Far too analogue to fit in any of your binaries.

I want to make a custom theme - is there some way to check for accessibility issues, like a tool where I put in some colors and it tells me if that scheme isn't ideal for colorblind people or something?
Spent a fair bit of today de-nettling the back garden. As a result of this I now have rather tingly forearms.
...which of course has led me into thinking about historical domme ads which I'm sure I've seen some advertising use of nettles? Anyway, been thinking about my Crowthorne's stories again. Maybe one of those should feature nettles... http://www.sandralindsey.wales/tag/crowthornes/
Love how the number of trees we planted in our garden means we can now go sit outside in the sunshine without actually having to deal with direct sunlight.
I used to say I was born in the wrong century because in my late teens I could look very much the English Regency ideal of porcelain-pale skin & natural ringlets framing my face :-D
@Remittancegirl ours tend to only sleep on our bed in wintertime when they want the extra warmth - although I have on a number of occasions woken up to find one curled around my head on the pillow!
They are utterly adorable, but live completely by their own rules 💜
Look I'm not going to wee all over your enjoyment of the EBU's little song writing jamboree. What I will do is assume that since you're all good people† that if you can spare anything you have done your bit. You know, humanitarian wise. And if you haven't yet the key terms are Olive Branch and Pass the Hat.
Google Maps has rolled out an update which shows which parts of your journey are on marked cycle lanes! I might be slow off the mark, I’ve not cycled in a while but... this is cool isn’t it???
TFW you have a particularly smart dog who is good at picking up on words, and have to refer to things by euphemism when planning so as to not cause unreasonable excitement.
If you mention, for example "afternoon walk" he will leap for the front door, so we have to discuss "who is going to perform the perambulation which occurs post lunch?"; similarly if there is a plan to eat sausages they must be referred to as tubular porcine products, treats are things which are unusually pleasant to consume, and cheese is solidified dairy product.
One always uses the actual word at the requisite time, of course.
There’s a chance I might get to read one of my poems on national television. I’m thinking maybe I’ll read the one about what it’s like to have chronic tinnitus. It’s never been published anywhere, and I think it’s a good one. #poetry#PoetryCommunity
I am going to blame "call HMRC‡" being on my TODO list† for this coming week for the nightmare about leeches.
†Had to correct this from TODO lust, there will probably be lustful thoughts next week but not about tax.
‡It isn't the paying taxes I mind but the sheer excess faff they make it sometimes.
@thegreatgonzo on the plus side, it's HMRC you need to call, who do allow their folks to act human & hold proper conversations on the phone. The IRS in USA seem to stall if you deviate from their script.
@Sbectol was that just before they did up the middle with posh shops overlooking the River Kennet (& removed any places to moor up)? I know that was fairly new when I went through in 2001.
In the realm of bizarre things happening to unfortunate people I don't know on the other side of the world for whom I can do precisely nothing, it's hard to get my attention. But what's this I hear about the Brits rounding up international asylum seekers and mailing them to concentration camps in, of all places, bloody Rwanda? How? What? Who thought that was a good idea? I can't even. I don't even. Just what? Never mind, I can't afford to think about this. My brain hurts now.
According to what was reported the day the bill was last debated, both houses of Parliament were basically told "You're going to stay here & keep voting until you vote for it to pass," which is its own whole other nightmarish reality.
