This is a good post. I just wanted to comment as a non-binary AFAB person who looks "like a woman".
🧵Like others in this piece I got a lot out of these spaces at the start of my career and contributed to various ones as well. The community spirit and support meant a lot to me.

Why Women in Tech isn't enough
Women in Tech spaces help, but fall short in the long run. Real progress needs systemic change and active involvement from men in positions of power.

A while ago, I posted about “views”, a new definition we've been working on.
Good news, we resolved on using a specific definition (draft). Updated my post to explain: hidde.blog/views/#headi...
thanks to all who chimed in, and specifically the efforts of co-chair @alastairc.uk to make this happen

In May I got to give my most favourite talk What Do You See: Alt-Text as an Artistic Medium at @heypresents.com Hey! All Day
If you missed it live, it’s now up on the world wide web!
heypresents.com/talks/wha….
heypresents.com
Hey! Presents · What do you see?
In this talk, Lola explores what it means to deconstruct an image and radically centre screen-reader users, using alt-text as an art space. How can we create an experience for screen-reader users that is just as creative and considered as the sighted experience?

A couple of CSS shape functions have been added to the ol’ Almanac, thanks to some heavy lifting from @undeadinstitute.bsky.social:
First up, inset():
css-tricks.com/almanac/func...
Aaaaaand there’s also xywh():
css-tricks.com/almanac/func...
css-tricks.com
inset() | CSS-Tricks
The CSS inset() function allows you to create rectangles to use with the shape-outside, clip-path, and offset-path properties.

By the way, sugarcube is a little project I've been chipping away at for the best part of a year.
It's inspired heavily by the amazing work of @bell.bz and @heydonworks.com (if you haven't already, buy Every Layout and Andy's CSS course NOW) - though the mistakes and React heresy are all mine

Now that WeTransfer is training its "A.I." on your files, I recommend using wormhole - which is end-to-end encrypted wormhole.app
wormhole.app
Wormhole - Simple, private file sharing
Wormhole lets you share files with end-to-end encryption and a link that automatically expires.
