Managed to post my entry to this monthās blog carnival just in time! I had a lot more to say about accessibility, but part 2 will have to wait until later since Iāve been feeling quite unwell.

I made a rambling post about my observation when it came to my own art and other people through what they call āuglyā. I actually got inspired to write it through a pinterest post about letting yourself make ābad workā, with a comment thread talking about how an artist has different limits. It changed my perspective a little bit

I need to remember this as a blog writer. If I have to come away from every blog post with a beaming sense of pride, I will simply never write because Iāll be discouraged by every time I try.
Also I did another Link of the Post :p
Iāve got a couple of new posts.
You can blame @frills for this one. Itās a response to a recent post of hers.

My website turned 1 yesterday! I simultaneously feel like itās been way shorter and way longer than that.
Thanks to 32bitcafe for making that year awesome!! 
So glad to have found this community.

What a wondeful trip down the evolution of your homepage! I need to get off of my ass and write the words to my history page.
Itās amazing how much your website has changed over the year, I only tend to change mine up annually!
Great work @frills

I adore your history page! It was definitely an inspiration to start archiving screenshots.
And consider my website is much younger and has far less content than yours, so itās simpler to change up at the moment. The last year I was finding my feet with my aesthetic, donāt expect it to change so much in the next 12 months (famous last words)

I enjoyed your Things to do post! Iāll look forward to your IndieWeb Carnival in September, but it also reminded me to check out the one for April and write something up to go with it.
I saw you mentioned about candidate research for your state, and encouraging voter turnout is one of my passions, so it made me happy. I figured Iād mention a resource that you may already know about:
The League of Women Voters has voting guides for each state where you can take an easy quiz to decide which candidates you want to support. It then gives you an easy cheat sheet you can print out and take with you to the polls. I use it every time I go in, and like to share it with folks who may be intimidated by the process.

Yeah, Rising Thumb is hosting this month. Iām bouncing around some ideas myself concerning the āworse is betterā approach to programming and āgood enoughā as a way to resist both perfectionism and the never ending demands of capital on an individuals time and energy, where, instead of spending nights and weekends doing unpaid overtime to make something perfect, you act your wage, say, āfuck it; this will doā and down tools at 5:00pm every day.
Thanks for sharing this, but Iāve been using it for a while. Itās more convenient than looking up each candidate and wading through irrelevant search results.
Hey no problem! I always mention it just in case, and maybe others might find the link useful as well.
As for the IndieWeb carnival, Iām interested to see how many different interpretations there are about the theme. RisingThumbās own post about it is different than I would have expected given the title.
I wrote this today on my lunch break. It might be a bit spicy.
Guess what board made the list?

I made a post about the game Buckshot Roulette, and why I think people enjoy the idea of Russian Roulette
I convert everything to webp before I upload it to a webserver. I know a lot of people have strong opinions about it, but I think its mostly just resistance to change for the sake of it at this point. I know that it was really annoying when webp first came out if you were a file hoarder and suddenly you have all these weird file formats your computer doesnāt know what to do with, but that era is kind of over. Webp is just smaller file sizes.
I find it strange how in the same breath people will talk about why they donāt like Javascript because of the bloat and then serve a gallery of full size images that arenāt optimized for the web at all. This isnāt to shame people that donāt have a workflow for doing all this yet and havenāt thought about all these subjects; there is nothing wrong with that.
I just think its time for the hatred of webp to come to an end. It was a rocky transition, I agree. But its so good.

Itās so true though.
