Registered for the ConFuzzled lottery. Let’s see if I’m gonna attend a furry convention for the first time in 13 years or not. 👀

Today, because I woke up at 2:30 in the morning, I learned that Harry "HBomberguy" Brewis is the reason Toots are called Toots, and that it was a fart joke.
I would've missed this forever if it weren't for acid reflux.

#introduction
Hi y'all, @batbeeps here.
Olive is my other half (in a plural system sense, not a relationship sense) and, well, they wanted their own Mastodon profile. So here it is.
Olive is largely, but not entirely, non-vocal. Toots from them will only occasionally contain words, largely consisting of actions, emojis, images, and sounds.
No promises on how often this will get updated, as Olive's ability and willingness to front can fluctuate a bit too.
Stay fresh, y'all 💜
Goddamn the moment they ignite the SRBs and she just fucking FLIES god I love it 💚💚💚 #Artemis1
@astra she/her like a spacecraft
@chiropica Shame there’s no domain like eeeeee.eeeeee
I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned this somewhen in the past, but Adobe Fonts, plz, tell me what OpenType features you have. (You too, Google Fonts.)
Why do I prefer to write my name ‘beeps’ in all lower case?
So that the b mirrors the p.
That’s it. That’s the entire reason.
Now you know.
@megaRammy People who say Safari is as bad as IE, they know nothing of my pain. NOTHING.
It's not fully fledged, by any means. We've done what was required for our existing components and for future-proofing.
Unfortunately things like full RTL language support (which I'd have *loved* to do) hit the cutting room floor early on.
Oh, and also it had to work in a way that's backwards compatible with hundreds of existing http://GOV.UK services (some of them partially translated), be WCAG 2.1 AA compilant, and… most painfully of all, it even works in Internet Explorer 8.
"Big whoop," you may think, "you just replaced hardcoded strings with variables."
In some cases, yes. In others, we had to work around hardcoded string interpolation, devise methods of swapping out strings based on other variables, standardise new APIs to do all this with...
Not too often I post about work, but a piece of work I’ve been involved in for most of this year has finally been released: You can now translate every single text string in the http://GOV.UK Design System. All of ‘em!

@owashii@plush.city I totally failed to remember that we actually use the phrase “little bugger(s)” to refer to children in the UK, too…
English, man.
@owashii@plush.city At best I can only assume it’s meant to reference the Volkswagen Beetle being nicknamed the “bug”, no idea why a kid’s game would be using it otherwise!
@owashii@plush.city If you think that’s bad y’all don’t wanna know what “bumming a fag” means in the British vernacular.
@astra or write to yourselves! as is also often the case in our system :>
