Attempting to sugarcoat the monstrous things that begin today would be dishonest as well as useless, but catastrophizing isn’t useful either. So I’m looking for ways to manage my own affect so as to resist as often as possible. To that end I am going to try to do a daily journaling exercise where I ask myself every day, what concrete actions I can take to care for:
- myself
- my family
- my friends
- my community
- the world
In that order, understanding that I will rarely complete the list.
This is psychological pollution under the guise of caring. Saying this to me, in response to MY work, is a classic mastodon experience. Express your despair somewhere else if you need to but understand that it is profoundly threatening to dump this into the mentions of women in science. It accomplishes nothing but forcing me to imagine my life under threat.

@grimalkina@mastodon.social Well unfortunately, this is all going away. In a few years, women will not be allowed to enter science - capable or not. Nor get abortions, work outside of the home, or leave their abusive husbands.Mastodon Canada

Here's an example page which does work correctly with VoiceOver, where the "Tuesday", "Wednesday" and "Thursday" links cause the corresponding headings to be correctly focused because the `<h2>` elements have `tabindex="-1"`.
I'll also note that the links on the In-Process page don't actually work correctly in Chrome on Windows either, even though NVDA gives the impression that they do. If you activate e.g. "Add-on survey" and then press NVDA+Tab, you hear:
"NV Access | In-Process 20th January 2025 document focused read only"
... instead of:
"Add-on survey heading focused"
In other words, the page scrolls and NVDA announces the heading, but keyboard focus doesn't actually move there. `tabindex="-1"` will also fix this.
We still run into instances where skip links targeting headings fail to provide an equitable experience without the target being focusable. It's possible that in such cases, there is something else wrong on the page. At the same time, adding the tabindex fixes the problem, allows SR users to determine the new focus point instead of it being on the body, and provides a visible indication of focus for people who benefit from that (particularly if coupled with :focus-visible).
I think it's good to know if a given technique should no longer technically be required especially if it leads to knowledge of an Apple bug (that they won't fix), but I maintain that there's an easy way to improve this situation with no negative side effects, and so whether it should need the workaround or not is practically moot for users.
On the other hand, we've now spent more time talking about the problem than it would've taken me to read the whole page so... shrug :)
@jyarbrough @jcsteh @marco Moving focus can be a sticky topic because it causes an outline/ring to appear around the thing that receives it (at least on accessible sites). Many web designers for some reason have an aversion to this happening when a focus change is triggered with a mouse, and this may explain why browser developers have been hesitant to do more than just scrolling for skip links.
Then again, this is a complete guess and could be wildly off the mark.
Report: "An Israeli sniper shot dead a Palestinian child in Rafah... in an apparent violation of the ceasefire agreement."
"& witnesses in Gaza filmed the Israeli army opening fire on a man trying to retrieve the child’s body."
Decades of Israeli warmongering show a pattern of the Israeli military trying to provoke the "other side" into responding in order to use it as "justification" for further slaughter.

Today we remember that the FBI, acting in its lawful and official capacity, tried to blackmail Martin Luther King, Jr. into committing suicide and we almost certainly would not know that for a fact if a bunch of hippies hadn’t literally burglarized an FBI office in 1971, an action which is definitely illegal.

Myself and my good friend @bumble (who runs a variety of server types on the fediverse), are joining forces to offer #hosting for #GoToSocial servers.
It's early days but we'd be keen to hear from anyone who wants to try running their own GoToSocial but doesn't have the skill, want, or equipment to run their own server.
The aim is to simply charge for running costs for the server. We will not take any costs from this (unless we end up with hundreds of them!). We anticipate a basic instance for one user (or a small handful) will be 5 euros per month and the charge is month to month. You pay each month in advance, and can cancel any time.
All you need is a domain name (or a sub-domain of your existing domain). We can help with this, or help you buy one for a few dollars/euros. We will handle all admin of the server.
Initially we are only looking for a few people to participate. If you are interested send me a direct message.

76 Years Ago Today For The First Time Ever a Presidential Inauguration Was Aired on TV | Cord Cutters News
Seventy-six years ago today, on January 20, 1949, a new chapter in American history unfolded, not just in the political arena, but in the realm of media and technology. Harry S.Luke Bouma (Cord Cutters News)
Jenny had married Roger, a man much older than her. Concerned about his health, she decided they should have separate bedrooms after the wedding to ensure he didn’t over-exert himself.
That night, after the celebrations, Jenny got ready for bed. Soon, there was a knock at her door. It was Roger, her 85-year-old groom, ready for some romantic time together.
They enjoyed their time, and Roger left. Jenny was about to fall asleep when she heard another knock. To her surprise, it was Roger again, full of energy. They spent more time together, and he left once more.
Just as she settled in, there was yet another knock. Roger, as lively as ever, was back for a third round. Jenny laughed and went along with it again.
Afterward, she looked at Roger in amazement. "I’m so impressed!" she said. "At your age, you’ve got more stamina than men a third your age. You’re incredible!"
Roger paused, looking puzzled. "Wait," he said. "You mean I’ve been here before?"
