NEW THREAD FOR JEWELRY GIFTS FOR TRANS PEOPLE THING.

Hi everyone. I'm Nora. I'm a jeweler. I want to give trans people who wouldn't normally get anything for the holidays this year something nice that I made, by giving them gift cards to my shop. If that's you, read on. (Please also share this.)

As a sighted person I've got so used to the alt text on here I just tried to click a photo someone Whatsapped me to find out whether the animal was a cat or a squirrel. It's not just helpful for screen reader users!

taking HRT is a lot like being a victorian mad scientist

“two years past, i began a series of forbidden experiments. forced to work in secret, i was left with myself as the only suitable test subject.

“my experiments were highly successful. i have been invigorated beyond my wildest dreams, my faculties are increased, i have gained youth and beauty untold.

“the experiments, however, came at a cost. once a week, i must inject myself with the serum, or i begin a transformation most monstrous…”

The wait is over. HTML for People is OUT NOW!

I feel strongly that anyone should be able to make a website with HTML if they want. This web book will teach you how to do just that. It doesn’t require any previous experience making websites or coding. I will cover everything you need to know to get started in an approachable and friendly way.

And it’s free for all. 🚀

HTML for People

HTML isn't only for people working in the tech field. It's for everyone. Learn how to make a website from scratch in this beginner friendly web book.

@eniko Would be interested in hearing about your experience with it, if you do switch.

I've been kinda negative about Cohost in the past, but I do gotta say my "cool blogs I like" RSS feed is WAY quieter now since the Cohost blogs I followed via RSS can't post.

I've followed the same folks' personal blogs where I could find them, but it's still quieter.

I LOVE the idea of hand publishing personal sites and blogs/RSS feeds, but there IS something to be said for a platform that makes publishing easier/reduces the friction of it.
