When reality surpasses fiction! Top: fictional forecast for August 2050, broadcast by French TV in 2014 to warn about the consequences of global warming. Bottom: Real French forecast for yesterday, June 22, 2026.

That’s me! Also available as a highly rated talk that i’d love to give at your conference or meetup!

Last week I didn’t get the job I’d been interviewing for, but I did become an allotment holder, so that’s something. Still looking for interesting front-end work making good stuff for nice people. If anyone wants to pay me so I can hand it straight to the bank and HMRC, that’d be lovely.

I’m often asked for accessibility resources for beginners. @laurakalbag.bsky.social's book has been my go to. It’s clear, practical, and works for designers, developers, and anyone involved in building products. The best part: it’s now free and available online. Bookmark it. Read it. Share it!

Alright, I'll admit it, I'm a booster now. Here's 14 ways to supercharge your workflow with AI bell.bz/14-ways-to-s...

I really wasn't expecting much when I posted this morning saying I was looking for work. I hadn't even got out of bed yet. But so many lovely humans have reposted or liked it. Thanks all! ❤️

I’m not a big user of BlueSky (yet), but if anyone sees this I’m looking for work. I’m a front-end developer, with a focus on low-carbon, design-led, accessible, websites — often using Astro and headless CMSs like Storyblok. I’m open to freelance or possibly the right perm role 🤞

There’s never been a better time to switch from Next.js to Astro nitter.net/rauchg/statu...

Does anyone have any good tips for dealing with burnout? Don’t think I’ve had it this bad in ~20 years.

In place of a new comic, have an old one instead. This was my first comic to joke about the preposterous idea of a robot taking someone's job. 2018. How innocent we were... Mike Mignola is still God.

Alright, we're actually doing this open working thing. We're going to work on projects, for real clients who are set up to make people's lives tangibly better. We can only do that if it works financially though because we've got mortgages etc. Your support will make this happen.

At Green Web Foundation, we're kicking off a project which we're calling Grid-aware Websites. Lowkey excited to getting this code out into the wild. 🤓 www.thegreenwebfoundation.org/news/introdu...

You can tell it’s nearly December when clients start saying “We need this by the end of the year”. Ah yes, the festive tradition of last-minute panic. Who needs a relaxing build up to Christmas anyway?

⚡️ CAN BILL Constituency Week of Action! ⚡️ 💚 A big thank you to everyone who took part across the UK last week! It’s inspiring to see so many campaigners urging their MPs to back the Climate and Nature Bill. 🐝 Is your MP backing the #CANBill? zerohour.uk

Is everybody believing in the servers? If you don't believe in the servers they don't work

I hoped I’d be wrong but I think a big % of Americans would simply never vote for a woman. To them, even a senile fascist running the country is easier to stomach than a female president. Most won’t even admit this to themselves. It just so happens that no female candidate is ever good enough.

Oh America. Not again.

Would you like to display your Bluesky posts in your Astro site? I've made an Astro content loader for Bluesky! When you build the site it loads your posts and puts them in a content collection. You can then display them on a page, or use the raw data however you want. github.com/ascorbic/ast...
