Are any of my mutuals on Strava?

I am trying to pick up running again to help me through a rough patch, and frankly, I could use some camaraderie on there ๐Ÿ˜„.

The photo shows the back of a pink hoodie stretched over a small table. Stamps resembling book spines line the bottom, one stack of books has a teacup on top. Above the row of books is a stamp of an open book with sparkles coming out of the pages.

I made my pink hoodie cooler. I just have to wait for it to dryโ€ฆ (itโ€™s oil based ink so it will take awhile.)

I love CSS folks. They are soldiers of joy and delight. The world is burning and AI debates have people at each others throats and CSS peeps keep being like โ€œcheck out this dancing turtle I made out of divs ๐Ÿฅฐโ€

If you are going to WHY, make sure you don't miss this!

If you are a tech / hacking lover and somehow not going to WHY ... why the heck not?

5 a day gets me slightly paranoid. 7+ makes me see the secret forces of the universe and they are out to get me, good thing I am faster than light now. Also no sleep and stomach ache.

Shadowing artifacts and light bleeding everywhere. Slit camera effect on leaf shadows. Still amazed that corners of rooms are visible, so many bounces and HDR

Whoever designed whatsapps "swipe up to talk" must not be in *any* group chats with elderly relatives.

I'd say ad reseller is decidedly worse than ad agency.
