Heading to Amsterdam. I wonder if there will be anyone else there, maybe for a conference or something? You never know.

It would be impossible to predict. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Now more than ever we need independent, open source tools like 11ty and the community around it to help us build a humane web. CSS { IRL } and Manifesto for a Humane Web are built with 11ty. I already support this wonderful project and you can too

I like the web monetisation proposal being brought forward by @ppk:

• Beloved sites get sold and dropped or "eaten by AI", and the reason is money.
• For those willing, a trickling micro payment stream could send a few cents every few seconds from a reader's wallet to that of a website owner.
• The readers would control their max rate and max outlay per month, for example.
• The readers could block certain sites/domains from receiving money.
• There are still lots of open questions!

On a day when my brain is telling me that no one wants to read my stupid opinions, it’s very heart-warming to read so many kind words, thank you 🥰

I wrote a rambling post for Branch on the theme of perfectionism, code and web sustainability: https://branch.climateaction.tech/issues/issue-8/the-perfect-site-doesnt-exist/ I’m very proud to have made a nice illustration for it too! The site is grid-aware, so images will only show up in full when the carbon intensity of the grid is low. (You can toggle if you really want to see it though)

Absolute banger of a newsletter by @fonts this week: https://buttondown.email/cascade/archive/017-how-to-kill-the-cascade/. Some great use cases for @scope and revert-layer. CSS is awesome 💜 #css

All those ads and tracking scripts have an environmental impact as well as a privacy one. Useful article by Root on the environmental benefits of privacy-focussed web design: https://rootwebdesign.studio/articles/the-environmental-benefits-of-privacy-focussed-web-design/?utm_source=rootwebdesignstudio&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=3-when-sustainable-web-design-meets-digital

I had the pleasure of chatting with Chris and Dave on @shoptalkshow! We managed to talk a bit about web sustainability, you have to listen to us talk about drums first though 😆 https://shoptalkshow.com/606/
