthday of the world, why is grass green?" These are profound, important questions. They just bubble right out of them.
You go talk to 12th graders & there's none of
that. They've become incurious. Something terrible has happened between kindergarten and 12th grade.

Quoth the kitten…

I will never not share this perennial meme

Mid-sneeze. This is my favorite picture ever taken of him.

Brought the bear back to <form> controls with CSS :has() and the CSS anchoring API ✨

ʕ´•ᴥ•`ʔ

Update paw position based on focused input 👇

:root:has([type=password]:focus) .paw {
top: anchor(--password, top);
}

The password reveal toggle is also anchored to the password input. No need for wrappers, etc.

You can get a lot done with CSS and HTML state alone 💪

#BlackMastodon When I started off in engineering, I told a senior colleague that I wanted to have a career a generalist instead of specializing in one area of expertise. His response was dismissive "Jack-Of-All-Trades. Master of none."

I've since come to find out that the actual full quote is:
"Jack of all trades is master of none, but oftentimes better of a master of none."

With respect to all the specialists, don't let anybody shame you for being a generalist.

If you see this toot (yeah this one right here), can you boost it for me? It will help my new server federate with the wider Mastodon network. 🚀 🙏

Thanks to anyone who can do this. It is really appreciated! This server is small but will be hosting several #peace #SocialJustice and #Humanistic groups, so it is for a good cause.

Looks like me when I make an effort to dress up.

#ArtAdventCalendar day 6 is this adorable miniature schnauzer in bright colors! This was drawn with pastels in 2017. I really like the way the dog turned out, but if I had it to do again I would pick a different background. The reference photo was of the dog sitting in a grassy field.

noticed this "brag document" blog post I wrote going around again. I think a really nice way to do it is in a group of people who support each other during perf review season. Sometimes it's easier for someone else to see how great your work is!
