Days when I have Done Lots Of Things I Needed To Do make me feel simultaneously pleased with myself and a bit wretched. Pleased with myself because I’ve actually made an effort to get things done and have indeed done things, but a bit wretched because I’ve actually made an effort to get things done and have indeed done things and yet somehow I’ve failed because there are still things left that I need to do tomorrow.
Whereas on days when I decide not to do anything I need to do, well, mostly I just feel unashamedly lazy and content. Which may explain why there are more of those days than of the other kind.
Summary: plea for help with a CSS accessibility fix that people are recommending.
Yay! Used the word ‘antics’ in a post and then suddenly thought it might have problematic origins but it looks like it hasn’t. I like it when words turn out to be okay.
Summary: some inconclusive thoughts about depictions of university life in popular fiction.
In the nine months since I spent painstaking hours transcribing that video, this is the first note my reblog+transcript has ever received.
I’m so delighted that I’m going to completely ignore the possibility that this curiously-named tumblr is a spambot possibly selling shoes.
Instead, I’m going to watch the video again and laugh a lot. Satah, you are all the awesomes. (Sorry about the pronouns in the transcript.)
A continuing conversation about bookmarking / favouriting things straight from the dashboard.
What I’d find quite handy is a way of saving Tumblr posts to my browser bookmarks / favourites straight from the dashboard without having to open them in new tabs / windows. That’d be nice.
a) do you use Missing E?
b) you should be able to right click the upper right corner of a link, and ‘bookmark this link’ should be an option
a) Yes — has it got a function that helps?
b) As in the upper right corner of the post, where it folds over if you hover over it? Right-clicking that only gives me ‘Open link in new tab’, ‘Open link in new window’, ‘Open link in incognito window’, ‘Save link as…’, ‘Copy link address’ and ‘Inspect element’. That’s in Chrome; maybe it’s different in other browsers?
Also 
I don’t know what browser you use, or if this is a good solution or not, but on firefox I can just click and drag the upper right corner of a dashboard post to the browsers bookmark button. Hmm… In Chrome I can get drag the corner to drop the URL into various places but I haven’t got anywhere I can drop it to make it a bookmark. It is a neat new way of opening a new tab, though, so thanks for that!

I keep searching my room for things and failing to find them but in the process finding whatever it was I searched for in vain the day before.
So to find the thing I want today, all I need is to search for the thing I’m going to want tomorrow. But what will that be?
!! spoilers, sweetie
Spoilers :(
Eek, I’m really sorry! I hope it didn’t matter too much in the end.
Turned into a doll? Seriously?
I did the Tumblr Blackout thing. I wasn’t organized enough to actually do a post saying that I was doing it, but hopefully I at least contributed to whatever dip in usage their stats will show for the day.
I hope at least some of you did it too, or I’ll have to spend all day tomorrow catching up with my dashboard. ;)
