Tbh I'm not happy about Quidditch being played in a national team kind of way, but well, these are the matches that you can view online without ever interacting with a real person, so I am stuck with that
…I could watch some Muggle Quidditch that happened recently? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4m4gSsuBd0
The commentator is Willow Rosenberg which is good. Quidditch is incredibly confusing/boring to watch though unless you actually have the rules memorised well (which I don't) because it is really fast. Hmmm. I mean I should go to bed some time soon. But.
I gave myself a MY MY MY, I'M SO BI Ohrwurm (which is ok though, I love how that song embraces all the bi stereotypes and is cute and awesome, except very binary, I mean come on, having Buck Angel in the video is awesome but can't be all your trans inclusion, but I can even ignore that because I like it so much)
wait why do I keep spelling "me" as "my"
oh actually
I think my is what I consider proper English orthography for literally every my my
I almost wrote gross with a ß because that's just the proper way*
*actually that is my bias because I'm not from Switzerland where gross would also be the proper way**
**I'm sorry to throw around groß opinions about ~proper German orthography~. that is really nothing anybody should do, I gueß now you know that side of my
gross? things I do when nervous
…we all have that small thingie that never heals for long because we keep scratching it open, right?
(I don't even mean in a metaphorical sense. A few years ago a cat got its claw stuck somewhere in my arm, and it made a tiny thingie that would have gone away really quick… except it's become my go-to "scratch or chew when nervous" area. it's now a few millimetres in diameter of dry skin / scar tissue that is slightly elevated and very convenient for that purpose.)
Okay more #AgentsOfSHIELD (I know all the episodes I've watched so far, but I only remembered a tiny bit of the plot so rewatching seems like the right thing to do)
Of course, all of that is pretty silly compared to what Twitter looks like.
The tweet itself halfway down the page, buried in a mess of random, unused junk.

The about page isn't bad, but there's no headings or anything (other than the instance title, which is a h2 instead of h1 for some reason)
For the most part, it isn't terrible.
(Yes, *we* know what it means, because we can see the retweet icon and star icon; a screen reader doesn't have that advantage.)
Frustratingly, the column headings aren't columns, and there's no easy way to jump to them. That mess of links at the top doesn't actually navigate to the relevant part of the page, it just tries to load it.
Anyway, one fairly simple fix to this is a "screen reader" CSS class for "invisible" text. As an added bonus, it also makes copy-pasting keep some context.
First image: Added text in screen-reader class
Second image: Added CSS rules to clip the span to a 1x1 pixel
Third image: results of copy-pasting the text

Removing them from a single post's page reveals there's no real meaning behind most of the data. What does "0 - 1" mean?
Removing all styles from Mastodon reveals that the emoji button is absolutely gigantic. Yay SVGs.
