First pants day of the year. Feels like I’m no longer wearing a swamp. 👖

TIL that the CSS relative color spec says that currentColor is supported, but no browser supports it. Sad times.

Listening to Lulu for the first time. So hard to disassociate from all the discourse this far in, but I’m trying to just take it in. Will probably require multiple listens. 🎵

I don’t have words for how deeply Nick Cave speaking about grief and joy and music impacted me.

(The title is only clickbait-y if you don't like Disco, in which case, boooo) Many music industry figures have a huge impact without being in the spotlight, but Nile Rodgers is my favorite … Read more
