Honestly, it’s more likely I misunderstood. All I meant that a button is a container with text in it, without the container, it’s just text- which would make it an in line link.

If it wasn’t a container, it’d be an inline link?

A while ago I asked for recommendations for portrait photographers in London. I found a really good one, but lost the thread (other platform, deleted account) Soo… any good recommendations?

Legitimately, now a must have. For everything from snippets, like when I have written prompts with variables that I reuse, to quickly finding the right emoji to quick maths, quick notes and running tasks. Absolutely pivotal to my workflow.

So do people realize that we aren't building new train tracks when we expand the amteak network, I have multiple times seen people say that we shouldn't expand the network because it would destroy protected lands, which would be a fair criticism but Amtrak doesn't build new tracks, we use existing tracks. We are not destroying protected lands, we are using land that has already been clear for a century

amtrak-official

Also the alternative is more highways which destroy significantly more land for less capacity than railways. So the question is do you want to keep complaining about something that isn't happening and let the environment get damaged as a result or do you want to actually learn how things work

So, wait... Were the tracks not in use at all? Or was it like *only* commercial transport on those tracks? Either way, its good that amtrak will be able to use them again, but one would be much more frustrating

Almost all rail tracks in the US are either abandoned or only used for freight rail at the moment

Jesus, we really have no excuse for having such a lackluster rail system, do we?

Sure we do! The US government hate both rail and you personally

If all the federal workers who have been fired, the remaining ones quit and just up and started another government, effectively creating a functional pseudo govt to restore the timeline? Is this anything?

The thing you want is just behind that thing that you don’t want to do. This single sentence has changed the way that I think about things so much in the past few months. I’m happier, calmer and achieving more, more efficiently. Who knew I was what was getting in my way all this time?

Okay, so i've wittled away my goals to actionable work. From the master 3 categories, lets see how it moves forward. -Facilitate Professionalism -Build Consistency, consistently. -Be the person that you want to be

You’ve been pretty consistent with that for me, and I wholeheartedly appreciate it. Great work, you’ve made my day more than once.

Stevie Rodger @stevierodger.bsky.social · 03/01/2025

I want to be a better professional. I want to be more present. I want to be more valuable to those I want to help and those I want love. So I reframed.

I started redefining my goals today because honestly, I was a little grossed out by what I had read. I’d been hit with a huge wave of self help notions like ‘make a million this year, you’re the only thing getting in the way’

I still have some issues with contrast now, but I am so much happier with the way that this is looking. I brought it back down to 3 colours - which will make it easier to add in variables for dark mode and has refined the contrast to be much cleaner and clearer. #designsky #portfolio #contra

Stevie Rodger @stevierodger.bsky.social · 02/01/2025

I looked at other elements that distracted the primary object on each screen. I adjusted some colours and fixed the positioning on some items in the window, Although I have to admit the colours were the things that would probably have the biggest impact.

(Improved Contrast):

Further iteration of the three-panel interface with refined contrast levels. Key interactive elements and important information stand out more clearly against background elements. The visual hierarchy has been enhanced through strategic use of contrast, making primary actions and critical information more prominent while secondary elements recede.

100

Stevie Rodger @stevierodger.bsky.social · 02/01/2025

Firstly, I looked at the footer. It didn't need to be the highest contrast colour on the page, it's not so important so I brought the heirarchy down. On the first screen - it got lost in the contrast of the image behind it. So I just added a background blur and lowered opacity.

(Footer Menu Changes):

Similar three-panel interface to the first image, but with subtle changes to the footer navigation menu's visual hierarchy. The navigation icons and labels maintain consistent positioning but appear more subdued, allowing the main content areas to take visual priority while preserving functionality.

100

Stevie Rodger @stevierodger.bsky.social · 02/01/2025

This just wasn't coming together. The colours felt murky - it wasn't clear what was important and it just wasn't feeling like it was in the right place.
