If I wanted to stop paying various cloud storage subscriptions and bring everything onto an external hard drive or NAS that I only pay for once, what would people recommend? I’d need at least 5TB of space, & would want easy access from a PC and a Mac.

It’s looking increasingly likely that I’m going to need to start earning a much more regular salary than freelancing is providing, so if anyone has any leads on remote front-end dev roles please hit me up. Everyone I’ve worked with says I’m proactive, communicative & great at what I do.

I love solving puzzles like ‘how can I make the hairs on this squiggle look like they’re blowing in the wind’; I’m big on optimisation & making sites as small as I can; I don’t like using LLMs for anything, especially writing code; accessibility is extremely important to me.

My most popular codepen is also the one that spawned my most popular @gsap-greensock.bsky.social forum thread, entitled ‘please help me give my tortoise a hat’; codepen.io/fionchadd/fu...

abhamilton.comHomeThis is the website of AB Hamilton. Their first book, Beastwoven, will hit the shelves in October 2026.

My CMS experience is predominantly WordPress-based but I’ve also dabbled in Craft and Shopify. I write semantic, accessible HTML, serve database content with php, style with CSS, and then use JavaScript for complex animations e.g. abhamilton.com

When you think you know what the worst case scenario looks like and then the universe is like ‘you sweet summer child’.

Absolutely fuck everything

I feel like I’ve been living a waking nightmare for three months now. There was hope for a while but it‘s gone now, I think, and I don’t know how to cope with how different and difficult our lives are going to be. I just want Dan back the way he was and it’s breaking me that I can’t have that.

The paraneoplastic syndrome they think he has, the one that best fits his symptoms, has a one in ten million incidence among adults.

There’s no set treatment because there’s no body of evidence, there are no clinical trials because there aren’t enough cases, hardly any doctors have ever even seen it.

I just can’t believe this has happened. I can’t wrap my head around it.

Cats looking at me this morning like the rain is something I’ve turned on deliberately just to spite them.

I follow my grandparents’ care home on Facebook and me & my sisters have a group message where we share the best photos they post and anyway I think I won this week.

Maybe today will be a better day.

Lol. Lmao.

I can’t cope with any of this.

New rule: no-one is allowed to tell me to make sure I’m looking after myself unless they’re offering specific help to enable me to do that.

People keep telling me how strong I’m being but I really wish I didn’t have to be.

I've been making cards out of my watercolours and I really like them. Expect to get a card for every occasion now.

I’m having the worst year of my life and my fucking mother-in-law seems dead set on adding as much stress to the situation as she possibly can, all the while crying “won‘t someone think about how hard this for *me*”

This is fucking breaking me.

I have to stay positive in front of Dan and I am literally at the hospital every waking hour of every day and it just doesn’t leave me with any time to have the breakdown I probably desperately need to have.

She’s coming back on Monday and I don’t want to spend any time with her at all but the last time I left her alone with Dan she told him he wasn’t trying hard enough to get better and so I don’t want to do that either.

@poorlycatdraw.bsky.social

I’m just so tired of feeling like nothing I do is enough, like everything I suggest is wrong. I’m trying so fucking hard. I literally don’t know what more I could be doing.

Looking for someone who can do 90’s point-and-click style pixel art for a commission. Short notice but it’d need to be done in the next two weeks. Lemme know if that’s you, and share your portfolio please!

I mean, this sounds absurd but on the other hand my husband’s GP referred him for an endoscopy in April, marked the referral ‘urgent: suspected cancer’ & the local hospital’s ENT department downgraded the referral to routine without telling anyone. He was eventually offered an appointment in August.

Yes, and that's why Labour did not move quickly to restrict this kind of donation - just in case some billionaire wants to give their party a huge amount of money in the future The system needs to change

Hard to shake the impression that the overriding sentiment in Tories and Labour to the Reform donations was envy rather than concern about our democratic system….

Did a tally today and since Dan was admitted to hospital I have crocheted 1 jellyfish, 2 octopuses, 4 monsters, 12 whales and 25 mushrooms.

The whales and mushrooms are getting left behind for everyone who’s been involved in Dan’s care, when he eventually gets discharged, so I’m hoping to get to 50 in total but recently I’ve been been distracted by monsters.

In my defence, though, LOOK AT THIS:
