Apparently the British solution to "we have electrical issues in Manchester trains are cancelled" is to tell people to, checks notes "do not travel". Great 😑 I booked a Flixbus as a replacement but I hope the nice waitress in the cutest tea place ever gets a solution to go home too 🥺

Okay people, who do we need to contact and petition to, to get Delainey Hayles (Claudia) a TV show award for her acting in season 3 episode 6 of The Vampire Lestat? Don't get me wrong, Sam Reid is amazing and Jacob Anderson is his usual perfect broody a-hole. But Delainey gave me goosebumps 😱

Wow the Ryanair app (that you have to download because they won't send boarding passes in PDF) is next level anxiety inducing. They notify you for any crap but you are also scared to switch them off in case there is an actually important one 😡 I usually avoid them, but, no choice this time.

Did you know I draw DT! style avatars for people? I do! And I can draw one for you too, for the low low price of £5! ko-fi.com/c/bc05c4f1cb

Manual activity of the week: my Pikachu luggage needed a Pikachu keychain 😅 That flower is absolutely a gift from another pokemon, but I won't name names because their romance deserves privacy 💜

News from the "gaming with vestibular disorder" world: I tried my first VR game today, 55 min, zero motion sickness. I am super surprised and super happy. You have to understand that I get nauseous after 10min of Spyro the Dragon 😅 So, Atlantis LBRV, yes. Parallax on your site: NOPE!

I and many of my friends stream on Twitch. I say, *absolutely the fuck not*. Friends who stream on Twitch, there is a comment thread here where you can make your voices heard: twitch.uservoice.com/forums/92338... This is the *least* they can do.

Twitch and Amazon are apparently planning to use streams to train Generative AI. Multiple sources tell me it will be announced in the coming months, despite some internal friction against it. Creators may be able to opt out of some training data.

Current status: waiting for my friends to level up with me on the book series because I have 150 other memes I want to share but I don't want to spoil 😅 IWKYM!

Hey look, it’s my latest lino print, The Devil at Stanton Drew! 🔥 Very much inspired by a folk tale surrounding the neolithic standing stones at the Somerset village of Stanton Drew. 🔥 This print will go live at 12 00 (GMT) on Friday 31st July... 👁️ slipperyjack.bigcartel.com

I'm thinking about this again. There's a missed opportunity here, we could have had a fun contest like the Eurovision with each team presenting their design, music and all. Raaah!!!

I don't want to influence your votes but honestly the H proposal for the new European bank notes looks amazing!! www.ecb.europa.eu/euro/banknot...

Haaa, the sidequests... in order to update my PHP version I had to update WO, but, also, apparently my Ubuntu version. Happy to report the whole stack of my blog is up to date and running (hopefully?). That was, an adventure. I prefer to get flowers for NPCs, honestly less scary!

To continue on the topic of sausage and bread, please enjoy my niece in her toast cone of shame (it's for her own good she has a little wound she should not scratch)

I have so many questions about the hotdog and not sure I want any of the answers 😅

I absolutely love that as an adult I'm part of many book cults, including one with a talking cat shooting magic missiles, and another one where my friends want to gather for a weekend that we shall spend reading the next book in the Massverse while also talking about what happened in the Empyrean 😅

I'm running a free online 1 hour accessibility webinar in September! Catching accessibility issues in mockups is cheaper than fixing them in code. I'll cover how to check your mockups, documentation examples and you will get plenty of resources to help. 📅 Tue, Sept 1, 2026 · 19:00 CEST

Spotting Accessibility Issues Early — Online Workshops

Accessibility is not only a developer problem, it's team work! And many issues can already be spotted, prevented, and documented during the design phase. In this 1-hour webinar, Stephanie Walter will show designers and open-minded curious developers how to review mockups for common accessibility issues.

Another episode of "I don't understand how this Adobe error message is even possible". I created the file yesterday, I only have one account, but today, I can't access it because the account I have created the file with, doesn't have access to, said file. Fun. It was working fine yesterday, obvs!

"what were the 2000s like?" they were just this. nintendo sold a tribal tattoo game console and it came with a winamp skin

My curated weekly newsletter is out. This week I'm interested in mindful user centric design and how AI shapes discovery versus delivery. I also summoned explosive pomeranians, centered things in CSS and created fun lo-fi effects on images. Enjoy! 👉🏻 stephaniewalter.design/blog/pixels-...

Hehe grinding my wait to the top with my Queen and Goddess Soraka this season! Pro tip if you play with me: I will burn my mana to keep you alive, but also I will happily watch you die if you insult me, especially after YOU make a bad move that got you killed and there was nothing I could have done

Still unemployed & it’s been hard catching up with finances. In need of help with rent, bills, & medications. If you can help financially or share this post, I’d really appreciate it. Thank you.💛 - paypal.me/conniechiiiwa - venmo.com/u/conniechii... - buymeacoffee.com/conniechiiiwa

I'm reading the Soul Fraud series and I have to admit.. Spoilers the second book where a human with very limited skills ends up in the fae realm and needs to choose which fae season princess he will marry due to a pact worth the fae queen is making me chuckle a lot. Reverse trope hahaha 🤣

AI can be useful for the delivery part of the design process, the part where you rapidly iterate different solutions. It’s useful also if you don’t need a deep discovery phase, and the “good enough” solution will work.

Discovery vs Delivery

A personal perspective on AI, product quality and the growing divide between deciding what should exist and efficiently building it.
