Read a book review on my timeline that didn't mention the title or author.
Went to reply in confusion because the book sounded interesting, and realised the details were in the content warning and I have those completely disabled in my client.
Please don't use content warnings like email subject lines.

Ever since I saw that blog post, I was like "Hey, can I create an adblock filter to disable scroll fading?".
Since I had filters for common smooth-scrolling, I split them into their own list and added a few rules that disables the most common scroll fade libraries:

Is there no way to disable dragging a tab to a new window completely in Firefox or Firefox-based browsers (like Zen)? It keeps happening on regular clicks. Click on a tab and pop! it's in a new window.

At this rate, another ten newsletter "broadcasts" and I will have lost an entire year's worth of subscriber growth
Not because my attrition rate is unusually high, it's pretty normal, but because growth since September has flatlined
That's my own fault because my ongoing ambivalence about the software industry has fast been turning into an outright dislike, which isn't conducive to building up a dev audience.
OTOH, writing the newsletter has been more enjoyable. Just pays a lot less

So a little while back, @laura wrote an excellent introductory book on accessibility and inclusive design called Accessibility for Everyone for A Book Apart.
Then, A Book Apart folded and the authors managed to get their rights back.
And yesterday, after Laura put a huge amount of work adapting the book into a beautiful website she built using Kitten*, we republished the book under Small Technology Foundation Press.
You can read it for free at:
