Why You Should Use px Units for margin, padding, & Other Spacing Techniques | Ashlee M Boyer

When users increase their text size, they're not trying to make the space around text bigger.

"Missing Brain Receptor May Hold the Key to Autism"

WTF, NeuroscienceNews? Missing? It says in the fucking summary that it's reduced, not missing, and why do you consistently paint it as some defective form of a normal brain? We aren't the same as you. It's not "missing" OR "reduced". It's just different from you, you assholes! You left out the phrase "relative to".

Heaven forbid people be different from each other! That might lead to...diversity! Scandalous!

So cool. If you zoom in on the upper right, you see a little crescent. That's the Martian moon Phobos.

Zoom in again and you'll see a star next to Phobos. That's Earth! That's home.

Seen from Mars by NASA's Curiosity rover.

NASA's Curiosity Mars rover used its Mast Camera, or Mastcam, to capture this view of Earth setting while Phobos, one of Mars' two moons, is rising. It's the first time an image of the two celestial bodies have been captured together from the surface of Mars.

If you're looking for something new to do this year, I just posted the last edition of the audiogames.net monthly digest. I haven't posted about these here in a while though I probably really should, because there's a lot happening. This most recent one covers all blind friendly game releases I heard about both on the audiogames.net forum and off throughout December and even into the new year and boy there was a lot to cover. A lot of games got modded to be accessible, including both entries in the hand of fate series as well as the Phoenix Wright trilogy and that's just the tip of the iceberg. There's also rhythm games, some christmas vibes, a bunch of games for iOS and so much more. forum.audiogames.net/post/9424…

Happy New Year - Gelukkig Nieuwjaar - Einen Guten Rutsch - Bonne Année - Sǎn Bɛ Sǎn Bɛ - Mwaka mwerú mwega!
"One whose seeds have not sprouted, does not give up planting!"
This is a Kikuyu proverb about perseverance, resilience,, and not giving up on future potential despite a lack of noticeable results so far. This felt like a good New Year's motivation to post. Basically, you've got this!
