I love it when clients return to do updates. Last month, I refreshed Anastacia-Renee's website with all her new accolades, awards, publications, videos etc, AND I did an update to the artwork I'd done for her over a decade ago with an entirely new vibe. Go read her poems: www.anastacia-renee.com

I recently reread Sense & Sensibility and watched the 1996 film in theater. It’s still my favorite Austen novel and my fav film adaptation of her work. I’m Elinor by family role but Marianne in mood and the phrase ‘inside you there are two Dashwood sisters’ kept coming to mind as I reread the book.

New site! Author and professor @katelockwoodharris.bsky.social had seen the work I'd done for her UMN colleague, vvganeshananthan.com, and asked for a site of her, original artwork, and organization for her extensive academic publishing. Thrilled with how it turned out. katelockwoodharris.com

Generally we think of alt-text as the domain of those with accessibility needs. However alt-text is useful for many reasons, which benefit your viewers, as well as you, the creator!
An infographic. There are six panels.

1. "Slow internet. Alt text is shown in place of unloaded images." a drawing shows a phone with poor signal, and alt text is visible where the image should have loaded.

2. "Findabillity. Alt text helps to search content." A drawing shows someone searching 'dog with banana' and a post is shown underneath without the words 'dog' or 'banana'. It is implied to be part of the alt text.

3. "Screen readers. Alt is read out to people using text-to-speech software". There is a drawing of the output a screen-reader would show when viewing an image with alt text on bluesky.

4. "Translation. Alt text can be translated". A drawing shows a post being translated. The alt text is also translated into german.

5. "Readability. Text in images can be made legible" There is a drawing of some truly awful handwriting inside a speech bubble. The alt text clarifies what the text is supposed to say.

6. "Disambiguation. Description helps clarify intent." There is a drawing of a post with a picture of a creature. This is styled after the famous optical illusion of a rabbit and a duck. The alt text clarifies that the animal is a rabbit. It definitely looks more like a duck.

Last month, right before the holidays, I got to work on a new website for @readandbreathe.bsky.social. Her latest book, What My Father and I Don't Talk About, is out this May! Visit her website to learn more: michelefilgate.com
A website landing page with pink dahlias over a blue background. At the top of the page it reads MICHELE FILGATE and at the bottom there are buttons to enter the site, pre-order her new book, and social media linksA website ABOUT page. Under a banner of illustrated dahlias, there is an author photo of a woman in glasses next to text about that woman.

WE LIVED ON THE HORIZON is now out in the world. It's the first "timely" book I've written--wholly unintentional, I assure you. If you've been thinking about AI, revolution, altruism, the future, gender, aging, and what care is ... it might be the book for you.
Cover of We Lived on the Horizon pictured on a desert overwritten with junk code. Text reads "Swyler achieves a seemingly impossible amount of sophisticated worldbuilding using an economy of vibrant prose. Singularly stunning and stunningly singular." --Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

I’ve been online since the days of listservs and Delphi and usenet and hand-coded websites. Twitter was great, briefly. What lasts? Website and their blogs—they rise and fall but don’t go away. My stats have been steadily rising again now for four or five years. And I own it—no one can close it down

Big news—I was selected to participate in Washington Filmsworks’ 2024-2025 Above the Line Education Forum for Documentary. This cohort started last month and it's been so great. #filmmaking #keepfilminWA
A picture shows tiled faces on a yellow background, with text that reads: "tallfirscinema Today's big news-@vasantsalcedo was selected to participate in Washington Filmsworks'
2024-2025 Above the Line Education Forum for Documentary. This is an incredible opportunity to learn alongside the amazing filmmakers who were also chosen for the cohort and come out a better director and producer for all our current and future projects.
From @wafilmworks: "Meet the 25 emerging documentary filmmakers participating in our current Above the Line Education Cohort!
"The bill that passed during the 2022 legislative session gave us the ability to serve a wider array of emerging filmmakers in Washington State," said Executive Director Amy Lillard. "This is the first time in the organization's history that we're able to invest in the careers of documentary filmmakers who will undoubtedly bring culturally diverse stories and perspectives to both the big and small screen."
